[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a moderate Democrat and I hate DeSantis and his cronies but I do love Florida in the winter. We are on the Gulf Coast which has a very Midwest vibe which beats the southeast coast NY metro vibe. We are empty nesters so we are not dealing with the underfunded public schools. Private schools cost far more than the tax savings from moving to FL. Summers are miserable from mid June thru mid-October but the other 8 months are delightful.

I find this interesting as well. [/quote]

Not surprising.  The baby boomers still represent the largest population group and they are retiring and FL offers tangible benefits to retirees.  They are not as worried about the longer term impacts of climate change nor the quality of the schools. [/quote]

You really think that after this past year and a half, the schools are so much superior in the DMV? You had no complaints? 
This is the covid era, everything is held to different standards. [/quote]

I'm not going to use the first year of a global pandemic to assess the quality of schools. I'd rather live in NoVA with high vaccination rates (75%+ for ages 12-18) and willingness to require masks to ensure the past year doesn't become an "era".  I'm also pretty sure I didn't have more complaints than I would have about the schools in FL. (I know people with kids there and I heard plenty).  My kids did fine--their teachers adapted, they adapted.  It's not like there was some magical protected place where it was all better.   But, over the years I've had my kids in multiple school systems (Including others thought of as "good") and I'm most happy with FCPS.[/quote]
