Winter is only like 3 months. I'd rather deal with the DC area winters for 3 months than the hellish 3 month summer weather in FL.

Actually the balmy season in FL is from about October to May so about six months. May through September it's pretty hot. Unlike you I'll take that over the cold, wind, ice, snow, dead foliage, grey skies, depressing winter in the DC area which typically lasts from November through March which is more like five months.

I guess you don't mind the stinky sargassum seaweed in the summer.

Also, I lived in CA for 40 years, so I know what nice weather is like year round. I still would rather deal with DC winters than FL summers. It doesn't really get that cold in DC until January, and then that lasts usually until early April.

Isn’t it nice that everyone DOESN’T all
want to live in one state or region?

People tend to overlook inland Florida. But many of the reasons that people criticize Florida tend to improve if you are inland. The real estate is more affordable, insurance is cheaper, the hurricane risk is lower, the climate change risk is lower, and there are fewer tacky "new rich" types.

And even when you live inland, a beach is still a relatively short ride away.

I live a bit inland too, my homeowners insurance is not high. It's a easy ride to the beach, and I've never seen sargassam-I was just at Sand Key Park yesterday.

Divorce laws currently are easy after 2925 women won’t be able to initiate.

Idiots who can not do math think it’s cheaper .

So, you don't know anything. Gotcha.

I used to want to live in Florida, but now that it's hotter here in the DC metro, and now that parts of FL aren't any less expensive, I don't see a reason to move there.
