You forgot to mention the surge of illegals in the state.
I hate the traffic ...also hate the humidity and the cost of housing..the difference between today and 10 years ago is amazing.
Thanks for sharing your story about what it’s like to live in Florida. Truly appreciate you taking the time to comment and to watch. We’ll see you in the next video.
Humidity is about the same as it was back then, tho.
@@tomfields3682You have a good point but after awhile the heat and humidity is a nightmare
@@lizhoward9754 Yeah, what I meant was, heat and humidity was horrible 20 years ago and it's horrible now. It's one of the few things that HASN'T changed in FL!🥵 Many Northerners are caught off guard because it's pleasant in the winter when they visit, but when they move there and find out what the other 9 months are like there they realize their mistake.
@@tomfields3682 maybe... or maybe not. Ecosystems change, so do the weather in them. I don't believe that after growing urbanization and human impact the weather (and flora, which has great impact on weather) is the same as before.
I have been here for 8 years now. I feel the inflation and traffic is crazy depending where you are. But for the most part, I am very happy here. The whole world has become challenging to live in. Why should Florida be exempt. Hope you find a perfect place if you are looking to move. As for me Florida is home.
I live in Alaska and when I moved here 45 years ago there were only 17,000 people in our borough which is the size of Connecticut. Now there’s about 120,000 people. Crime and traffic are now a problem.
Your homeowners insurance hasn't gone up? Or your property taxes?
Agreed
I am a native floridian. I've never wanted to leave. The weather does not bother me at all. I hate to be cold. Anything below 50 dehrees, I start getting cranky. I must say that I may have to leave my beautiful state due to cost of living. I recently changed my homeowners insurance due to my premium tripling in price from 3k to 9k. Currently policy is now under 3k. Property taxes going up. Car insurance is ridiculous. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, now live in Stuart. Im looking at Myrtle Beach or TN. I'll need a good heater!
I’m right there with you. I prefer to be too hot rather than too cold. I’m also a native Floridian.
You will definitely need a good heater up there!
California will welcome you with open arms.
Unfortunately Tennessee has had such an influx of people move here, it's becoming like Florida. Housing prices has doubled even tripled. Property taxes keep rising along with insurance and the traffic is so so congested now. So, you just trying to escape the same thing that's happening in tn
No snow-- ever! 😎
I grew up in Miami from 1961 until I moved away in 1986, when my husband got stationed in New Orleans with the Coast Guard. He always wanted to retire to the Naples or Sarasota area. I was two years away from retirement and we were planning to sell our house here in Georgia and make the move to Florida. Eddie died very suddenly and unexpectedly in 2021, so I decided to stay here in my paid off home. I think I narrowly escaped making a very bad decision. I enjoy the lifestyle and climate in North Georgia.
Such a sad story, just devastating! As a new retiree, I’m so sorry for your loss!
@@judith3774 Thank you. We were married for 41 years. I miss him every minute of every day!
It sounds like you made the right decision. Best wishes for the future.
I’m in Florida and hope to relocate to georiga
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
Hoping to sell the business and move. Almost a lifelong Floridian and I dream of leaving. The place sucks now and it's getting worse.
Thanks for sharing your story about what’s really going on in Florida. Truly appreciate you doing so and watching this video. See you in the next one.

@@flerbusyes and then a lot of the transplants get here and realize what a cluster fck this state truly is and then leave
@@Arginneyep, over my 36
Years here I have encountered many quick turnarounds
I firmly believe that Florida roads and intersections are prone to promoting car accidents and, therefore, lawsuits that favor local law firms and, consequently, substantial traffic fines that gradually fill county coffers
Many complain about super slow moving traffic mixed in with crazy high-speed driving. It is a true recipe for disaster. Thank you so much for making your comments here on this channel. I truly appreciate you watching and I’ll see you in the next video.
The lights are way too long and seemed to be times to catch them all during peak driving hours
I hate the traffic lights here. I feel like I spend more time waiting for the darn light to change!
