Ideally not in Florida anymore
Realistically, probably still in Florida
At the rate we're going either climate change and/or the GOP will have caused Florida to slide into the ocean so you got that to look forward to.
I'm originally from Jersey but I got out of Florida after living there for a good long time. Was not prepared for fire ants, yellow flies, red tide, being pursued by an alligator...
The heat, humidity, and stagnating seasons really got to me.. I desperately wanted it to feel like there were 4 seasons instead of 2, and I missed changing leaves and snow.
I still have most my family down there, but I had to escape...
I've been saying that for 15 years 😭
What keeps making you stay?
Finances until just recently. Now I'm timing a move since I just recently got a WFH job so I'm quite excited! We're trying to travel and see where we would actually like to live. Part of it now is that we've developed some amazing friendships that would be incredibly hard to leave behind.
You never know. If we start fucking up any worse Floida might be under water by then. Always gotta look on the bright side.
This is true - thanks, makes me feel a bit more optimistic about the future.
