Agreed. Like what culture are they referring to in DC, Philly, NY, etc. etc.? Illegal dirt bike riding and shootings? Omg, like anyone is missing out on so much 'culture' relative to the COL and tax price tags. The only culture people miss out from not living in urban cities is the decline of civilization.

Art? What world class artist is NOT represented in NYC? Now tell me what world renowned galleries I can find in rural Oklahoma?

Youlu can go to that once as a tourist and get your fill. Then move elsewhere for the 99.9999% of the rest of your daily life while significantly cutting down on your living and tax expenses. But let me guess, you're the first type to complain about student loan forgiveness while you choose to live in a stupidly expensive city like NY 'because of the art' all while you are $100k in debt with your liberal arts degree that nets you a $55k job.

You can keep your art museum and your illegal ATVers. I guess the taxes they mug you for are worth it in your insane world view.

I love when people say oooh the arts, oooh the museums. How often does the average college-educated resident go to a museum? Maybe once every few years.

Exactly.


All these clowns do is get wasted on Fridays and Saturday paying $25 for a glass of wine or cocktail and waste all their weekends hungover.. OooOoo. 'art!'. Pfff....you go to those maybe once a year, if that. Meanwhile, the city of NY is socking you $10k just for the stupid privilege of living in an overcrowded trashy city. All of that money could be used for savings in a retirement account earning compound interest or paying off student loan debt. But nah, gotta have the 'culture'.

DC fans can't judge about strip malls and chain restaurants. If you aren't going to a Michelin star restaurant in DC then you're at Chipotle or McD's.

Haha, yes. 90% of DC area is suburban strip malls. That's just reality. Yes, there is central DC and surrounding neighborhoods but Florida has urban centers too.

Climate change is going to cause a lot more issues in FL. I would not move there.

I’ve always known elderly retirees who move to FL. It’s been a thing for decades.

As crime continues to escalate and taxes continue to climb, people will look for other options. FL has gated communities.

those gated communities do not protect them from FL state laws.

LOL, yea yea, sure, believe whatever you want. Stay where you are at. The grapes are sour.

? what are you saying? That living in a gated community makes one immune to FL state laws?

Read the whole sub-thread you are responding to.

I did. The response about FL state laws is regarding some draconian laws Desantis is coming up with. How does living in a gated community protect you from those laws?

LOL, yea yea, sure, believe whatever you want. Stay where you are at. The grapes are sour.

I know two couples. In both cases, the wife is hispanic and the husband is republican. It seems a good fit.

It may not be important to you (which is fine). But it is important to some of us that we can take our kids to the occasional show, that they are raised in a multicultural environment and that we can take them to museums etc once in a while on a Saturday morning. My kids are not art critics or anything but they have grown up going to museums a couple of times a year. Like most kids similarly situated on the socio economic ladder wherever they live in the US, they spend most of their time going to school, sports practice, ECs, and perhaps a part time job. But sometimes it’s the 5% time stuff that will stick. At least I hope so.

PS. I grew up in Florida. And wanted something different for my kids.
