Or you could live here and enjoy life everyday while only going to the beach rarely but always having the option.

The humidity is gross in FL. Bad enough in DC; worse in FL.

On my lunch breaks, women would show other women before and after pictures of their breast implant surgeries and nose surgeries.


This is not my experience at all (and I am Jewish!) Maybe you and many posters here are extremely wealthy. I can see how the wealthy crowd down here might be more superficial than in other places.



Agreed. Some of these anecdotes are bizarre.

I think parts of Florida are the opposite of most places in the sense that the politics (and personalities) are more extreme near the coasts.

In Central Florida, long-time residents and worker bees tend to live inland where it's more affordable and the hurricane risk is reduced.

My MIL just quit being a public school teacher in Florida. They made them take a bunch of books out of the library which included Harry Potter and stuff like the Ramona books. They've really killed schools in Florida.

According to Forbes hundreds of thousands of people, obviously many of them women, move to Florida everyday. Clearly many women are happy there. I could be wrong but I don't think most people make home location decisions based on where they can get an abortion easily. I am a Democrat and I am pretty unhappy with our idiot Florida governor and the crap he's doing but I am thankful his days as governor are numbered. Also glad the country saw through him easily when he ran for president. The 6 week abortion law could easily mean the end of him here.

nobody thinks they need an abortion, until they do. Of course, a lot of the women who move there are way passed childbearing age, so they don't care.

I’m generally pretty numb to the news but the stories about the women missing the abortion ban cut off are really getting to me today. It’s so cruel.
