[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in florida. I moved for neither the taxes nor politics.

But i like living here; today, all the windows in my house are open, there's not a cloud in the sky, and it's 79'.  a/c hasn't been on since probably late October.  My kid goes to a nationally ranked public school.  The people around us are nice, and everyone is happy.

Yeah, desantis sucks and the politics can suck.  But i felt the same way living in DC for years, and i've always hated US politics (i'm an immigrant).  [/quote]

I live in Florida and also moved here for reasons other than taxes or politics.  I love it here!  Isn't it funny people in the DMV saying politics in Florida suck and that's a reason not to live here?  Makes me laugh!

[b]I am very hopeful that DeSantis does not become president but I wonder where all these folks are going to move when/if he's running the whole country[/b].[/quote]

An excellent point.  The people in DMV complain about florida because:

1) Politics.  Which are essentially no different than nationally politics. And few people in DC are fleeing the country to avoid US national politics.  
2) No taxes. Why is this a problem? 
3) Heat. More than half the state is cooler than DC during the summer. I get that not everyone likes that heat lasting so long (6 months instead of just 3 months), but on the flip side, is it so hard for you to understand that other people don't like the 4 months of cold, grey and wet you have in DC? 
[b]4) Alligators and mosquitos and cockroaches. When people start citing that, you know they are just reaching.[/b] [/quote]

I grew up in Florida, those are real things to worry about. And snakes, OP forgot snakes.  We are taught from an early age about red-touch-black-kill-a-jack and how to recognize a rattler.  Oh, the time my parents found a scorpion in their bed was a fun night.  Cockroaches are way bigger and more common down there; mosquitos are probably similar though its a lot wetter down there.[/quote]