Well you all have no state income tax so I assume that is why the only decent roads in Florida seem to be the Toll roads. You get what you pay for, in this case you get barely a road.
I salute the genius who starts their first flying car business in Florida for sure.
Florida is still crazily expensive for me, and my net worth is in the top 2%. I wonder how all Floridians manage to live there.
Thanks for watching and commenting here on this channel. Truly appreciate you doing so you’re absolutely right as a matter of fact, many are struggling to make ends meet living in Florida. See you in the next video.
IT'S NOT EASY BEING ME.
Family help. That’s the only way I survive. And when your family is toxic I feel so trapped. I’ll never be totally independent and free
Geez, what part of FL do you live in?
There are two types. The ones that came from family wealth. And the ones that are living on debt.
The ones trying to work there and carve out their life, aren't saving enough for retirement.
I moved out of Florida in June of 2022. I could never go back. If I did, a part of me inside would die.
Me too. Let’s not forget nasty people here
I've lived in Florida all my life and can't wait for the day to escape. Eight years to be exact when my son goes to college. It gets worse here every year and the weather is not what people anticipate it to be. It is either raining, extraordinarily humid, and hot at least eight 8 months out of the year. That leaves maybe three months of nice weather, ( if we are lucky.) It's also too expensive and a ton of crime. Look elsewhere for paradise, it is definitely not here
You are correct.
California
I’m looking forward to being there about 4 months a year. The rest of the year will be in Alaska.
What about Clearwater/SP/tam
Or Tallahassee and or PC
it's a lot cooler up north right
R u in s. FL
I was gonna wait for my son to get to college as well but it’s just getting so unbearable to even exist here it may be sooner. I do love the rain tho disagree with you there.
I lived in FL for 8 years and moved recently because of what you've mentioned. Everything you've listed is so true. Two more: #12 The constant drone of leaf blowers, and #13 No basements. A good dry basement is the perfect multi-purpose room with lots of space.
Omg yes, I thought it was just me but what is it with people and their leaf blowers here? It’s like a fetish. LOL
Ok but wtf is with all the leaf blowers?
@@jayson657idk but it is like never ending!
Lol, people leaving due to the heat??? Should you have known that heat can be an issue BEFORE you moved here?
@@kurt4032 at first the heat seems doable but after a couple years it gets old. Id didn’t mind the heat and humidity at first but after last summer I just can’t.
As a Floridian, I used to get really angry about videos like this. Right now, however, we are so overcrowded and so overpriced and so beyond capacity that I am perfectly happy with a few people being discouraged from moving here and others wanting to move out. I am in the insurance business in one of the major problems in the game is the density of homes and condos on and near the coast. It makes properties nearly uninsurable because of the concentration of risk, the exposure to litigation claims as well as the demands from consumers to have their home insurance policies cover absolutely everything from broken down appliances to leaky faucets. This is exacerbated by a lack of real capacity to provide insurance. Even charging maximum prices does not keep insurance company solving in Florida, nor does it attract additional insurance carriers to help spread the risk lower the premium and offer more choices. When I was born in 1960 they were 8 million people in Florida and now they were very near 23 million. It’s just very difficult to make a lot of things like insurance or finance or manufacturing or even now agriculture work here. We are strangling on all of the people that want to move here and we are out of capacity for housing, insurance, financial support, good, paying jobs, etc.
Why tf would you get “really angry”? I think this is the perfect demonstration of the level of unhinged people in Florida truly are. Valid criticism is important but people in Florida have no direction or inspiration to change and improve. Really a miserable bunch of people and I’ve grown up here and want to leave so bad! Us young folks see how their is no opportunities for the normal people and for growth in this h-ll hole. It’s a place full of charlatans and criminals.
The fact that you would get “really angry” is a perfect example of how rude and unhinged people in Florida are. No one is above criticism but Floridians refuse to progress
@@Arginne looking back at my comments and don’t see where I said really angry. Frustrated but that’s not the same thing. And I really try to never be rude.
