[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You summed it up very well in your OP. Florida is all about appearances, the house, the car, the looks. The dichotomy of the wealthy and their servants (which include well paid servants like doctors and lawyers). People moving from DC to Florida shouldn’t delude themselves that anyone will care about their degrees, pedigree, cultured-ness, creativity or kindness. Relationship are transactional.[/quote]

We moved to St Pete from DC and this has not been my experience at all. Maybe we just got lucky, where we picked to live.[/quote]

Maybe you're younger and you have more time to work and save for retirement.

I personally would not raise a family in Florida. [/quote]

I'm 50 and moved here ten years ago. We have remote jobs we brought with us from DC, and both of us have changed jobs a couple of times since we got here - staying remote. That certainly makes it easier. But I just haven't found it to be about appearances or there to be any kind of upstairs/downstairs sort of life here. We aren't part of the country club crowd, and we live in a very family oriented neighborhood in the city, so maybe we just live in a different Florida than the people who are unhappy.

Look there's plenty not to like about Florida - but it sounds like folks here have been trying to join the Mar A Lago plastic surgery society, and honestly that's on them.
