[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know three retirees who have moved away from Florida. They thought they were there for good but decided to move back North. All had  various reasons for doing so, but politics played a part. [/quote]

False -- I know many who have moved, but it's because of booming real estate prices. That's why they move to Georgia or SC, not DC or NYC or CA or Il...[/quote]
and this is what happened in CA... more people coming in leads to higher housing costs.

Be careful what you wish for.

More people are moving out of hcol like CA and NY and moving to cheaper places like FL. To Californians, FL is cheap. To long time Floridians, it's now too expensive.

If money was no object, more people would live in LA than Miami.  Most people don't care that much about politics. They care more about great weather and interesting places.[/quote]

Apparently a lot of people in the DC area care a lot about politics in Florida to the point where they are only willing to vacation there but think nobody in their right mind should live there.  In fact they have a whole lot of misinformed opinions about living in Florida.

Certainly many people everywhere care about politics but if they were as outraged by what goes on in politics as they say they would be making firm plans to move to another country instead of whining about politics in individual states.  Despite the results of various elections that might make you believe otherwise, here are the facts from Gallup:

[b]Overall in 2021, an average of 29% of Americans identified as Democrats, 27% as Republicans and 42% as independents. Roughly equal proportions of independents leaned to the Democratic Party (17%) and to the Republican Party (16%).Jan 17, 2022[/b]

Also, in Florida:

[b]Nearly evenly divided between registered Democrats and Republicans (37 percent and 35 percent, respectively); the gap between the two major parties is the narrowest in the state’s history. Democrats have always outnumbered Republicans but now neither is a majority of the state’s 12.9 million active registered voters.[/b][/quote]
