Yes. Yes I am. And it’s true, everyone down here is crazy. It’s definitely NOT a veil FL projects to keep our property taxes down and the secret that if you enjoy spring/summer all the time then this is the place for you.

I spent my last two winters in RI making small talk to strangers of “ugh, this cold weather, amirite?” And having people respond “I love it, couldn’t wait for fall.” And I figured out it was me.

lastly, Yes, DeSantis is fucking nuts and many residents think that.

At least you have nicer weather!

We move where we have to in order to survive. No shame in it, friend.

Have you spent a summer there yet? I abhor the cold, but in Florida if you want to do something like go for a run in the summer you need to be done by 9am or else you die.

2 summers, going on my 3rd. I love it. In Central FL there’s more of a change in temp in morning, noon and evening. But in the summer I definitely have to plan around the heat.
