You say this while some southern states are called "Corridors of Shame" because their public schools and infrastructure are just so bad.
Who said we are southern states?

Why do you post here? Leave DC people to themselves.
To make sure you stay there and don't infect our perfectly good areas with your failed progressive politics. For example, we house our homeless and provide subsidized housing for the poor. You let your homeless sleep on streets and put the poor in crowded hotels with no kitchen facilities.

Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. This growing suburb of Charleston has a warm climate, is near beaches and is surprisingly blue. https://www.bestplaces.net/voting/city/south_carolina/mount_pleasant

The price of housing is skyrocketing in FL because so many people, both red and blue, are moving there. However, relatively cheap housing can still be found in these areas if you are comparing to the DC area.
Despite many ignorant opinions to the contrary on DCUM I find FL to be a delightful place to live and I am staunchly democrat. Like other states (Virginia for example) the rural areas are almost completely red and the urban areas are almost completely blue. Registered Republicans in FL just recently started to barely outnumber registered Democrats after many years of the opposite. So it's pretty purple basically.
With the warm climate, decent schools in certain areas, and lower COL it's not too tough to ignore or tolerate whatever politics or political opinions you have a problem with and just live your own life.
You all are forgetting about HURRICAINES. Florida has 2-3 that roll over every year, usually just a fright but if you are not used to having a natural disaster come toward you, you will develop some major anxiety from it. Then you will get used to it and become a little crazy, but that's okay because everyone else is too down there. lol

Don't know about the Sarasota County schools, but the idea that St. Johns County schools are the best in Florida is horrifying. I have family that lives there, and those schools are atrocious. The St. Johns County school system wold probably be the worst school system between Baltimore and Richmond.
You are a bitter, spiteful liar. What's #1 on this list? https://www.niche.com/k12/search/best-school-districts/s/florida/
No one is disputing that they are good schools relative to the other schools in Florida.
St Johns is good overall. There are good quality schools in FL. I am from FL. But they are magnets or in ritzy areas. The areas of St Johns that are the wealthiest have good schools which honest is the same as Langley. Kids graduate if they put the effort and attend national schools. There’s drugs and bad influences in every “good public school”. So maybe you just know the losers from certain schools.
Sarasota has one top school but it’s for gifted kids. If you make it there, then you’re gold. But it’s not public. There’s good ones in West Palm and every major city in FL. Average schools aren’t great. But no they aren’t Baltimore material.
I believe you are referring in the bolded above to Pine View School. It is definitely public but is also a magnet school. 33% minoirty population and 11% economically disadvantaged. Much more reflective of general population than TJ in VA for instance, 79% minority (70% Asian) and 2% economically disadvantaged. There are some other very good schools in Sarasota County as well. And as in all of Florida there are also some good privates in the area.

Yes that’s the school. It’s public but not anyone can attend (not like your neighborhood school) is what I meant. It’s definitely for gifted, the magnet, I believe there’s a strict GPA requirement because I looked at that school for my kids. The privates are definitely high quality. Nothing Baltimore. In Miami you have Lady of the Sacred Heart and a few boarding schools not as well known but good schools.

There is no price on waking up to 70 degrees in January, going to the beach, not shoveling snow, driving on ice, or worrying about snow days, outdoor recess, etc.
Moving somewhere with better weather (I obviously define better weather as lack of winter) impacts every aspect of my day and life, positively.
I'd rather be surrounded by better weather rather than "the most educated" and anxious/neurotic people in the country.
Then you wake up and see your neighbor with a lifted 2008 Ford F350 and an after market exhaust that sounds like a jet engine with Lets Go Brandon stickers on the back..
Even that I could ignore. What really terrifies me is the prospect of waking up to see the state legislature put out a $10,000 bounty for that neighbor to snitch on my daughter getting an abortion. Or that the governor refuses to implement even the most basic restrictions during the middle of a deadly pandemic. Or that the board of education dumbed down the curriculum yet again to prevent teaching critical thinking, or to whitewash history in the name of preventing "critical race theory," or to promote religion in schools.
Individuals who think and act differently than me are fine, governments that systemically dismantle society are not.
PREACH!
Again another mother who is confident that her daughter will need an abortion. Good job, mom
Texas is not an option.
