I honestly feel the same about the dc area (after living there for 15 years)
Gross weather except 2 weeks in fall abd spring, winter grey grey grey
Gross people- hyper anxious not fashionable or interesting, people wear grey grey grey
Hours to drive to a pitiful excuse of a beach
Transient area with cultural/demographic changes as each new administration comes in
Dc has all the annoyances of a small town and none of the perks of a big city

The issue is that DeSantis is doing his best to position himself nationally as Trump II and he is taking it out on Florida citizens. When a parent of a third grader gets a call from the school that their child must be quarantined you can be sure they are pissed.

I don’t know if I would say the majority want masks. I have a friend in South Florida and even at in her supposedly more liberal area, parents are fighting about mask usage and they’ve already had positive cases that require quarantine in the first weeks of school. It’s scary when bad policies have the potential to kill your kid.

You sound like a peach! Please, stay where you and and continue to grace the area with your wit and charm!

Florida is great if you don’t mind the crumbling health and sanitation infrastructure.

Orlando urges reduced water usage as liquid oxygen used to purify water goes to COVID patients

The city of Orlando and its water utility made an urgent appeal Friday afternoon for residents to cut back sharply on water usage for weeks because of a pandemic-triggered shortage of liquid oxygen used to purify water.
If commercial and residential customers are unable to reduce water usage quickly and sufficiently, Orlando Utilities Commission may issue a system-wide alert for boiling water needed for drinking and cooking. Without reductions in water usage, a boil-water alert would come within a week, utility officials said.
