I would very much like to leave the "free state of Florida". All of the benefits of living here that I grew up knowing by heart no longer exist and the state government's only concern seems to be punishing people for wrongthink. It isn't cheap to lease or buy property anywhere near a metro area, the coral reefs and sponge beds have mostly disappeared, the beautiful wildlife in our state parks has been curtailed by constant wildfires, and the schools have atrophied to a shell of their former selves. What's the point of living here anymore, or raising my kids here?

- beepbooptheory 10mo agoWhy leave Florida just to move to Texas?
- mbg721 10mo agoTexas can be pricey, but it has huge and diverse growing urban areas with a lot of job opportunities, where someplace like Miami is really cutthroat and very expensive. Or you'd move if you like Mexican food more than Cuban and South American food.
- wnevets 10mo ago> I hear Austin, TX is the bees knees Talk about a lateral move.
- Shalomboy 10mo agoAustin is alluring, but I can't seem to get my foot in the door at any of the big chipmakers in town. Not to be snarky, but I already have enough problems with power outages during hurricane season - ERCOT doesn't inspire much more confidence.
- lisbbb 10mo agoThe schools were ever good? FL, and the entire US south, for that matter, have a long track record of poor K-12 performance.
