lol. True story: a few years ago when the states tourism group put together a Visit Florida campaign, they left the panhandle off completely.
They do have great beaches up there, though.
Great beaches, inhabited by people who are generally the reason for the state's infamous reputation. Living in St. Pete we fortunately only get a little taste of it.
And why is this a breaking news story every year? Fresh water in subtropical climate is rife with all sorts of shit.
and moved to Florida 34 years ago. Best move I made. People make fun of Florida all the time. Yet people are still moving here.
Well sure, the weather is great 9 months a year (and the other 3 still beats 10-15 degrees up north in the winter).. and the tax arbitrage is massive. As an aside, its time Floridians stopped getting bailouts every year or two in Hurricane relief. Start paying a state income tax for that - cost of living there.

Another uninformed person. What bailouts are you talking about? We pay homeowners insurance with huge premiums depending on where you live in the state. The state has nothing to do with it.
Panhandle = people are from AL, MS, LA, TN, KY, TX
Jacksonville area = GA and SC
Southwest FL = Mostly midwest and some northeast
Southeast FL (excluding Miami) = NY with palm trees
Miami = La Bodega + Europeans

You forgot:
West of I-95 and East of I-75 - where the native Floridians hide from the rest of the state.

I lived in Miami for 4 years. Homeowners insurance was not outsized relative to the Northeast. Car insurance was higher... but thats due to all the illegal and maniac drivers down there.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that hurricanes cost the economy $28 billion per year, the U.S. federal government picks up $18 billion of that tab, and 55% of that spending goes to Florida, 13% to Texas, and 9% to Louisiana. Thanks to climate change, that’s estimated to increase to $39 billion by 2075, So we’re talking annual bailouts to those gulf coast red states.
Then, of course, there’s the annual red state budgetary bailout. In 2018, Florida got $25 billion more federal dollars than it contributed in taxes.

#1) when did you live in Miami. My insurance has gone from $1900 to $7200 in the past 24 years and the house meets or exceeds Miami/Dade standards. I would hate to see what it would cost for a substandard house, if you could get someone to cover you.
#2) How much do the Feds payout for California fires, mudslides and other catastrophes. If you want to list disaster for bailouts....
#3) What about midwest tornados?
Can't worry about 2075, I won't be here and besides FL will be underwater so you won't have to worry. Predicted climate change will solve that problem!
Crazy drivers, yeah Miami is nuts - ranks there with Philly and Boston. Having learned to drive in Jersey City I'd rank PA drivers worst.

2013-2017 in Pinecrest for two years and then we rented for two years in Coral Gables. Dont regret a minute of it - great place to raise our kids (they went to Gulliver), and cost of living was substantially better than NY/NJ/CT. Wish we didnt have to move but not a lot of Finance jobs down there.

Down in "U" land. Yeah, it is a nice little area. Beautiful houses in there.
#1 son went to the U....
For the win!
This is for the win.
Not new really, it happens every year once the water gets warm or should I say really warm.
Dude, I’ve already had my entire board covered since March.
I had bubonic plague, so technically I'm still in it
Yes... feeding off of brains in San Francisco or Seattle would be much better :)
I will be moving there too...
Huh?
What makes you say that?
Its like veal. Soft and mushy from lack of use. Mixed with seasalt and residue of methamphetamine. A delicacy.
That's because you don't have to shovel humidity to get in the car to go to work in the morning.

Nope... either the Gold Coast or the Naples area. They dont mind the ketchup stains on my wife beater t-shirt there

Yes..Destin is apparently a really nice spot.
Here is the breakdown...
Panhandle = people are from AL, MS, LA, TN, KY, TX
Jacksonville area = GA and SC
Southwest FL = Mostly midwest and some northeast
Southeast FL (excluding Miami) = NY with palm trees
