Thinking of moving to Florida

[BigJay]

So damn tired of this cold and white shit already.

Have not left the house in 2 weeks. Guess it’s just a combination of getting old and the heart crap - but I am not reacting well to the single digit temps. Throw in 6” of snow and drifting making roads a pain to drive - got me wanting to move again.

Wife is not onboard with my preferred destinations (back to central NC or possibly East TN) - wants to move to Florida of all places. In general - I’ve never been a fan of living full time in Florida - combination of traffic, people in general and cost.

But if I HAVE to live down there - looking at citrus/levy/dixie county area. Seems to be a little more spread and and solid trump country. Just worry it might be a little too “southern” even for me. She has this wonderful idea of warm winters and year round sunshine - guess she forgets about ungodly heat in the summer, hurricanes and bugs as big as your hand.

My buddy just bought in Lakewood Ranch. Area is blowing up. Good location.

Fantastic area & safe

Many of those communities going up/blowing up you mentioned start out around $1 Mil

I don’t think anyone in Northern Nevada wants to know your secret

All the squares are moving to Florida

I know a few guys who only work the breakfast shift Ubering in the Disney area. No riff raff, running families back and forth between the hotels and parks, pretty easy and always busy.

I mean that definitely makes sense. The more I think about it the more I'm considering it when I get older

Come to SEA, live a life of freedom and luxury.

Plenty of better places than Florida

Beautiful city to visit - but I certainly don’t.

It’s a very strong culture clash of the have and have nots down there right now. Million dollar condos overlooking the water and a bunch of immigrants and blacks living in mobile homes surrounded by supremist and militias on all sides.

Crime rate is getting ridiculous.

Just had a Facebook friend that moved down that way - loves the weather but confirmed not a place you would want to buy a house right now. Neighborhoods can turn very quickly.

In fact anywhere in the lowlands is a no go for me - Western SC though is very different and remains on my list. Of course Mrs wants to be near the water and not a lot there.

Went thru and stopped several places in South Carolina recently and all i can say is my Lord.
Is the entire state trashed?!?