@@Arginne dude shut up, all of yall were calling us crazy and that yall would never move to Florida. We don’t want to progress with you guys stop moving and bringing your BS here.
Homeowners Insurance has exploded in the past few years. I think one yearvit jumped 63%, but from about 2013 to 2021 it only increased a little a year. Once it even went down a tiny bit.
I haven't noticed an issue seeing doctors, and a few years ago my mother had a complicated illness that required a bunch of specialists and getting appointments wasn't hard.
Just had new neighbors move in, native Floridans. In a brief talk about their reasoning, rising insurance (home and auto) and property taxes. They are building new here in TN, they wanted to avoid higher taxes e.g. income, vehicle registration etc. I hope they are happy here
It’s happening many Florida residents just can’t afford it any longer. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment here on this channel. Truly appreciate you doing so.
Bet they leave after a few winters
We natives love WARM weather and 🌞
@@WendyHardy-wo6gl my guess is they will not like the winter, but enjoy the summer more. Plus they are building in the mountains, well hills, and mountain people typically love the mountains with a passion borders on obsession. I told them my dream was to live in Florida, guess I'll stay here and vacation there.
Income tax? I thought FL doesn't have income tax.
@@tomfields3682 he moved to TN to avoid income tax in AL, and GA
I love that you and people are hating Florida 😂
I want my 80s Florida back!
Please please leave
Good points 😎
Moving there this month!! 😊
Good move!😎
80s fl is long gone
Irresponsible development without the infrastructure in place. It is unbelievable how quickly every parcel of land is being destroyed. You mentioned this in your video and believe me when I tell you it is creating lots of problems already. Ready to go after living here for eighteen years! Great video…thank you.
I am from Florida,....Born there ,grew up there, raised my family there. I have seen a lot of changes in my time there,not many of them in my opinion being good.....Retired from my job of 46 years in December, I moved to rural Georgia at the end of February. I could no longer take the ridiculous traffic and road rage, the overcrowding everywhere you look and went, the rude and obnoxious people moving there who dont give a damn about the local people and want to make Florida just like wherever it was they are from.
The cost of living has gotten to the point that you can`t afford to live there anymore, cost of insurance,rent/mortgage, goods and services, ect......Left in February and havent looked back, the Florida that I knew and loved is long gone, destroyed by outside interests and rude people.
You forgot to mentioned the 'free kill' law in Florida..
Unfortunately, you have many people leaving their state because they cannot afford to live there any longer, or they don’t like the way their state is being run. That in turn is affecting the new state they are moving too. Where can you go without being inflation being a factor? Very sad.
Very true inflation is affecting all of us every single day everywhere in the nation, but there are some places that are better than others. Thanks for watching and commenting. See you in the next video.

Florida has been destroyed by flippers and investors. Many homes have been traded 2-3 times since 2021.
Values are 100-400 percent higher vs the start of 2021.
This does not include the higher than ever before tax and insurance rates.
Thank all the flippers and investors who are playing hot potato with homes that were build for families.

Well said!!
Home prices are up everywhere, not just Florida
@@flerbus Pretty sure everyone is aware. Cool Snapple fact for you: St Pete FL, had the third highest rent increase in the entire country. Not just in Florida, in the whole Nation. Investors bought up EVERYTHING, including single family homes.
Florida is the state of diminishing returns. It gets to the point where it's just not worth it. Glad i left years ago.
Exactly!!!
This video woke me up 4 in the morning. Thank you for posting. I have 3 properties in CA is also expensive. Staying is tough. Leaving to make other place your home is also tough. Sooner or later we will leave this planet. Say a prayer all will be well with all the children we will leave behind.
Thanks for saving me some money, I am retired and almost suckered myself to move to Florida I love the coast but would have to live on the beach and now I can see the best place to live is Indiana and visit Florida for a month and head back to a paid for home and everything else.
