That's what I'm worried about, moving to aplace which in a few years is going to be exactly the same.

I thinkg I'd probably have to move out of Florida to get away from that though.

My wife's uncles just bought a load of land there; the MIL is trying to persuade him to give her an acre or two. If that happens we'll probably all end up there.
