I will never understand the recent appeal and hype for Florida, except for old expats from the northeast with plenty of cash in their pocket.
I’m from the south, born and lived all my life in various states in the Southeast, and I can say Florida is too hot for me. Hot summers are one thing, hot 75%of the year is something else.
Housing is cheaper than some states for sure, but almost any bordering states can get you a better value for your money.
Also, for the third largest economy in the US, the job market sucks. I’d say even Atlanta is probably a better option m, or even the Raleigh are if you’re looking for a proper “tech city”. I guess with remote work this is less of an issue, but even then…
There’s politics, but then again, you have the entire southeast as well if that’s what you’re after.
One thing I will say is nice is no state income tax. A handful of other states have this as well though, and TX or WA just seen a better choice depending on what you’re looking for.