Thanks for taking your time to watch this video. You’re right Florida is a great place to visit but if you’re buying a house or condo in Florida, things have changed. Thanks for commenting. See you in the next video.
Could always go to Indiana Beach instead 😅
What part of Indiana?
You are a wise man….Florida may be a nice place to visit but you don’t want to live here.

Excellent advice. In my adult life (I am 67), I have seen Florida’s real estate rise and fall three times. It is on its way down again so get out while you can because once it crashes you won’t be able to unload it. The difference this time around is that the rising severity and number of storms will prevent it from bouncing back

I am currently living in Myrtle Beach and I am ready to move. But for me it is different than most people and I understand that and respect thier view. For me I hate the winter here because I am an avide scuba diver and have to spend half of my year in Florida just to find warmer water to dive in. Plus I am not a fan of the winter here in SC. I have lived here my entire life and I am ready to get to year around warmth. Additionaly, wherr I am moving to in Florida is only 80 miles from the Bahamas and I am looking forward to taking my boat over several times a year and scuba diving in Paradise as much as I can while I am young. My reasons are different than most but Florida here I come.
True I feel if you’re actually gonna utilize the beach and water sports it is worth it. But otherwise mostly no. People come here expecting a utopia when it’s quite a dumpster fire really
Where in Florida are you moving to?
@@reloagentlipps Fort Pierce, Vero Beach area.
Good move--😎!
dont tell New York transplant Floridians that, most defend their decision about retiring in Florida and talk about growth to accommodate the influx of people because everyone wants to be there. I have absolutely no desire to retire there anymore. Sounds like Long Island with palm trees.
Yeah, but no Hochel in Florida, so that's a big plus.
lol, thanks for watching and sharing your story here on this channel truly appreciate you doing so I’ll see you in the next video
@@s99614 true but I am not going to make a lateral move just because of Hochul.
I know of two NYers who regret their decision to retire in Florida.
The next 20 years the 5 year population groups from 40 to 59 are less than the 60-65 age group now. The senior population will go down as people die off.
8:16 - you bring up a very, very good point about self-insuring. Even if you can walk away from your storm damaged home, you would have to pay for the clean up. I have heard clean up bills are very high
Jerry two thumbs up for the very informative video!
👍👍👍 I’m gonna give you three thumbs up for taking the time to watch this video and to comment here on this channel. I truly appreciate you doing so and I’ll see you in the next video.
7:35 and the insurance says you need a new roof every 10 years. In the mid-west we never replaced our roof.
True, but only if you have home insurance.
Florida insurance has gotten just a little bit out of control for many. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment here on this channel and watch this video. I truly appreciate you doing so and I’ll see you in the next one.
@@s99614 you did see the part about not having insurance in this video?. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Truly appreciate you doing so.
Seriously? You have never had to replace your roof in the Midwest? Where in the Midwest?
@@lizhoward9754 Michigan
They need to go back to California and NY
Carolinan here...Them New Yorkers stay moving to the south and now jacked up our prices..because it's too pricey in there state
@@AvenueI77shit isn’t fair how they can sell a raggedy ass house up Keith for $700k, come down south and buy one cash and still have a few hundred thousand left in the bank, and we have to compete with that bullshit
Yes. Go back.
All of the bad things you mentioned are even worse in Colorado. Instead of hurricanes we get tennis ball size hail multiple times a year and tornadoes which makes insurance insanely expensive. Traffic is far worse than Florida. Homes and property taxes double Florida.
The heat and traffic will kill your good vibe.
I visited Peru a couple of years ago and ever since then i keep wondering why would anyone retire in Florida, instead of Peru.
The key is moving into new code built home. That is what I am doing. Insurance is only 1200 a year on a new home.
In Florida you have RE tax portability. Meaning I will only pay 1500 a year on my new home as opposed to 8000 RE taxes.
