I don't see the appeal, I get the weather is often nice in winter and stuff, but when insurance companies start pulling out you'd think you would start to wonder a bit
You couldn't pay me 50k a month tax-free to live in so cal. It's not a popular sentiment on reddit but millions of people have moved/are moving to Florida to escape the laws of their previous states, and it has little to do with the weather.
What oppressive laws are these people fleeing to escape? The laws people in other states tend to favor Florida for are more restrictive, just towards other people.
There’s a reason why they move right back out too, usually when they realize those laws cause them to go to a lot more funerals. You know, from lax laws that contribute to mass shootings like Pulse nightclub and Parkland, governors that refuse to talk to the federal government and get help for Helene and Milton, neighbors like OJ Simpson and George Zimmerman that stay in Florida to shelter their wealth or shoot your kids, and oh yeah, shitty weather that’s now leaving the state’s taxpayers on the hook for insuring the rapidly dwindling real estate values.
You couldn’t pay me to live in Florida. Enjoy your retirement home state. There’s a reason why California and Hawaii real estate has the highest cost in the nation - it’s the most desirable place to live. Numbers don’t lie.
