When I lived there, I hated the lack of trees. No one asking for "greenery" means a bunch of pesticide lawns and bushes and palm trees. The only place that has any trees at all (and even those are nothing compared to the northeast, pacific northwest, or even the midwest) would be dumpy places far inland (also the only places you can get a walkable apartment for under $1800 anymore) that no one in their right mind wants to live in. Cultural wastelands made up of Wendy's and run down gas stations. No one likes Florida, sorry.

Tons of people who moved there over the past 2 years disagree with you. I can’t wait to get back.

And that's why the phrase "Florida man" exists. There's a certain type of person who thrives in the Roundup sprayed short cut lawns and sprawling strip malls that make up Florida. And you, my friend, are it.

Vermont is green for a few months, then turns white and only walkable for bears/moose.

You forgot brown for mud season and private leach fields.

I never took green space to be literal. I think it just means outside space dedicated to nature. Parks, valleys, etc… where you can have trees vs. buildings.

Most people who say "lots of green" mean literal greenery- trees and plants and such. Why would you take it to mean anything else?

In the same way we say crunchy or granola to mean someone who enjoys natural living. That person may not actually eat granola but it’s a term used to describe.

Correct, but "greenery" isn't a term used interchangeably like that. If someone wanted just general nature, they would say that.

Green Space by literal definition has nothing to do with the color green. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/green%20space

green space
noun
: community space consisting of land (such as parks) rather than buildings

Correct, but OP did not say green space, they said "a lot of green." A lot of green generally infers lots of dense trees, bushes, forest, etc. Not miles of suburban astroturf lawns. Duh tbh

This is five miles from the beach. Note the total lack of trees, right? Some of you people seem to have the IQ of a rock.

This is super cruel. It’s definitely not a dump. If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it at all. You need to go back to kindergarten.

Why are there so many Floridians and Florida simps on this board? What have we done wrong to bring on this influx?

Because Florida is a paradise. That’s why.

I mean you can’t deny that it’s just sprawl. Look at google satellite view. Completely man made from the beach to the edge of the everglades.

Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh.

Actually, you can pick almost any Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in the NE or Mid-Atlantic and get that.

Our house is just across the border in Highland Park St. Paul, but it is so green, with a beautiful autumn and yes, snow in winter. Love the city lakes. So many parks per square mile and walkable. And we just had a great state election.

well to be fair.. some people claim CA is going down the tubes, yet the price of housing there is still insane.

And the Bay Area is the fastest growing metro area with the largest GDP. Orlando #10.
