[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Ugh, so far this is NOT making me want to move to South Florida anymore than when DH brought it up. I don't have any desire to learn Spanish but most of the job postings in my industry want bilingual employees! I am a white woman of European descent and learned German in high school but don't have any aptitude for languages and don't see us living in FL for a long period of time, definitely not long enough for me to want to learn Spanish in America. Again, no kids so we really don't care about schools. We'd be renting.[/quote]

I'm the Coral Gables mom who posted above. With no kids, I'd actually move to Miami for a few years. You can rent a fab condo on South Beach, enjoy the night life, restaurants, beach, etc. It's fun, and a great experience if you know you're going to be there for a few years only. It's when you add kids into the mix that things get more complicated. Take a Spanish class--why not? You have the time, and you're not being graded anymore.[/quote]

OP again. We definitely will not be in a condo - we have a big dog and need a fenced backyard. I would settle for a townhouse with a fenced yard, but prefer a detached SFH. We will rent so hopefully won't have to worry about flood/homeowner's insurance but will have renter's ins. I did grow up in the Hampton Roads area of VA and am no stranger to hurricanes. I don't exactly want to be in the middle of a floodplain, but I'm fairly sure that basically all of FL is a floodplain, so I guess that's out?

I've applied to one job so far in the North Miami area. I haven't found many openings in my field that don't absolutely require candidates to know Spanish, which is frustrating me already. I can't feasibly learn Spanish before needing a job and I don't particularly want to :lol: [/quote]
