I’ve never heard a Floridian use the word “suburbs.” 😂😂😂 what the heck.

I'm moving here in a couple of weeks. 😊

Moved from WPB to Denver in 1976....best move ever.

Thinking about moving from Dallas to Ft Lauderdale your videos are helpful

This is why people leaving Florida Florida getting flooded by people that don’t belong here and they feel entitled to everything. It belongs to them because of the government free ride program and it’s getting too expensive to stay this is why I am leaving this godforsaken South Florida because of what is happening to it and when I mean getting out of South Florida this means getting completely the hell out of the United States because it’s become corrupt🤬

Yeah please leave that’s a good thing, I keep enjoying my paycheck with just paying Federal. Please go it’s brutal here go back north to NYC mayor Adams is waiting for you with open arms

I left back in 2005 and my net worth quadripled during that time! ❤

I've been in Florida since 1981. It's time for us to go. People here used to be very friendly, similar to where I came from in the Midwest. In recent years people moving here are arrogant and basically mean people. Go to Georgia or North Carolina and ask all those ex Floridians why they left and you'll get the same as stated above. We all got fed up with it and are moving to where people have respect for each other.

I moved to Palm Beach in 2021 from Washington DC. On most things I find living costs about the same, but apart from no state income tax (saving me 10,000 dollars a year) I find a number of things cheaper. For example, to get my teeth cleaned costs about130 dollars (300 in DC). My coop fee is about the same, but my building is much better and far more professionally run than in DC. Since my building is well maintained and has a healthy reserve I am not facing any assessments in the foreseeable future. I should add that I had a condo in Miami in the early 2000s and sold it because I found the people there vapid. Palm Beach is full of interesting, accomplished people (not all of them rich, although many of them are.) In Miami people used to complain about the "lack of culture"...what they really meant was the unsophisticated, uninteresting people. That i no problem in Palm Beach. So count me as a new arrival who has no plans to leave,ever.

South Florida is sinking. I've lived here my entire life..we had a regular storm three weeks ago in fort lauderdale. The water was at my knees and this wasn't near the beach.. it was in town. People are crazy if they consider buying down in south Florida

Left Ft Lauderdale in 2019 after 20 plus years living there. It was way too crowded, too hot, too expensive, too regulated, etc. Other than the beach, the landscape is boring and flat. It’s very overrated. It’s a nice state to visit for a beach or Disney vacation, but not to live in.

Came across your video today, which is August 30. I retired from the DC area and moved here in 2019 though I’ve not spent much time in the state as family reasons kept me in the DC area most of the last three years. I agree with all the points that you made. The thing that keeps me here….for now… is the lack of a state income tax and I bought my property in 2019 when it was really affordable. If I was faced with the exact same scenario today with increased mortgage interest rates, the fact that my house has doubled in his value, I probably would not move here today.

Parkland / Coral Springs is an excellent place to live and own property in Broward County / South Florida.

Homeowners insurance, flood insurance, windstorm insurance, and auto insurance are super expensive. Food is very expensive. Too many Yankee retirees move to southern states and then vote to turn their new state into the same liberal hellhole they left. Lots of arrogant rich people who enjoy making life miserable for other people. Low elevation plus high water table equals lots of flooding. Yankee retirees think that Florida is Miami Beach, Naples, Key West, and Orlando. The real Florida is Okeechobee, Clewiston, South Bay, and Moore Haven. Most of the state is rural with a Deep South culture, especially in the northern part. They get out of their gated and guarded development and they don’t like what they see. Roads were not built to handle the volume of traffic they must carry. Saltwater intrusion into the aquifer. Shall I go on?

A lot are moving to Tallahassee. The City is beautiful it has a low cost of living & it is a short drive to the Gulf Coast.

Florida sucks though

$630 for a starter home is insane . South Florida is unattainable and ridiculous

Because of the manors wilton's have

They leaving cuz they made BIG $

Get real. Florida is too expensive!

New York is streaming to Florida. Disney is dead. Forget it.

Florida is too expensive! And dangerous. And it's hotter than hell.

Climate change?

Bought 2 homes in Boca back in 2021. In one of them, the original owner ended up signing a 2 yr lease with us. When the lease was up, we told them we wouldn’t renew. So they retaliated by trashing the place. 😂 This was basically our “welcome to SEFL you west coast mofo” 🤣 But yeah… we moved here bc of involvement in pro sports. To be blunt: customer service is nonexistent down here. In general ppl are extremely rude, abrasive and lack courtesy. Of course I’ve met a few very nice and kind ppl but overall, it’s just rough around the edges. Concerning politics, FL is the exact and extreme opposite that of California. Traffic “laws” are just suggestions, school bus drivers doing 60 on the 45 (I have video to prove it) cars with duct taped bumpers all over the road, on and on. Coming from the west coast I traded extreme left for extreme right, homeless druggies for ego maniac rough necks lol. And yes, we are planning to get the rock outta here before my current IQ level hits sub room temp (aka total assimilation) Btw: my car insurance has gone up 3x since leaving the west coast. Home insurance 3x as well. Property taxes are low compared to what we used to pay so there’s that. 🤣 welcome to floriduhhhh ! 😂

I find Fort Lauderdale very honky tonk. Miami is a world class city and much more upscale in general. I don't think traffic really matters because you never really have to leave if you live in Miami Beach or Brickel. You can walk everywhere.

