If you love fascism, hurricanes, out of control rising insurance rates, humidity, Pudding Fingers, and Benedict DonOLD Florida is the place for you. No wonder Gracie says he loves it there.
Need to build a wall around Florida and make Pudding Fingers and Gracie pay for it.

Don't forget forced birth and a shrinking number of OBGYNs. But fortunately FL has a chance to right the ship. They will overwhelmingly vote in favor of choice and hopefully Dems all the way down the ballot, because old white men passing legislation putting themselves in exam rooms with women and their doctors is just weird and creepy.

I love Florida. NO SNOW!
Except once, in Miami, on January 19, 1977, Mother Nature turned the tricks on us.
It was just a little flurry, but it made the headlines in the newspapers that day. I still have my copy. Laminated.

Florida is Biodiverse. The most Biodiverse in the East.
Other than that, it's a Sh**hole.

whutevahhhhh... too flat for me... I like being near mountains, valleys, hills, and dales... where the formations that rise in the air are born from the earth itself rather than the relative "termite mounds" created by our species.
My visits to FL occur years apart... I am always quite literally stunned by how it changes from one visit to the next... people dragging concrete and steel from places outside the state and stacking it up tall on the sandbar. It's like the New Yorkers who wanted to escape New York forgot to leave it behind.

TWINPAC Actual overheard just pre-Covid conversation at FL Universal park between a pair of dads, each pushing a kid in a pram, mulling around, probably waiting for the ladies to arrive on the scene. "They got a velociraptor over there," one said casually to the other. "No ----? A velociraptor? For real? Maybe we should go, take a look, eh?" His buddy thought that over and replied lazily (he was a master), "Naw, it's just a little one." "Yeah, " the friend replied, convinced, "you're probably right."

#12 Many of the New Yorkers I've encountered in FL remain loudly, obnoxiously provincial Noo Yawkahs.

Only between post-Thanksgiving (November) and pre-summer (April). That's when the snowbirds go back home.

Exactly, TWINPAC. Check out when the schools in South America have their summer break - starts in December and runs into February-March - and away you go. Great weather, fewer people, and the SA students as a group were having a good time and fun to be around. Maybe, perhaps, that's when they poke the bigger velociraptors out from their dens and put them on view?

Good to know.
I'll check my calendar the next time I catch one taking a morning sun bath on the hood of my car.

Former FL resident. Sky-high insurance for house and car; giant roaches, love bugs, fire ants, spiders, alligators...everywhere. 90%+ humidity 9-10 months a year and 90 degrees+ temperature a year. Frequent hurricanes. A thunderstorm almost every day April through October. Corrupt government throughout the state level. Geography flat and completely uninteresting. No culture at all (unless you count either "beach culture" or golfing as culture, I do not). Mediocre education system and now, thanks to governor DeSatan, worse than ever.
This is a crap article.

"I love Florida. NO SNOW!"
There is no snow where I live on the Lost Coast of California.
And as a bonus I get to live behind the protection of the Blue Wall if/when the country devolves into a civil war.
Also no hurricanes.
Also no DeSantis running around in go-go boots.

I do not disagree.
But then I have to ask, why do you seem to disagree with those "brightest" members so frequently?

I love Florida. I just hate the large majority of the folks who live here.
