Title: Would you like to live in or travel to Florida?
Post by: melodylogan45 on May 12, 2015, 07:07:56 am
I like Florida, but not enough to live there. It is beautiful there, but it's too hot, too many storms
and too many large bugs.

No.  There are too many people and too much crime.

I've been to Florida a few times but don't want to live there.  We have to deal with tornados where I live and would not want to have to worry about hurricanes.  It was beautiful though!

No. I don't like really humid weather. I bet winters are ok, but summer would be brutal.

No, my brother lives there and sure, it's great in the winter, no snow, ice, or sleet.  But the summers are way too hot and humid.  And the bugs are huge!

I have several relatives who live in Florida and I like to visit them there in the winter months, but I wouldn't want to live there because of the humid heat in the summer and the bad storms they get there. Not to mention bugs.

I was born in Florida and have lived here or 59 of my 61 years.  It is home to me and its funny when people say the negatives because I guess Floridians says the same about other states.  I lived in NC for two years and it was too cold for me and too hard to drive in the ice and snow.  I don't like the occasional hurricane but other places have worse tornado's I think.  Oh well I guess we all have our preferences or what we get used to.   8)

I have never been to Florida so I don't know what the environment or the neighborhood and surroundings will be but there is always challenges in everywhere we travel. I do know there are alligators, crocks, and my worst nightmare the snakes over there so I would decline to move there just for the snakes.

Maybe so.  But I know a lot of people who have moved away from Florida to get away from the high crime rate.  Every state, city, county, town, they all have their problems.  If you have people you have problems.  People are good at not seeing what goes on in their own back yard and can see all the bad other places and in reality the issues are the same.  I know a family that moved to my area and they came from Tampa and the reason they left was because there was a drive by shooting every night.  I can say I don't recon we have ever had a drive by shooting where I live. lol

I've never been to Florida but I wouldn't want to live there, but I will go some day with my daughter and visit the beach.

I have never really thought about visiting or living there for some reason. Just does not appeal to me.  Maybe some day I will visit, but I really do like living the Southwest, even if we do have a few dust storms The beaches are pretty every where. But give me the mountains.

Since I'm such a beach baby, I can really see myself down in Naples, Sanibel Island, or Marco Island.  If I lived there, this is where I'd be.

I would never want to live there - too much of the same temperatures year round.  I do like to visit Florida though but haven't been there in a number of years.

Title: Re: Would you like to live in or travel to Florida?
Post by: vg7405 on May 13, 2015, 05:03:56 am
I love Florida, but not enough to live there. Between the weather (hurricanes, torrential rainstorms, etc.) and the wildlife (alligators, especially in the Southern region of the state), I am perfectly fine admiring the Sunshine State from afar. :-)

Post by: Tresbn00 on May 16, 2015, 08:00:55 am
I love visiting Florida but would have a hard time moving there if I weren't retired.  When I was in my early twenties I was in a bad relationship during college. I went down to Daytona Beach for spring break and didn't leave for a year. I finished my classes for the semester off campus from Florida and started going to school in Daytona. I picked up a job as a Dining Room manager, switched to bouncer and then became a bartender at a night club. I enjoyed my life down there but it was too solitary. The general population is way too transient. The weather can be disgustingly hot and humid.  I loved the ocean but rarely saw it because I was either working or studying.  Bugs were disgusting and things move at a much slower pace than I was accustomed to.

that's a myth about the storms. they are much worse in the middle of the us. its the islands off florida and the coast of the Carolinas that get the worst. our thunderstorms in florida are quick. they roll through and then are gone. except for a once in a while long raining day that is not really a storm.

I have been to Florida a couple of times.  My daughter and I like St Augustine.  It is hot and it rains at the drop of a hat.  I also don't like that some of the homes don't have grass.  They have rocks instead.

I'm a Florida resident but I don't live anywhere near any of the major cities. I actually live closer to New Orleans than I do any large city in Florida. I live in a smaller city that has a large population of military so we don't really have a lot of crime.

I used to live in Florida (Miami Lakes) back in the 90's for 3 years. I missed the seasons and it was very hot! I had no job and no drivers license. My husband always had the car for work and we never went any where. I think it's better to visit on vacation than to live there. Plus the economy is a lot less than in the northern states. Housing is cheaper but jobs are scarce.

The weather and other conditions in Florida are the same where I live.  The one thing I do find really appealing...no state income tax.  So yeah, I wouldn't mind living there.

I like Florida, but not enough to live there. It is beautiful there, but it's too hot, too many storms

I would like to visit Florida but not live there also. I want to take my son to all the Nickelodeon events and other theme parks they have there.

frequent visitor for the theme parks but wouldn't want to live there. Just too unbearable in the summer and in the winter I'd miss the snow

I have just returned from a wonderful vacation to Miami Beach and then up to Lakeworth to see old friends. I loved Miami Beach and had a great time in Palm Beach County with my friends.

I would consider moving there in time. As for bugs and heat, I live in Central Texas. it is hot and there are a lot of bugs. I do not think that Florida would be much different. Currently, we are having torrential rains and flooding. My friends in Lakeworth tell me that they seldom get hurricanes and when they do, the storms are mild or moderate.

I used to live there. My family moved to Florida from Georgia when I was around 3 years old.
Spent 30 years of my life in the same small town.

My son is still there. I'd like to visit, short term, but I wouldn't want to live there again.

I have never been to Florida. But it might be nice to visit for a little while. I am pretty sure I would not ever want to live there. I don't think I could handle hurricane season or any of the other craziness that goes along with living there (like extreme heat/humidity). Visit only thanks.
