I dunno.
Florida has an occasional hurricane and thunderstorms.
California has fires, floods, mudslides and earthquakes.
Florida also has a consistent supply of water.
Oh you mean the water with algae blooms? The water killing off manatees? And "occasional" hurricanes? Agree, if you mean, almost every year.
And condos collapsing into the sea.
You have have Florida. In 50'ish years, it'll be mostly under their putrid water tables.

He already did. Word is Disney is looking to reduce its exposure in Florida. They were moving a 2,000 people executive center to Florida….not any more. It’s just bad political to force companies to attack their customers and employees.
The Imagineers and others in Disney California revolted and did not want to move to Florida. That had nothing to do with DeSantis.
Why do you think they didn’t want to move?
It’s astonishing to me that Republicans consistently don’t understand how sht their politics and policies are and that lots of people hate their sick agenda and obsession with identity politics.

So yeah the politics plays into it but the weather and the overall vibe of how trashy Florida is with no other job opportunities is unattractive to most people. There may be people who are excited at how cheap and big the houses are out in Orlando but that’s about it.
I think the fact that most of Florida is just a few inches of sea level rise from everyone having a whole-house pool probably isn’t too attractive either.
You can't be serious? California, the state built on top of the overlap of two tectonic plates, that undergoes regularly earthquakes that could cause the entire state to sink into the Pacific Ocean is not more stable than Florida, the sand bar posing as a peninsula. Both states have large amounts of danger of catastrophic loss from natural weather events.
You can be arrested in Florida for saying climate change. It’s the law.

This. They didn't want to leave CA before the DeSantis/Disney feud.
Again, why do you think they didn’t want to move?
They like paying high state income taxes?

They will take his a.s down and they will enjoy doing it too.