Agreed. Thats what I did. Am actually paying less than I did in Michigan. Plus, the home is so efficient that my electric bill is sometimes as low as $75 a month compared to $300 or more up north with electric & gas. I got tired of 7-8 months of crap weather in Michigan. Will never go back.
I live in FL because I like living in the swamps and wrasslin' gators.
I’m very happy with this type videos and people are awesome 👏 here to share opinions because I know many things are different right now and it’s hard everywhere but I’m CT and definitely for me I want to move South just because I love the ideia to enjoy the lifestyle, so Florida was my first option but after travel 🧳 a lot to different places in Florida and couple places in Carolinas for me I will be happy whatever place if are SC or NC 😅I love FL and if a have to move to FL it’s fine but definitely truly believe SC gonna be the future for long term projects! Good luck everyone and God bless you 🙌🏻
Florida started getting crowded 40 years ago. I used to fish and dive there. By 2000, ramps were crowded, trucks were broken into. Overfishing and inconsiderate boaters took the fun out of it. Gunshots at night. I left, not sorry I did
I can’t believe anyone would want to live with the alligators, bugs and humidity. Some poor homeless woman was eaten by a 14 ft. alligator recently. They aren’t killed until they eat someone or someone’s pet.

No one in there right mind goes swimming in the everglades.
Yes, it happens, but it’s more rare that it seems and alligators are easily avoided. I’m always looking for them in my neighborhood and barely see them, and when I do, they start fleeing as they see me. You have much more chances of being attacked by a bear in California than being attacked by an alligator in Florida.

Curious about reasons people want to leave Florida. It's important to weigh pros and cons before moving anywhere.
I want to leave Florida
I hear ya! Thanks for taking the time to watch this video and to share your comments with others here on this channel. See you in the next video.
GOODBYE
do you think it's a good idea to move/live there?
@@uhhhhhhii NO! I left in 2022 and would NEVER go back to Florida.
@uhhhhhhii I moved down to Florida 2016 it was great. Now traffic, the property taxes, electricity,vwater, and gas bills have gone up. Anyone living on a fixed income should not move to Florida. Home insurance is crazy I live in Central florida and I have to pay flood and hurricane and I do not live near the coast line.
Great video! Definitely are the factors that drive people in & out. I would say from 2016 forward it’s gone down hill.
During covid, soooo many people bought houses due to incredibly low interest rates & remote jobs. They recently built 2 new elementary schools this year and one last year.
I’m from Kissimmee and there is constant building. Literally in any area they can fit it in. 192 Eastbound towards Melbourne was mainly all open land and now slowly but surely it’s filling up.
Home prices are all time high currently for a crap house. A 100K house is now 400K.
The traffic is definitely insane now. Sometimes I have to wait 3 times for a specific light.
The climate of Florida is actually much! worse than described: It's so hot and humid 90% of the time (all months of the year to include February!), you can't enjoy the outdoors even at 6am because of the extreme heat, humidity and bugs. At the time I left this comment, the temperature was mild at 4am, but the mosquitoes were attacking me and the noise of too many people was disturbing (beeping noises, traffic, etc.).
ALL LIES. I WAS JUST THERE. IT WAS GORGEOUS!!!
I work in the emergency room, we have so many patients walk into our ER because patients are unable to get an appointment with the specialty they’re supposed to see (OB/GYN, urology, PCP, etc). They get appointments many weeks in advance and would rather come to ER pay more, than wait few weeks. One way we’re over populated. Also, speaking for Orlando area, our public transport system is horrible. Brightline trip one way from Orlando to Miami costs more than an airplane ticket from Orlando to Miami, there are no trains, and buses are horrible. Traffic has def increased. How is Philadelphia over $100,000 cheaper for median home price than Orlando when in Philadelphia you get paid way more ! 😅
Yea and Philly has jobs and public transport
Been here 5 yrs and moving up to NC for all the reasons mentioned in this video.
I was thinking about moving to Florida, but the price of housing is ridiculous.
