Ok, Florida folks.

We know none of us are actually from here (I think Fro is, but he's in AZ now).

Where did you come from, and when?

Me: NW Chicago Suburb of Palatine. Bought in February 2020. Moved in April 2020.

We're looking at moving down there within the next five years. I just can't do these months of cold, gray weather anymore. It seriously just depresses me.

Nope.  Y'all are doomed.  More folks moving to Florida than Texas, as evidenced by this very topic on this very message board. :)

There are exceptions to the NY and Cali people. Same with Chicago (me).

I lived there from age 3 - 27 or 28.  Born in TX.  Univ of Florida, class of '05.  Moved out around 16-17 years ago maybe. 

I miss the humidity.  I keeps away random  nosebleeds and makes your feet look pretty.  Apparently, dew and flip-flops and rain and sweat keep your feet looking nice.  The desert does not.

I also miss the noise of the night - crickets/frogs/what have you making a loud racket.  Dead silent in the desert.

It was also very nice to never be more than 90 min from the beach.

No state taxes. 

No fall break, at least when I was growing up.  Never head of it until moving out west.

Moved here in January of 16-mostly for a job upgrade but also because of the nasty, long Michigan winters.  Lived there ( Michigan) my whole adult life.  Born in Ohio- Cleveland burbs until age 12.  

I do like Florida but it is exponentially more crowded than it was just five years ago.  

I do miss Northern Michigan, which is absolutely beautiful in the summer and fall.   I am approaching retirement within a year or two and will likely buy a summer cabin on a lake somewhere up there.   Nothing fancy just a two or 3 Bedroom where I can fish and enjoy the weather instead of the humidity here in Florida.

That what my uncle did.  Rather than be a snowbird, he lives I. Florida, and has a hunting cabin in Northern MI for essentially Memorial Day through Halloween.  7 months in Florida/5 in Northern MI