We need another million move out to many people

I still prefer Hallandale Beach Florida more it’s a beautiful city with a growing communities and businesses and a good nightlife.❤

My home town! Hollywood is called "The Diamond of the Gold Coast." I grew up in the Lakes District - one of the most attractive residential in all of South Florida.

But in Miami you don’t have to drive north thru Ft. Lauderdale to get to Naples you can head west on 8st that becomes tamiami and then turn right n go north straight to Naples fl with no problem without ever driving thru Ft. Lauderdale so that’s cap

I was born and raised in Miami. Lived in S. Florida for 42 years before moving to Chicago where I lived and loved it for another 23 years. Now retired in Southern Arizona (25 miles south of Tucson). Bought a lovely 2 bedroom, adobe style home very reasonable price with low taxes. I do pay a state income tax but it isn't much, and much lower than Illinois. The big thing everyone asks is how do we live in the desert? Let me tell you, 113 degrees with humanity at 13% is a lot less uncomfortable than 89 degrees with 80% humidity in S Florida. I still own some property in Florida but I'll leave it to my daughter, I'm never coming back.

TOO TOO TOO, CROWDED…. AND WAIT FOR IT…. CROWDED… 😂

Its really quite simple and nothing new. Florida has always been one of the most corrupt and mismanaged states in the union. The last ten years thats accelerated exponentially. Cost of living has risen faster in Florida than any other state. 90% self inflicted. Politicians want to blame the feds, hurricanes, immigrants, and a dozen other bullshit reasons. Dont believe it. Florida legislators did it to its residents.

500k is nothing another 3 million need to leave to not be insanely overpopulated!

Sorry folks, south Florida is full. Maybe go try South Carolina or Texas.

People moving down from up north. People moving out due to working at home and moving back to where family is. Leaving south florida due to cost of living. Real simple. Don't need over 10 minutes to explain that.

You forgot to mention the guns! You are afraid to go to public places, you never know who is carrying a gun. I hope Florida restrict the hand guns and make Florida more hospitable.

This is misleading.. while many do leave FL, it still ranks as the most migrated to (net migration) state in the country. The benefits of living in FL far outweigh the cons, especially when you compare it to the chaos and conflicts going on in many of the other major states. FL is relatively conservativ which essentially protects everyone's rights, it's clean, tranquil, serene fun and beautiful. It has a Caribbean metro hybrid lifestyle that offers the best of 3 worlds from country living filled with natures playgrounds to city like world class entertainment and venues that rival Manhattan, Los Angeles and Vegas to world class beaches and the salt life . It's not for everyone and it is a bit expensive now, but it's still cheaper than most major cities and you get ac gen off a lot more for your money. Has it changed over the last 10 years? Definitely, but so has every other state in this country... and while FL got better, the other states declined in quality of life. I recently spent a few months back up north in NY, NJ and CT and despite having been born and raised in NY, I found it changed drastically and I hated it up there. The culture, politics, rat race, general rudeness, crime, filth, traffic, pothole filled roads, congestion, illegal immigration issues, high gas prices, gentrification, extreme cost of living and strict gun laws that essentially disarms law abiding citizens and empowers illegal gun toting criminals.. It was just terrible. Even going to the supermarket was frustrating.. no bags? Deposit upcharge for bottled water? Over priced everything. The only thing i loved there was downtown Manhattan and the food and even that isn't as good as it used to be and it's insanely expensive. On top of tolls to enter the state, they now charge you a fee to enter downtown Manhattan where parking is super expensive if you can find any and they closed out parking lanes to accommodate bike and scooter riders who barrel down these lanes as if they own the streets and God forbid you try to cross the street and don't look both ways in a one way street because they'll run you over and then blame you for getting in their way. Good luck driving in the city and not getting a ticket thanks to their over aggressive cameras. Yeah I'm sorry but they can keep all that... I'll stick with my beautiful and serene Florida. southfloridaagentmagazine.com/2024/01/31/florida-no-1-for-migration/#:~:text=According%20to%20StorageCafe%2C%20Florida%20saw,Florida%2C%20while%20497%2C000%20people%20left.

FLORIDA...has been polluted by northerners...

People like you moving down to florida, and driving up the cost of living. Now I can't afford to live in a state that I love dearly because of the cost of living.

I grew up in East Wilton Manor & was a RE agent at Coldwell Banker on Las Olas. Great video but I’m kind of surprised that you didn’t mention Harbor Beach, where I lived for years. Great neighborhood! Thanks so much!🥰

Florida's are protective of our political status. Why come here if you want to change it. We like it here and how the state is ran.

Eventually the whole Florida hype is going to crash. It is like a volcano waiting to explore.

We need help....please

That's not a rat. You're talking about possums.

CUTE EYES!

🌴😄Love Florida and I’m sold old when I fart dust comes out, been here over half my life , moved from that frigid dairy state that gets down to minus-30 below , screw that ! Now your say’n all these people that thought the grass and palm trees were greener here are finding out that all the idiots that are moving here is what’s wrecking the state , they drive like idiots, there flicking people off , they get in accidents cause there to busy texting and talk’n on the cellphone, they throw garbage out the car windows , for all those people leaving, see ya! I can maybe find a parking spot !

I lived in Miami and Miami Springs back in the mid 70s and it was crowded then. That was right before the Marial boatlift exodus from Cuba that took place in 1980 which swelled Miami's Cuban population. Most people probably have not even heard or read about that event.

Coming from Michigan should i come here or santa barbara
