Lived in Orlando for about 6 months years ago when I wanted to get away from here. Found my self right back. Majority of people who complain have never left the state. It’s not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

glad to hear. I'll be there in a couple months or so. Just tying up loose ends here and then I'm out. IDK how long ago you were in Orlando but my goodness... this place absolutely SUCKS out loud now. I first moved here back in 2003 (I've bounced around quite a bit admittedly...) and it was nice then. I'd say around 5-7 years ago was when it started to get noticeably shitty, to me atleast. Now... now it's just a ticking time bomb. I'm not even kidding. I want to live a simpler life. Go hunting, fishing, own some land, that sort of thing. I miss the change of seasons.

Florida is fascinating to people who have maybe lived up north their entire lives. As in... they were born and raised up north (or somewhere where it snows). Even then I bet a majority of those people are going to get burnt out on FL in 3-5 years. Some will have the means to move back to their home states or somewhere like the Carolinas, others (the unfortunate ones) will be stuck here in the rat race because of student debt or just debt/low funds and work for Disney or the other theme parks for years to come.

I used to love FL. I mean I was born here... it looks good on the surface. But once you start seeing everything underneath that.. Sorry. Rant over. lol...
