Why do people like Florida?

[Anonymous]

We are 100% going to snowbird there, and get residency to save on state income tax. It will almost pay for the carrying cost of the second home. I wouldn’t want to live there in summer though and I wouldn’t live directly coastal.

Oranges and tropical birds.

So you move there if you’re MAGA?

That's my impression.

There are many people who like having no income tax.
It is a lot cheaper to live there than in most northern states.
There are those who love living within easy drive of many, many beaches and having year-round weather where you can go to the beach.

All of this.

I have liberal relatives who live there. They love sun, beach/pool life year round, low taxes. One has kids in a very affordable private school, the others moved there after their kids graduated high school.

Lived in DC for 15 years and finally moved back home to South Florida. Never been happier!
-no income tax
-cheaper
-no winter
-currently looking out the window at a view of the bay and the ocean in the distance.
-my family is here
-i have no idea what most of the parents do for a living in my kid's class. work and connections are not the leading talking point.
-i have no idea what the political affiliations are of the parents in my kid's class. this is so refreshing to me after life in DC, where tribalism rules.
-10 minute drive to the beach. DH and I will take a day off from work, spend the day on the beach- swimming, having delicious seafood and drinks, and back home for daycare pickup by 530. Feels like we left the country.
-2-4 hour nonstop flights to central and south america have changed the possibilities of long weekend trips
-rats are not taking over the city
-almost perpetual blue skies and sunshine. the way those things alone affect your mood and day...priceless
-i am happiest among color. colorful clothing, buildings, people, design, textures etc. the dc uniform of grey, black blue and brutalist architecture was challenging for me
-i love latin and caribbean culture, music, food, etc.
-a lot of people just walk around HAPPY AS F. particularly in winter. because it's a beautiful day. because the color of the water is gorgeous. because in so many ways, life is objectively so much easier than in northern states. because you live where people vacation. whatever your reason is.

I miss my friends in DC and the museums. And Rose ave bakery. And the Obama years.

I love Florida. The weather, sunshine and pace of life is much nicer. MAGA or not, people down there are much more pleasant than people in the DC area. It’s not a rat race.

Besides all the ultra-MAGAs, everything else about it is just awful.

It’s flooded with poverty-stricken migrants, begging on every corner.

Truly flyover country.

Have you seen the tent cities and homeless encampments in dc lately?

Another Florida resident. I never see migrants begging. They are all hustling and working jobs. We occasionally have homeless male
bums flying signs at our interstate intersections but these men are drifters from other states who drift here due to the weather.
