1. Florida is FULL of reptiles
This is a straight fact, Florida is full of alligators, green iguanas, Burmese pythons, and LOTS of rats. There are several people that go missing every month because of gator attacks.
In addition, having rodents on the roof, palm trees, and on the beach doesn’t sound AT ALL nice. If you move there you have to adjust to the fact that you’re either going to see a snake on your patio or an alligator in your pool at least once.
We wish we were exaggerating, but, sadly, this is the life you have to adjust to in the Sunny State.

No thank you. I have problems where I live now in Tennessee, but those sound much worse.
I have another reason not to move there and his name is Ron De Santis
I love it.
Been to FL three times in Motorhome in the Winter. Bugs were terrible. Very expensive.
I lived in Florida for 60 years & finally escaped to North Carolina after retirement. Everything mentioned in article is absolutely true. The primary reason for my departure was the unbearable heat & humidity which seemed to bother me more as I aged.
So very glad I don’t live there anymore.
This article is so biased I can’t believe a word. My pool costs me about $20 a month and is a bargain. No bugs, fewer wierdos than any other state, cleaner, spacier, and hot; yes, but certainly bearable. Better value, better governance, and I carry no house insurance. I self insure, and after 10 years, am far ahead. I may get caught, but can afford it. Tennis, golf year round. What’s not to like. Leo Pfeiffer leopfeiffer@aol.com
I’ve lived in Florida for the last thirty years , and I wouldn’t live anywhere else . I’m originally from Buffalo NY and would never go back to live there .
