I'm doing pretty decent here in Florida, you apparently didn't as well as if you ask a homeless person on the street, because of their own experience. If people are moving in droves is for a reason . If people flee from a place is for a reason. Florida grew more than any state. Are they all masochists. I highly doubt it. Are they all rich? I doubt it even more.

      @@robertofernandez7773 They're mostly from NY, and they make Florida a nearly unbearable place to live...yes there are homeless in all places, but we aren't discussing them. The NYers and other noreasters have more money than the locals, and they remind the locals all the time. NYers bring their trust funds and start businesses and put the locals, who don't have mommy/daddy trusts, out of business. This doesn't happen in other States. They dominate all the services, and purposely push the locals out. Florida is simply a 6th borough of NY. Native Floridians are considered 2nd class citizens. When I go back to Florida, I say that I'm from somewhere else, because the transplants will judge me as "low rent" if I claim to be a native. Again, this doesn't happen in other States. Florida is a great place, then you encounter an overbearing NY transplant, and then you want to puke and leave.

    I grew up in Boynton Beach and lived in Florida till 2004. The problems I've always had with Florida was the economy. The tourism, retail and agricultural sectors are low paying and in the Palm Beaches, there is really no chance of being able to find good/high paying jobs unless you own your own business or are a doctor or lawyer. The fact that more companies are moving to the Miami area is a glimmer of hope for some better paying jobs that help make Florida's economy more self-reliant.

    It’s so sad that people don’t think before they speak. AZ & FL are the top retirement states but more people move to FL because it’s more affordable than AZ, and doesn’t have scorching temps all summer. It has a moderate semi-tropical climate with constant breezes from the Atlantic (east), Gulf (west), Caribbean (south), or coming down from the continent (north). Most of those who move here are looking for better employment than where they were as the state has a $15/hr minimum wage. But most who move out are doing so because their job is transferring them and not because they want to go.
    The state is heavily dependent on Tourism, but that is usually a good thing because no matter what the economy in the nation, FL has a good economy because then it receives more tourists from overseas where the economy is great!
    Its the most friendly state toward latinos especially as 75% of the state speaks Spanish while only 65% speaks English. It’s a very migrant friendly state but anti-illegal immigration which the immigrants who live here appreciate and made them turn the state Red.
    It’s conservative yet quite open and progressive on so many fronts. Personally speaking, it’s a very LGBT friendly state, despite what the liberal media would like you to believe. It also is very pro-women and female owned business. It’s very sensitive to the handicapped and disabled and creating infrastructure to accommodate people with special needs. While they have room for improvement, it’s much better than MI, CA, NY & TX where I have also lived and struggled as a disabled person.
    I’ve lived in Orlando for the past dozen years and this is the best place I’ve lived in my life! No place is perfect. I loved living in Hawaii but pay was worse than here and 4x as expensive to live there. Los Angeles had a similar weather but it was always dry and you couldn’t drink the water it breathe the air. San Francisco was just disgustingly dirty even in the tourist areas that they at least attempted to clean. Seattle was every mean girl’s destination of choice and the weather was worse than London, England. Portland was trashier than SF but they took pride in it and called it bougie chic! It was scary eating in any of the restaurants there because they were grimy dirty everywhere! New York always smelled of human feces and urine, unless you lived up state where life is primitive and backwards. Nice to visit for a weekend but would never want to live there again. Detroit is the dirty side of Michigan and unemployment there is so depressing. The west side of the state is much more livable and clean but the people are not friendly and the cold weather would send a polar bear running away. When you measure snow fall in feet not inches, it’s bad! Chicago! OMG! Talk about a city that isn’t walkable. Crime is horrible even in the affluent neighborhoods. Political graft and corruption was invented in Chicago. You can’t get any kind of permits for anything without bribing someone. Their elevated train system is falling apart and a death trap that no one talks about and the news never reports all the people that die on it every year. St.Louis has a pretty Zoo but that’s the only thing going for it. High unemployment, high taxes, high prices on everything, high crime, and if the wind is coming from the east the stench from the petroleum refineries will make you nauseous and give you a headache. So I’ll take the occasional hurricane in Florida. The rains here keep things cooler and green. Yes you need to have a water filter for drinking water but so does every other place I’ve lived.

      As a working couple, our quality of life was superior in our NJ suburb, than Florida. We made more money there, had great public schools, transportation infrastructure an many other advantages. However, as retirees, Florida is more affordable, has a lot to offer people our age. I mostly agree with the video. A lot of young working people are wisely moving to other parts of the south. My main personal complaint about Florida is, there seems to be a lot of crime. There are a lot of sketchy areas in Dade and Broward Counties. We definitely felt safer in NJ. No place is perfect.

    I was born, raised, educated, and lived off and on in Florida most of my life-college in Gainesville, Brevard, and in Miami. I have worked 3 different corporate headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale.
    I have lived and worked in the north-NYC, New Hampshire, the northwest-Seattle, WA; in France when I was young, and recently in Spain for four years.
    I have been to 46 states, four continents, 26 countries; and as stated-I have lived in three countries.
    My point is that there is so much opportunity to make big money in Florida and I have always lived in nice areas for a fraction of what I have paid in NYC, France, and Seattle.
    Anyone who tells you that you do not have greater opportunities for a much better way of life in Florida is mentally deranged or has some type of "Eyore Syndrome" (Winnie the Pooh).
    Florida-"The Land of Flowers" is the MOST BEAUTIFUL STATE in the continental USA!!!
    I have not found a better life anywhere else!
    It is filled with economic opportunities and offers one of the best places to live, work, raise a family-and a wonderful place to retire.
