    Sounds like a perfect place for a resort.

    It would be more productive to start a petition against hurricanes entering Florida.

    Probably jim but might as well try and sign it.

    Oh... I think poster "bassfriend" might be Johnny Morris in disguise. ��

    The bad thing is that if you sign the petition and don't live there, it will not make any difference at all. These politicians don't give a hoot if you can't vote for them.

    Can't stop what's coming. The secret is out on this state. I firmly believe this state at one time was the most awesome place to live on planet Earth. Beautiful untouched scenery, beaches, rivers, lakes. All the 8 pounders you ever wanted to catch if you knew where to go. Wide open roads through pine forests and marshlands. Not another car in sight. And you had all of this while still being in the good 'ol US of A. It's all over now. Florida is unrecognizable from 30 years ago and it will be even more unrecognizable just 5 years from now. Did you guys know that in the next 10 years the state is predicting a population increase of over 4 million people. Let me say that again, 4 MILLION!!!!!. I've already started looking at land in rural Alabama and Mississippi. Won't have the beaches but at least I can maybe get some of that Old Florida back for at least a little while.

    Do your research ... income taxes, property taxes, ad valorem taxes, taxes on groceries (AL is 9.5%) and other aspects.
    Additionally, look at access to healthcare, insurance rates, elderly care facilities and costs, etc. There's a long list for sure.
    We are VERY unlikely to be in Florida by in about two years. Odds are really good we won't be in the CONUS at all.
    Over the years, we've found most places to be livable. We found rural Michigan to be gorgeous and check all the boxes.
    And there's no denying the beauty of West Virginia. Additionally, it's inexpensive comparatively. It's all about preferences.

    I grew up in Florida my uncle ran a bait and tackle in pohokee .he moved to Cameron Louisiana in 1974 cause of the over crowding just thought it was funny how nothing seems to change , and by the way they sprayed all the lakes back then to and everyone complained
