We lived there for 11 yrs and left due to medical issues I have . Now 8 yrs up North I'm really starting to miss it so much . My whole family is up here . My husband has a good job here and we are so afraid of the big pay cut he's gonna have . Thanks for putting these videos out there
This video is everything! I’m in the PNW and have lived here all my life with a HUGE family. We want to move down to Florida but the family thing terrifies me. This video was so helpful and comforting. Thanks guys
I love you guys! Just moved to Cape Coral , almost a year now. Love my neighbors. Came changer having started making friends and now, family. God bless you all. I'll keep watching and enjoying!🙏🏼❤️
I’m sure being the wonderful people that y’all are you haven’t sent a picture of yourself sitting outside wearing shorts and a t shirt when they are having a blizzard 😊
Hi guys, I miss your videos about Florida. What happened to your TH-cam lives? Was it too much work? Anyways you guys were amazing and I loved listening to your Florida stories. Best from MA!
Florida is like an addiction. People talk of the negatives of Florida when they are in Florida. Then when they pack up and leave Florida, the withdrawal symptoms strike HARD in a few weeks living away from Florida. There is no escape once you get bit by the bug called Florida.
I am born and raised in the PNW Washington and Oregon. My wife and I have been seriously talking about Florida. The main thing is family that I struggle with about moving. We have both set of parents close by like within less than an hour who help watch our young daughter since my wife and I have a small business which our professions would be easy for us to find jobs in Florida.
So glad you guys are back…I knew you would be. I’m visiting the NE for the first time since I moved here 3 yrs ago and aside from seeing my family I am NOT looking forward to the area😂 seasonal depression stopped for me the minute I moved here❤️
How are you guys feeling now. We moved to FL 3 years ago and absolutely love it but it's getting expensive like home owners insurance and car insurance. Our governor is also running FL to the ground. Would love to know your thoughts now.
For me, I moved back to CT where I grew up and 8 months later, I felt like it wasn’t “home”. Now, I felt like it wasn’t the same. I felt like FL is home.
LOL that is the strange thing about Florida. When out of staters come to Florida to settle down, they eventually begin resenting FL for the things they miss about their home state. Many people then move back to their home state within 2 years. The problem is most of these returnees from Florida suddenly realize that they left their heart back in Florida and home doesnt feel like home anymore. In my experience it takes about 5 -7 years of living in Florida for people to emotionally adjust to Florida [and overcome the memories of 'White Christmas' and no 'Fall colors or Four seasons' etc]. The phase of 'buyer's remorse' after landing in Florida is a path that everyone has to cross, especially in years 2 and 3 of living in Florida. But even if one packs and leaves in years 2 and 3 of living in Florida, relocating to the home state won't help in years 2 and 3 because the Florida bug will start biting the person soon after relocating back to their home state. A good friend and co-worker of mine decided to pack and leave for DC [and a few month later to NYC] as a digital nomad [tech worker working remote from home] for well-paying gigs. I told him that he will soon regret and miss Miami/Fort Lauderdale. He was adamant that he would not. He lived ON THE BEACH in a luxurious condo building on SOUTH BEACH [Miami Beach]. Less than three months later he calls to tell me that he worked and lived two months in DC and then moved to NYC and that he absolutely HATED both places and that Florida is heaven in comparison. He just couldnt understand the hype of NYC. He spent some more months in NYC and 10 months after he left Florida he began seriously planning relocation back to Florida. He is now back in Florida and has sworn never to move out.
I am from Florida and I moved to Wisconsin... I'll never return to Florida ever again. I love my home state, the nature is BEAUTIFUL.... but the friendships are hard to make, people aren't nice, people are not honest, people are not straight-forward in Florida. Moving to Wisconsin is where I can give my kids that upper Midwest lifestyle of good friends, sports teams in school, and a sense of belonging. They love it up here! Florida is just negative energy all throughout it.
Hi there,you fellas are right.Florida is different than up here ( New Jersey) I like the living way and the people are more friendly .I have a house there for 15 years,thinking to move to my house before this winter,thank you for your videos you are giving me some inspiration to make the move,you are really convincing me.God Bless 🙏❤️👍✌️🌴🌴
Nothing like Florida my friend. Imagine being able to make a short drive to the beach or jog/walk to the beach every morning or evening and enjoy a nice seaside breakfast and coffee and then go walk on the warm powdery silver or golden sand every single day of your life. The palm trees sashaying into the wind. The sound of laughter and happy chatter of other beach goers. Walk on the many piers that most beach side towns have built extending into the sea. take boatrides in the many canals in Fort Lauderdale and other cities and go restaurant and bar hopping after buying day long tickets to water taxis. Else you can live your life freezing in New Jersey and NY lol
Thanks for making this video. I am so much like you guys. I have anxiety and I'm an introvert. I'm in Ohio and I'm sitting here in tears because I'm depressed. The cold, dreary and ugly days just suck. I have chronic pain so the heat makes me feel better. I recently lost my income, my ex lost his job so I lost my child support too. I don't know what I'm going to do. I live in a small town where you apply for a job on Indeed and it says 72 other ppl have applied for it. I'm so over this and want to be in Florida where I love to be. I've been telling my kids I think I'd be happier down there and their response is Gators, fire ants, hurricanes, flooding, sink holes. That puts my anxiety through the roof. I just don't know what to do. I'm ready to just sell everything and have a new start. Any jobs for someone like me with chronic pain? Something online would be great if you know of anything. I'm even willing to clean small offices or small homes. I'd love to clean model homes. That's something that probably wouldn't be too hard on me. I have over 20 years of experience. If anyone can help me with getting a job and a place lined up, that would be so appreciated.
