That and every road is pay-as-you-go.

Probably not a big deal once you live there and have the transponders, but its a PITA to pull over and pay every road.

Everything is just a bit trashier in Florida. Which actually results in having a lot more fun usually, but there are some downsides.

I kinda like the fact that you can be a rich 50 year old guy aggresively hitting on girls at the bar and it's not the slightest bit weird to anybody. In my city that would be seen as kinda weird unless you were more of a hipster and younger looking.

I moved from NYC to Florida a month ago now and I can definitely see why so many people like living here, but it's still not for me. I like having 4 distinct seasons, having a landscape that isn't totally flat, prefer dealing with snow to hurricanes, and like having a basement, so I see myself moving back when circumstances allow.

Probably somewhere upstate in NY instead, though; I can't go back to living around hoodlums and bums.

Little known fact that 50% of all yankees that move to Florida die within the first year from a combo of mosquito bites and heat stroke.

Who nose. But the reason all "news of the weird" stories are Florida is bc it's very, very easy for you to look up.

-Hurricanes. Lol. Anything built post-Andrew is going to be fine. We got hit with a cat 5 and the worst power was waiting a few days for the power to come back.

If either of these take you out you're retarded.

I really don't know any Floridian that cares about the things you listed. The biggest cons are that northern libs bring their chitty values down here and the love bugs on 95. Fuarking love this state but I just hope you all fully comprehend that WE.ARE.FULL

Florida - "Sunny Place For Shady People". Lots of scumbag degenerates come here from other states trying to run from their past. We don't want you. Stay the f**k where you are.

You all realize the reason for Florida man meme is because Florida has the most accessible public records laws in the nation right? Other states have stricter public records laws and won't hand out police reports to reporters like candy.

I'll likely some day say fuk you to California and move to Florida.

Hurricanes.
Home insurance.
Humidity.
Traffic.

Are probably the negatives.

Biggest con is the fact that we missed electing a closeted homosexual crackhead as our governor by .4%. With a population increase from blue states we can kiss that slim slim margin goodbye.

Florida brahs, just sit back and imagine what Covid would be like with Gillum in charge, holy crap are we lucky!

Long story short, vote red new guys.

Yes it's called the sunshine state for the sun and heat but also the open records. I research potential dates before I meet them out. Also research people I meet. Lots of degenerates out there. Deadbeats, criminals, drunks, addicts, gamblers, multiple divorces, lawsuits, child support, evictions. It's a disgrace. It's amazing what you can find in the county court database. I'm a wealthy upstanding citizen with no criminal record. I have to be careful. I can't be associating with trash.

You get used to it. I see local teenagers wearing sweatshirts and jeans in September in south Florida everyday on my way back from work.

I wear workout gear/shorts, Beach gear/boardshorts 99% of the time. The other 1% is an aesthetic t shirt and jeans for the bar.
