Give it 20 years and it'll be water front.

My point exactly. Politics aside, FL is in big trouble. There is no doubt at this stage.

traffic definitely is a problem here (and one of the downsides) , those 12-15 miles are an extra hour to get to the coast. not important to some people, but I love personally love to be at the beach with 15 minutes and to be near a city and nightlife.

I most certainly do. you only need to see how he handled the pandemic and look at the flocks of people who have left other states to move here.

Oh boy, so much of a Karen they named you twice.

Now I'm really scared!!!!

you sound very bitter. But if it makes you feel good to attack a someone you don’t know (or anyone with a different political view) then that’s pretty sad. We can have a difference of opinion but facts are facts. Have a great day petrified expat!

I will watch Fox for latest dose of fax!

You can search any news channel you like for numbers of people leaving blue states for Florida and that Florida was the fastest growing state last year. That’s not opinion my dear.

OP, please consider the above lunacy as a prime reason why FL in the long term (outside of a great weekend or two vacation), may not be the best idea.

karenkaren1

you call my posts lunacy. Ok I’m happy to give you a chance to have a credible and educated argument. Please explain where I am wrong re Florida being the fastest growing state with the most booming economy since the Pandemic. If you can manage it, try and respond factually without any personal insults.

It is a ridiculous oversimplification to describe US states as “blue states” or “red states.” All states are a blend, somewhere on the continuum, of those two political tendencies, red vs. blue. (I imagine plenty of people from so-called “red states” relocate to Florida. )

PetrifiedExPat

Too many fax for me!

Good luck OP!

karenkaren1

just as I thought. You have attacked me but can’t even back up your own argument. Pathetic.

karenkaren1

you are indeed correct. I meant to say, states with a democratic governor have lost a huge amount of people to republican run Florida as a direct result of the political policies and resulting crime. I stand corrected.
