[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who lives in Florida, I guess there are some savings, but we pay A LOT in home insurance because of the hurricane coverage. [b]Our $1M home costs us $10K a year in home insurance[/b], our property taxes, $13K.[/quote]

And this is only going to get worse.  Plus, the rest of the country will, at some point, get sick of subsidizing Florida's rebuild when hurricanes and floods of ever-increasing frequency and severity continue to decimate it.  [/quote]
Climate change is really going to hit FL hard over the next 20 to 50 years. They are already seeing the impact of it.[/quote]

I have to say, [b]given what we know about climate change[/b], I think that people who move their now need to have their heads examined.  Or pick up a newspaper every once in a while.  [/quote]

+1  I don't even fantasize about retirement spots without checking the climate outlook data on places anymore.  [b]Northern Virginia has a relatively strong climate outlook and that has lessened my fantasies about moving.[/b][/quote]

DP.. why do you say this?

Don't some people say they wouldn't move to CA because of all the forest fires and drought?  Natural disasters is something I would definitely look at when deciding to  move some place.  I would  never want to live in tornado alley, for example, or anywhere that frequently gets hurricanes, either.[/quote]
