      Yea i heard from critikal that everything in miami is expensive. Saw a video of his that was explaining that a cocktail cost like 20$. that's ridiculous for sure. I bet its to scam tourists which i cant blame them because there usually the spring breakers type who come from all over the country to trash stuff and party. And that's exactly why i hate tourists.

    • @richardcline1337
      @richardcline1337 Před 2 lety

      Having Spring Break gone forever would be the greatest thing to ever happen to Panama City but Panama City Beach is such a greedy, mindless septic tank now that it'll never happen. Add that to the 100 Miler's that come down, mainly from Alabama, and bring their guns to prey on Spring Breakers and tourists and this part of the state is just not worth much anymore. I grew up in Panama City and I can remember when you could actually drive down front beach road and SEE the beach. Then the developers moved in with their high rise condos and concrete and that's all gone for good. I refuse to even think about going back across the Hathaway bridge anymore. NOTHING in that greedy tourist trap sewage pit makes me want to go out there.

    From Valley Forge, PA. Moved to FL at 14. 33 yrs I lived in FL. The landscape, underground springs, Gulf of Mexico all fantastic. No other place in the US like it. Winter time and FL is the only state that's above freezing. Houses were inexpensive. Small business ownership opportunities all over. Now? Forget it. It's turned into CA. It's great if you have money. Florida loves it's citizens money. They're pretty creative in the way it's extorted from their citizens although most states do so. It's bad all over.
    Can't beat Florida weather and the landscape. Beautiful place.

    IF you live in Parkland and feel the need to consider it a "north Miami suburb" it cannot possible be top 10 because, on a good day, you are a solid 90 minutes from Miami. Its on the Broward-Palm Beach line and up against the development boundary.

    I'm surprised. Best places to live are in the southeast and northwest corners of the state? Nothing in central Florida (Orlando and Gainesville areas)? Nothing in northeast Florida (Jacksonville area)?

    Nick - Just watched rest of your video & you produce pretty good stuff...thanks much!! One thing forgotten about FLA in general is there's a shipload of old people here just dyin' to leave making properties constantly available at prices you wouldn't believe for cash! Property taxes also low versus up North for sure! Heating/cooling costs about 30% of Michigan. Homes, businesses, & vehicles air conditioned, so if you can make the hobble in between each you can withstand the heat. Police won't kill you just for practice down here either versus up North! Just take this info for what it's worth as I might be a bit out of touch. Grandfather was Henry Ford's first assistant in 1901, plus to me Harry Truman President of USA year I shot 1st game animal & not that old insane dude giving Mt. St. Helens the finger while it blew him and his lodge to oblivion. I may be kinda old, but the above is how we found things here when retired 10 yrs ago!

    The reason this list skews so heavily toward Miami is because that's where all the New Yorkers go and they have disproportionate amounts of wealth compared to the rest of the country. They can pay for the best education and price out anyone who would commit crimes from living anywhere near them.

    I've lived in Orlando all my life and this list has changed drastically! Almost every place you mentioned gets hit by mother nature the worst. Homestead was completely wiped out. My in-laws live in Naples and it's the most boring place ever. There's nothing to do after dark. Not including the fact that 60% of NY and California are all now moving here. My husband just retired last week 32 YRS law enforcement and we're living on prison grounds. We have 30 days to move but are being forced to move out of Florida away from all our friends and family because there's no property inventory left😥ya I wouldn't plan to move here if I were you.🙏💖🍀
