[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think you will regret moving here from DC.

I live in Central Florida. I moved to Central Florida from the Sarasota area, from Arlington VA.

I would never move back to Sarasota. I haven't even wanted to go back to visit.

Central Florida is 10X better.

However this area attracts a lot of failed Hollywood types. They were Disney performers with shattered dreams. They go into a lot of different fields, but mostly event planning with all of the conferences at the Orange County Convention Center.

I am white woman in my early 50s. I am not unattractive. I have a doctorate, years of experience in my field. People including employers are very shallow here. Every one is judged by appearances.

People are very class conscious. There are really two socioeconomic classes of people forming in Florida: the very wealthy and those who provide services to them.

I make six figures working remotely. I am seriously thinking of starting a service oriented business like mobile dog grooming or bakery.

There's been nothing but traffic and construction. Business is booming here. [/quote]

[b]What didn’t you like about Sarasota?[/b][/quote]

I loved Sarasota prior to 2020. I lived there for six years. When there is a hurricane, you must get in your car and drive farther north. Or you can stay knowing all emergency services are suspended once winds reach a certain MPH speed and strength. This is now an annual occurrence. There is flooding afterwards.

Besides that, it's impossible to get on or off the Keys (Siesta, Lido, Longboat) during season with the traffic. I didn't live on the Keys, and I wouldn't. Off season, it's too hot and humid to spend that much time on the beach.

My good friend from high school got married in the San Francisco area. She and her husband sold their expensive house and moved to Siesta Key in that two years. I think she's unhappy there.

Another friend from high school moved with her husband from Central Florida to the Pan Handle, and then moved back to Central Florida after a Hurricane shut almost everything down.

Another friend of mine from high school just moved from Ft Myers with her husband to the Pan Handle area after the hurricane.

People here are like little ants moving boxes of stuff all over the state. [/quote]
