[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Floridian amused by these posts. Punching down at Florida must make people feel better about living in the DMV for some reason.

I like: outdoor hobbies like boating and golfing that I can’t do in DC for much of the year; proximity to amazing beaches and theme parks; no state income tax; the laid back lifestyle; and the fact that you can actually buy a nice, well built house in FL for the cost of an ugly split level built cheaply in 1970 in NOVA, among other things. I also hate dealing with months of cold/ice/snow and the sun setting at 4:45.

You learn to live with the storms, and they’re generally not a big deal if you live inland. You can also evacuate from a hurricane. I don’t know that I could live in a place with wildfires like parts of CO or on a fault like like coastal CA. I understand that people have different preferences than me, though, and that most people wouldn’t want to leave a place that is “home” to them.

This.  For people who claim to hate Florida, y’all sure do spend a lot of time thinking about us.  Enjoy your hate, I guess.  It’s sunny and 74 degrees.  We are taking the kayaks out.  The manatees are back.  [/quote]
