there is absolutely nothing in florida that makes it worth living there
Florida is like an old used car: cheap upfront costs but expensive maintenance costs.
Florida is like an old used car: cheap up front costs for a dangerous vehicle that you know will eventually fall apart but you act surprised when you lose a ball joint in your front suspension on the highway while doing 120 kph because you ignored your mechanic for the fourth time this year. The look on your face as your car crosses the median and you're about to impact a cement truck.
They do have a first-class spaceport... Watching a rocket takeoff from there would be the only reason I ever go to Florida.
i went to see a launch in early 00's. it is interesting, maybe worth a trip, but not worth moving there
Alligators tell me otherwise. In fact, they tell me they look forward to having it back to themselves soon.
I lived in Louisiana. Although surely they can and periodically do cause harm they really want nothing to do with you. Just don’t screw with one and you’re fine.
Disney world is pretty nice. Maybe we could move it out lol
Disney is the shittiest reason to come to FL.
As a California I concur, Anaheim is a hellhole. Mind you my sense of entertainment is watching Germans burn and get heat stroke out in the Mojave, its extra funny cause I am usually paler than them.
I’m amazed Disney hasn’t already made plans to move out of Florida.
