Would you like to live in or travel to Florida?

[bowrunner]

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.

[monnee]

Yes, I would travel and visit there.

[KURUP]

NO

       I love Florida! But if bad weather is an issue, when is the best time to visit Florida?

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. :-)

Travel? Yes (I go to Miami yearly.)  Live there?  No.  Weather is too temper mental.

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 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.   

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'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.
