This is a great video actually my whole family used to live on long island my moms family lived in west islip and brooklyn and my dads side lived in lynbrook my grandparents left for palm harbor in 1989 my aunt durene left in 1991 to palm harbor then 1995 my aunt lisa was last to leave, then on dads side my uncle al left for palm beach in 1995 after getting hired by palm beach pd district 1 then my granddad moved to boyton beach in july 1998 and lastly my aunt maria left in september of 1999 to palm beach then after a year there they moved to lake worth in june 2001 then my granddad moved to orlando in 2005 and lived there until his tragic passing of heart failure and old age in 2017
When it's all said and done. The #1 thing I loathe about Florida is the humidity #2 low wages. And now it is getting over crowed and rents has skyrocketed compared to 1992 $572.00 for a 3 bedroom then- same location in Orlando $1800.00 to $ 2000.00 but the wages stagnant since 1992! affordable housing disappeared... it's sad. What I love about Florida as a grown up :) cruise ports 1 hour away to get away on the weekends or longer and driving down to key West Thanksgiving or after that holiday trips and also 7am to 12 noon beach relaxation day on Sunday mornings before the crowd shows up and drivers jam the beach parking spaces. But the humidity is brutal- 3 months of nice weather starting October Halloween to Dec 31st (really October and November are the best weather months) Also HOA developments has got to go. Communities can decide who to hire or fire to cut their lawn and hire outside security themselves.. no need for HOA to tell you- on a home you purchased- you can't paint your mailbox or keep Christmas lights up all year on your property if you desire. And of course neighbors don't like seeing a pile up of trash or people parking in the wrong space.. if your respectful you can talk to your neighbors they will move their vehicle. If not call the police- and gamble going down that path with a 'Lord have mercy on me neighbor' 😅- we all know the neighbors that is allergic to every animals- the worst humans on earth😅 if your respectful- you always clean up after your pets/dogs. Don't need HOA tagging peoples cars are trying to ban your furry friend/ of course Pitbulls or no dogs should be loose roaming freely. Cats are not going to chew your leg off or attack you.. while jogging or riding your bicycle. Seriously Reason I commented is because I like middle Pennsylvania and thought about leaving Florida due to humidity migraines long month seasons. But not sure about taxes and why people are moving from PA to FL
Thank you for your feedback! I can’t speak for everyone but I think the biggest factor for most people moving from PA to FL is the weather. It’s cold, overcast and dreary for a large part of the year. The Fall months are beautiful but winters can be brutal, not to mention if it snows and you need to shovel your walks and scrape frost from your car windows.. if you are more of a cold weather person, I think you may really enjoy making the move! :)
@@LivingInCentralFL407 OTR trucker when I leave out of Florida I mainly end up working the upper east coast to Chicago.. I pretty much get to judge all of America which regions appear to be lovely vs. I would never live here
As of 2023 my dads family still lives in lake worth and my moms family just moved my aunt durene is now in a 1 bed 1 bath mobile house in clearwater my aunt lisa now lives in tarpon springs and my grandparents are in trinity and had their home since 2001
I have family in PA actually i have 2 cousins from my moms side who live in lancaster and Bethlehem and on my dads side my cousin maria who lives in port matilda she and her husband my cousin bill used to live in bethpage since 2003 and moved to a quiet and family oriented gated community near beautiful farmland there in 2019 and my little cousin loves the farms which is one of the reasons why they left so my cousin can have a farm to go to on weekends and see the animals
Thats interesting. As a little kid, kindergarten-->6th grade, I grew up in south FL, longest spot was Homestead. I hated it. Allergies, didn't take the heat&humidity well, everything just flat. 7th grade was Guam, similar weather but at least mountains/hills and varied vegetation. 🤣 Back to Sarasota for half of 8th grade, then finally moved to Baltimore County for a few years and ultimately Delaware. I'm still in DE, south of Wilmington, but as part of my career I commuted up to KOP/Valley Forge for like 17 yrs, 51 miles one way, up 95, The Blue Route, the Sure Kill, lol, hated the roads and traffic up there ... And sales tax! lol. Retired now, my brother moved to The Villages back in 2019 and tries to get me down there, but the politics of FL are really horrible to me, and, now that I'm almost 60, I am less tolerant of the heat...Lots of people like it though. We don't have terrible winters usually. so its not so bad. Congrats on your decision and joy...
Thanks for your feedback. I wasn’t made for the cold 😆 I battled my husband on the move for many years but I always complained about the cold weather hurting my face 🤣 needless to say, I love it. And yes there are many factors to consider that certainly don’t appeal to everyone. Thanks for watching!
@@LivingInCentralFL407 Oh, I understand about the cold bothering you, my sister-in-law is the same, when they still lived up in MD, she would have trouble with cold every winter. I have issues with the heat. So I'm doomed as climate change issues will make it exceedingly warmer here too. lol,.
@@LivingInCentralFL407 Funny story, the last week of July 2005 I was down in Altamonte Springs for a training class for work. I stayed at one of those 'self serve' hotels, looked nice but every day when I got back to the hotel, opening the room door was like opening an oven door @ 400 degrees! Yet the AC in the room was blasting on high and very cold air! It turns out there was a motion detector in the room. No motion in there, no A/C! I was a sopping wet sponge of misery that whole week! 🤣 That was the last time I was in FL.
I was born and raised in north shore Massachusetts moved here a few years back I don’t regret it either it is kinda boring and shooing and food is meh drivers suck but I enjoy it here very much .
@@LivingInCentralFL407native Floridians can tell you for a fact the bad drivers are NOT natives it’s people who come from up north. Especially the one who don’t know how to drive in downpours 🫣
@CharletteG I 100% agree northern drivers aren’t the best either 😬😆 but I always assumed it was the influx of people from all over the world attempting to drive here 😅 either way.. it’s definitely not great. 🙃
I have lived in Florida for 55 years. This place has gone to crap. Way too many people have moved here.Used to be reasonable to live here, not so much anymore. Glad you like it though.
Oh no! What part of Florida are you in? We feel the same about where we are from up north :/ I can’t speak to its progress from the past but we do love it here.
@@michaeldemsky51 my next video is on Moving from California. We were just there last month and I couldn't believe the cost of everything! I thought we were going to have to pinch pennies after 2 weeks! 😅

Facts.
Is getting home insurance still affordable?
It’s definitely increased but I’d say it’s still affordable. The biggest shock from our move was the car insurance! 😆😬
@@LivingInCentralFL407 car insurance is up 30 percent here in southern California.