Prices have gone up on everything in Florida. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. We truly appreciate you doing so see you in the next video.
It definitely hasn't made things easy down here.
We moved to West Palm in 1965 from Pa. it was paradise beat living next to the Steel Mill. Now live in rural Georgia.
But 300,000 people moved to Florida in 2023, 2nd highest after Texas. SC was 4th.
Within a couple years about half of those will get disgusted and leave.
@@jayson657😂
Once people get here they realize what a hard place this is to live after some years unless you’re rich! This place was designed for cars and corporations not people
Insurance problems and cost, window replacement cost, auto insurance, a/c replacement cost....and those are just the basics. Critters are no problem. They have always been here. You don't move to the subtropics and expect no bugs or snakes.

My wife and I visited Florida many years ago but stayed in our home state where we were born. Made a trip about 38 months ago because my family moved to Cape Coral, Florida and we visited to see what all the excitement was about the area. Lone and behold we were flabbergasted! Cape Coral boasts year-round boating and fishing, how lovely we thought. There are canals that you can take your boat and go out sailing in the Gulf. It all looks lovely, but the area smells pungent. It's low lying and there isn't many trees and flat as a pancake! We were thinking about those nasty hurricanes and when I researched Cape Coral during a hurricane found out it was the hardest hit with massive high winds and flooding. We quickly came to the realization and a decision never to move to Florida. As of one year today, my family that moved to Cape Coral is looking to sell quickly and move to Tennessee or North Carolina because of many factors about the area and the state. When they saw their home insurance bill of $15,959 for an 1,800 sq. ft. home, they nearly had a heart attack! Up went the For Sale sign. They aren't having a difficult time selling because so many interested buyers were looking and there was a bidding war going on with three interested buyers. I thought OMG I hope they know what they are in for. Hopefully, they should be out of the state of Florida by the end of May 2024, if everything goes well with the buyers securing a mortgage.
It would be interesting see a list of 10 reasons ARE moving to Florida. I currently live in Maine without intention to retire in Florida but the list would be very interesting.
No snow.

Number 9 is so true. That's the number one reason not to live in Florida and why I'm in California. Too much hate involved in Florida politics.
I couldn't wait to get back to California after a long visit to Florida. I'm a conservative too!
Is the northern Panhandle of Florida any better? Do people move up there instead? What about North Carolina??
I have a lot of super helpful videos here on this channel that would probably answer many of those questions. Here’s one of them. ruclips.net/video/3BSNSs3ZGS0/видео.htmlsi=sdctiOHQiU6QDXiz
@@JerryPinkas Thanks. I saw that video before, I just mentioned North Carolina and the panhandle of Florida as the alternatives in the context of this video where you described the Cons of living in "Florida". I thought it might be interesting to hear how the panhandle fits into the picture of the 11 negatives. Then I just threw in North Carolina as where Floridians might be moving to as well.
@dovygoodguy1296 If you mean the panhandle (like Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, aka 30A) it is very crowded and more expensive than a lot of FL. HUGE weekly rental area … there are nice spots along the panhandle but you have to deal with the spring breakers, vacationers from March thru August and high prices for everything.
@@CSTheLight I mean the northern panhandle, Jacksonville, up to Georgia, Alabama, etc
@@dovygoodguy1296Jacksonville isn’t the panhandle.
Grass is usually never greener on the other side...when we retire, we aren't going to move out of NYC. We try to enjoy everything we have and appreciate it, daily.
After living in multiple states over the last 25 years, I have found that no state is perfect. You have to make compromises everywhere.
100% true thanks for watching it and commenting
Grass not always greener...
Florida's highways were designed for a population of 4 million. 23 million people travel in roads designed for less than 24% of that amount.
IF IT IS SO EXPENSIVE IN FLORIDA, WHY THE HELL ARE THERE SO SO MANY PEOPLE THERE??????????
Exactly
It's because too many people want to come!
