[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between the governor, the sticky heat, and the volatile weather, what's the appeal?  Enlighten me.[/quote]

Within a 10 minute drive, we have beautiful beaches, great kayaking and fishing, hiking and mountain biking trails, and 25 public clay tennis courts.

We have a pool and glorious gardens in our backyard if I don’t feel like driving anywhere.

We spend huge amounts of time outside and in/on the water. Far more than when we lived in DC.

I can’t remember the last time I wore long pants or closed toe shoes.

The biggest problem: which Gulfside restaurant should we choose for fish tacos tomorrow night?

DeSantis can f*ck right off, but I enjoy this place.

I mean almost any coastal area has those same amenities, though only the wealthiest have clay tennis courts.

You can pretend you can swim year round, but from May-Oct, the heat, humidity is relentless and afternoon thunderstorms every day. The ocean in Miami is 100F!  There is no outdoor relief.

There are really two Floridas — walkable to the beach and the scrub. Most of Florida is the scrub, but if you can isolate yourself from it and it’s residents, you can build a nice life. That means gated community (25 clay courts, that’s a giveaway), private school, probably having someone do your shopping and errands

PP here. Not a gated community. The tennis courts are public!

One kid in private, the other in a diverse public magnet.

July-August heat is unpleasant, but still play tennis and swim almost every night.

While I believe that one can make a good life anywhere, FL makes it easier than most places.[/quote]
