I second this My friends seem to be moving to Washington, Florida, and other parts of California (away from main cities)

I see far more California vehicle tags in Central Florida than I would've expected.

  That is probably more a function of population. I regularly see Florida plates in Washington.

    I live in Missouri and people who have lived on my street for decades have Florida plates. They must have property there and claim it as residency for tax purposes

      A ton of license plates with oranges on them here in the Bay Area, too.

  When you look in the cars, are they older people? Where I live (western Florida), it's generally older people and not the demographic that you'd expect to find on this site.

    I just moved NYC to Florida and I've been shocked how many other people have done the same. Florida is doing a relatively good job of attracting high end tech talent as far as I can tell. Texas is the other place I hear mentioned a lot.

      The hypotheses I'm seeing are interesting. On one hand, lots of tech workers with kids move there for big yards and good weather. On the other hand, the universities are not up to scratch. And for college graduates and the young, moving to Florida isn't going to provide you with much if any career safety. I'm very interested in the future of Florida in a few years. It can go either way.

      Assuming you’re moving long-term, aren’t you worried climate change is going to make Florida (especially coastal southern Florida) a lot less attractive?

        Yes climate change. It's going to be bad. Please don't move to Florida

        You joke, and I'm sure for some people (who don't really plan to stay anywhere for very long, especially if single & childless) it doesn't matter. But I'm 39 and have little kids. I'd like to stay where I settled for the rest of my life at this point (which may still be another 50+ years). Would you bet on climate change not making Miami a lot less ideal place to live in by the time you're old?

        In Florida at the moment, we don’t plan on staying. https://youtu.be/wWLn6uwPETY https://youtu.be/wWLn6uwPETY
