    Tampa is also even more expensive. A small cracker box apartment in a good neighborhood goes for at least 1400. Zero state income tax but also very low salaries compared to other parts of the country. It all balances out though. Won't ever be buried in snow again. Something to be said for that.

      Finally someone realistic about it. Everyone loves Florida until they actually come here. I feel bad for the people who are trying to buy here right now.

    I lived in Tampa from 2008-2012 I highly recommend being a roommate first for about 6 months to get a feel of the town and and areas... I lived in temple terrace at the tampa oaks then I found my own condo in New Tampa and when it came to moving back to Ohio I didn't have to worry about my lease sublease the 2 months remainder

    If you move here, please dont vote the way your previous state did. You left for a reason dont bring that here. Sales tax is a big diffrence. St pete/clear water is 7.0 Tampa is 8.5. Tampa is the highest in the state.

      This is a unique situation in Florida where so many people from other states are moving here. I have heard your thoughts more often than I have heard people thinking the other way. It seems like most people that move here want Florida to remain a "red" state.
      You are right! That Tampa sales tax is a pain. Just have to come over to Pinellas when you are making a big purchase :)

      To add, dump your sports teams. So sick going to a Rays game with a bunch of Yankee fans rooting for the other team. Ridiculous. I moved down from Oreogn in 96 when I was 11. I miss the old Tampa suburbs that didn't have so much traffic it takes 45 minutes to go anywhere or so much development that we have two Bonefish Grills in a 3 mile radius that runs out small business. The boom here from a long time Tampa resident point of view is not all positive.

Our business currently provides commercial, architecture, and residential photography, video, aerial, 360 virtual tours, and virtual staging for the eastern part of Iowa.

    I was born in Lakeland (yes, home to Publix & Sunbeam Bread), family moved to Daytona when I was 10 & that's where I grew up. Moved to St. Pete when I was 20 & lived in the area for 5 years. Moved to Orlando for a job. Orlando's okay. Moved to West Palm for a relationship. Meh. Out of all of the cities I lived in, I liked the Tampa area the most. I moved from WPB to Atlanta where I lived for 3 years. Too humid (worse than FL IMO) and air quality issues. Moved to San Francisco & lived there for 13 years. Got too expensive so I moved to Seattle. Currently living in Palm Springs after a failed attempt to relocate to London (yes, England). I don't hate it here, but it's clear the desert life isn't for me. Don't want to return to Seattle. Thinking about FL again. I'm retired (not by choice) so I'll either need to find low-income housing or a housemate/flatmate situation. Not sure where I'd live. I've read lovely things about Wilton Manors. Daytona is also an option (love the beach there) but I'm concerned about crime in that area. One of the things I didn't like about FL (and is why I moved to ATL) is the lack of a winter season. I'm not crazy about snow, but I enjoy colder weather. Anyway, thanks for the video.

      Please let know if this answers your questions!
      *State income tax:* Florida has no state income tax. California state income tax goes up with your income, but it averages out to be 8%.
      *Flood insurance:* These areas are easy to avoid. But the whole state still experiences a long rainy season where minor flooding is possible, but that flooding doesn't often affect houses.
      *Alligators:* These are common but they seriously don't care about people. It is not something that you think about having to avoid.
      *Good areas:* There are so many good areas around Tampa. It really depends what you want to be close to.

      The areas right around Tampa are quite a bit more expensive than further out. Even towns like Spring Hill are quite a bit more affordable, and still pretty big.

      That might be the reason! I have heard a few sides of that argument, and have seen a lot more dangerous driving in some other places.

    Tampa sucks, no one speaks English and there's way too much traffic.
