8. There’s too much weirdness in the state
We know this isn’t such a strong reason for you to not move to a state, but hear us out. The number of people doing weird, shady, and absolutely insane things is over the top!
Are you familiar with the hundreds of cases where Florida residents did have done the weirdest things? We’ll give you an example: “Florida man arrested at Waffle House after he started a conflict over bacon”.
Yeah, I think we’ve said it all with this one. So, are you entirely sure you want to move to a state where you’ll have neighbors like that? We’re going to say pass.

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 .