It’s partially Paradise!! It will be 100% Paradise when all the “Johnny come lately residents” go back home or somewhere 😎
Everything's gone way up! Property taxes, homeowners insurance, and rent.
The heat! I work outside, and the heat and humidity is BRUTAL!!!
It takes hours to go somewhere unless you get on the toll roads. That gets expensive.
Politics. Politically Florida's turning in to a place I don't recognize. Crowded. There's way too many people here now. As soon as i am able to retire from working, I'm out.
Heading north. After living here for forty-four years, I've had enough.
I'd rather deal with cold weather than all this BS.
That population growth is insane.
Yep, I was born and raised in FL. I like the wildlife here. Pinkas forgot to mention the American Saltwater crocs as well as alligators..lol! All the beautiful forests and woodlands are being mowed down, especially here in Central FL.. That will make it even hotter in summer. Hurricanes aren't any worse than they have always been, just more development to suffer damage. I would move to a more rural state but because my children and grandchildren are local, I just don't have the heart to move. At least I know how to basically survive here, it's not that hard.
@@zsigzsag thanks for watching and thank you so much for taking the time to comment here on this channel. Truly appreciate you doing so.
There are many areas that are super crowded. But that’s happening. In a lot of other places as well. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
@@zsigzsag I'm glad you said that, hurricanes are NOT worse now than they have ever been. Things seem to go in cycles too. Wasn't there a time, not along ago, where Florida went a good 12 years without one? I think it was 2005-17.

I’m from Michigan I’ve stayed at my cuzins house in Florida for summers when I was younger and loved it I’m moving to Florida soon
Good move 😎
Excited for this ❤❤❤
Sure hope you enjoy this video. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
Which part of FL? What about West Palm / Jupiter?
Its same as Fort Lauderdale.
Just left there after 22 years.
I feel exactly the same about my native California. Would love to leave (except for the weather) but too old.
High auto insurance rates in FL...it's largely because of all the insurance scams down there.
I MUST STAY IN FLORIDA UNTIL I DIE
Same here. 😎
What’s the Miami roofing companies, suing the insurance companies with fraudulent suits that made insurance not only go up but some realized it’s not even worth it and pulled out completely.
You’re right that’s just one part of the crazy puzzle. Thanks for commenting and sharing your story here on this channel and thank you so much for watching. I’ll see you in the next video.
I moved to Titusville 8 years ago from Greenville, SC…what a mistake!
The price of insurance is absolutely ridiculous. I love living here, but dang, it is difficult when living on a fixed income.
I blame “Miami Vice” in the 80’s making Florida popular.
Lol and don’t forget to wear your Don Johnson jacket. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Don Johnson lives in L.A.
I thought I thought it was ET
Florida is still the least worse place to live for now.
It is?
The bar is on the floor
Good point.
I agree, i moved here 5 years ago bought a new build and made very good investment on so far.
But everything Jerry is talking about is true . And economically i feel like California followed me here.
Im currently looking for a place for a pensioner with a small budget.
Michigan is cheap housing
Thank you so much for sharing your story here on this channel for others to see as well. Thanks for watching. I’ll see you in the next video.
I’m sure the long time Myrtle Beach residents are happy about the end of this video.
Traffic on Interstate 4, and interstate 75 is horrible all day long and all week long. There is nothing fun about Florida traffic. Traffic is getting worse and worse in Florida and to make things worse every time the county or the state build the roads bigger than they raise the taxes on everything.
Route 4 makes you not want to go anywhere ,everytime we go out theres an accident and traffic jams . Just to get on route 4 takes 30-40 minutes 😮
My family here since 1950,s. I love Florida because I use the ocean all Summer. My sister moving out because of insurance. I think she is crazy. She should just downsize from a huge home. Nope,she is buying a big home in S. Carolina? Why? Strange what no weather people mention is the wind. Always windy. El Nino?
You’re right there’s so many people who have moved out of Florida and have moved to South Carolina. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your story here. See you in the next video.
