Sabo 448 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 I lived in Tampa Bay for 5 years when I was younger (Father was in the military and he got stationed to MacDill). Been to Orlando, Miami, Tallahassee, Jacksonville and Panama City when we'd go on trips/vacations. Florida is alright because there's a lot of shit to do so you can't really get bored. I don't know if I could live there long term though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if I could live there long term though. I’ve been here my whole life. Eventually, I want to move to a northern state. I hate not having real seasons. Also, the traffic is terrible in the big cities (I’m looking at you, Miami!) but yeah, there is a lot to do and the characters here are diverse af, for better/worse.

Well, you got wild Miami/Ft.Lauderdale parties, amazing beaches, awesome boating communities, top tier restaurants, gators, iguanas, seeing “florida man” in action, diverse culture, crazy rednecks (some are “florida man”), big pickup trucks everywhere (except for South Florida), gangs (northwest Miami-Dade is no joke!), theme parks, crazy religious communities, rich suburban swingers, fetish parties….a lot! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Sauce 2,747 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I don't understand people who go to retire in Arizona over Florida. Florida summers suck ass, but I'd still take that over living in boring ass Arizona. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are the houses insured for hurricane damage or are most people fucked when it gets damaged beyond repair? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a mortgage, yes. If not, you don’t need insurance (unless HOA bylaws require it), but you are an idiot if you don’t have insurance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
