Let the Florida people go to Florida. They can have that awful state.

Getting worse every year, too. It used to be just a crazy, unorganized clusterfuck of a state. Now they're actively tearing it down.

Their latest seems to be actively gutting their educational system and banning books, so...

We moved to Florida back in 2015 but just moved back this January. It's not all bad there but I definitely see why snowbirds exist. Living there year-round is not great and it's become horribly overcrowded with some of the worst people.

The weather and population aren’t the main issue. It’s mostly the politics. If Florida was more like California I would move there in a heartbeat.

Well it's trending the other way and I don't see it coming back. The craziest people from every other state seemed to have flocked to Florida over the past 3 years.

The climate is too hot and humid, and its prone to really bad hurricanes. Also, it's become a hotspot for right wing and Evangelical crazies, and it's got a complete monster as its governor, DeSantis.

Google “Florida man” plus literally any calendar date (starting w your birthday) and you’ll get the amuse-bouche of Florida’s awfulness. It’s literally nothing but gators, assorted methheads, right-wing loonies, and extremely drunk senior citizens.

Suburban hell. You have to get on a mini highway for practically every trip, and the single family sprawl is depressing.