It's always windy in SC? or do you mean FL?
@@cannotbeshaken7889 Wndy in Florida much more than normal and the summer west wind? Strange. Normal is southeast.
I am leaving Florida permanently this weekend. Hate the weather, people drive like maniacs. People aren’t friendly at all especially if you are here alone. I hate the stores as well. People are nasty. I am going back to my home state pronto! And inflation. Everyday supermarket prices go up every day. It is not all it’s cracked up to be. Good luck if you just moved here.
It’s no better anywhere else! I say everyone should move to Florida and enjoy that awesome weather ☀️
What an honest video and a great public service. So much for the Promise Land. Too many obstacles for Florida.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this helpful video and to comment here. I’m glad that you’re enjoying the information on this channel and I’ll see you in the next video.
Every state has locals born and raised who Are unhappy with their state And Want to leave. I am from California born and raised it's awful here. You are describing what every local in every state complains about. No where is perfect to live.
Just moved to FL in Sept from MA & my electric bill has been cut in half which blew my mind!
Wait till summer
Good point! Actually hoping to move back to New England by then
Electric is cheaper in Florida?
@@cannotbeshaken7889 So far, compared to my bill in MA .
Yeah Florida has that sticky uncomfortable summer heat..
Alot of out of towners moved in and almost passed out it was so hot it's like unbelievable how hot a June or July day gets there sometimes
Florida, a state that normalized selling pills, ( " Pain Clinics") next to every, Publix market!
Well, you can’t paint the state of Florida in one brush at all it has tremendously, diverse climate, and living environments. If you move to South Florida, you get what you deserve. All these videos trashing Florida, I love them. Because it’s time to separate the wheat from the chaff. If you don’t like it here leave you won’t be missed.
Hi Jerry, great information as always but just a bit of constructive criticism, the audio levels going up and is pretty annoying so bad I had to keep playing with the volume.
Thanks for letting me know and thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. See you in the next video.
No wonder why I've been seeing Florida license plates in PHX AZ. Look here, you Floridians stay away from here we don't need you messing up Phoenix.
Love South Carolina but hate its politics.
Traffic is no excuse, try to live in NYC and you can see that Florida traffic in non existent
Exactly
I have 2 condos in Daytona beach i want to sell they have been remolded
I am planning to leaving next year i check out
Its Insane Home hurricane Insurance costs , also very very high Auto Insurance, just got 2 quotes over $8000, If you need to work ,the jobs pay like its 1988 , very low wages, very high cost of living, must have a Car. Politics and Guns are crazy here,lots of gun violence daily
Florida is a nice place to visit but a horrible place to live. I can’t wait to get back to Western NY state. I want to look out my back door and see woods and deer, not house on top of house. Every penny you think you’re going to save on taxes you’ll spend and then some on home/auto insurance and shady contractors replacing your roof every 10 years so you don’t get dropped by your insurer.
Thanks for taking the time to share your story about what it’s really like to live in Florida. It’s changed a lot. Thanks for watching. I’ll see you in the next video.
More people need to see videos like this. I bet you anything that most people don’t do their research before making a big move.
So true and I thank you for watching and taking the time to comment here. There are many pitfalls that are costly! Florida is a great place to visit unfortunately unfortunately a lot has changed if you are a homeowner. Thanks again I’ll see you in the next video.
Was thinking of moving to Florida in the next year. Might have to move by family in South Carolina instead.
You will be sorry😮
Love this. It will keep folks from moving here.
Worst part is traffic and property insurance. Otherwise Florida is great. I live in Sarasota
This was a great advertisement for Myrtle Beach. 😅😅 that said all of the statistics don’t mean anything if you don’t compare it with what is going on in other states. What is the average amount of people coming and going from other major metropolitan areas? The number alone might seem daunting, but it might be completely normal also for everyone that is leaving how many people are coming in? Again numbers without comparisons don’t really paint a useful picture.