I moved to FL from NYC 17 years ago and never looked back. I will never vote blue again. Keeping FL red is the key to keeping FL free. God bless DeSantis for keeping FL sane.
Same here, moved from a blue state to FL 17 years ago. Will never vote blue again. We need to keep FL red if we do not want to make it full of tent-cities and homeless camps etc. All the people escaping to FL from CA, NY, Canada, CT etc to enjoy Florida's zero taxes and clean roads and no tent-cities etc etc. need to know that FL is different from Detroit, NY, Chicago, CA cities etc. because it is not a liberal/democratic state. YOu vote Blue and hand it to democratic politicans and they will introduce huge taxes [tax and spend liberals] and convert it to how those blue states are, from which you escaped.
@@stayyourpath Well, the answer lies in complicated human psychology. But I will try to explain. And bear in mind that I am a former liberal/democrat who is now firmly independent or right leaning independent. Most of my friends/relatives/family continue to be hard-core liberals/democrats. This is what happens when my family comes to visit us in Florida. A typical reaction when we go out on drives anywhere in Florida, from the visiting liberal friends/family: 'Wow, unbelievable, that we have been driving for hours across massive cities and not one dent on the roads to be seen, not one homeless tent city anywhere, all streets look new and street marking freshly painted. I've been suffering chronic back pain, and in these three hours driving around, not once did I get jolted by the car driving over a pothole or cracked open roads. How does Florida do this?' And when I reply nonchalantly: 'Arent our taxes meant to be used to maintain roads and bridges?' [Not thinking much about it]. Back comes the response from the visitor: 'But we folks in Michigan also pay taxes, but why is it that our roads are lousy?' Exactl similar response from folks coming from MA, PA, NYetc. They cannot stop raving about everything being so perfect in Florida. But when I point out to them very politely that they pay much higher taxes/state income taxes, as Florida has zero state income, they are doubly surprised. I tell them they need to ask themselves why is it that they pay such high taxes in liberal states and get nothing for it. And they turn defensive. They will keep ranting as to why their states suck and how can a huge state like Floria be so well maintained end to end, but they will still dis-regard those very facts and still behave like brainwashed liberals. So whats my point? My point is that liberals are all about WORDS - empty talking. Talk Talk talk. All feel good, no action, no plan, talk. Lets eradicate poverty? Of course, we want to eradicate poverty - we are liberals. Eradicate world hunger? Of course we are liberal and love to remove hunger. Sign us up. Let's fight for Climate change? Ofcourse we liberal love nature and want to protect the climate/planet. Sign us up, please. Then what happens? NOTHING. Now all of the above sounds perfectly normal, right? The problem is that is all that the liberal brain does. Talk talk talk. It is like communism and communist. After a lot of people have bought into the hype of a wonderful new world, that is when liberal politicians strike, like the communist leaders of Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela etc. The leaders then tax the life out of their sheep who willingly pay the ruling elite. Don't believe me? Okay, if I tell you that in one state the politicians actually put a suggestion for a huge increase in gas prices on the ballot, and the voters actually voted overwhelmingly to shoot up gas prices, would you believe that it happened in the US? WEll it happened in California. LIke sheep, the people all went and vote to screw themselves through massive oil tax increase. Ofcourse they do that because politicians promised them that the money will be spent to remove poverty and fight limate change and remove gender and race discrimination. So what happens? Well the politicans then increase the pay and pensions for themselves and their government officers. CALPERS, the California pension system, is a huge fraud. There are city and state workers who get paid 400,000 US dollars per year. Some get paid more than 500, 000 USD per year. That is half a million per year! And these are not CEOs of provate silicon valley companies or tech companies. These are state and city workers of California. Then there is another scam. Govt workers under the Calpers system can pad up their salaries of their last few years of service, through overtime etc. The pension, lifelong pension, is calculated with high weightage on salaries received in the last few years. So their supervisors help give them huge overtimes and this helps retiring employees pad up their average salaries earned in their career. As a result they end up with pensions for life that is several hundred US dollars per year. And these keep getting adjusted for inflation/cost of living. So now you get why there are more and more tent cities over running California. NIce cities like San Diego now are being run over by their tent cities. So it is not just San Francisco or LA problems.
@EL1TE KID Look up online on videos about huge number of govt servaants working to remove homelessness in CA. One company pitched a proposal to help remove homelessness and get those people on their feet through jobs etc. City workers stalled that proposal. When the company reps asked to meet with city workers/state workers of California, they were told essentially that the proposal/solution is too good. And if implemented homelessness will reduce, and then the state workers /city workers will be rendered jobless! Same happening in NJ/NY. NJ came up with a 'Rain TAX' [NJ or CT, don't remember]. Essentiall this is a new tax to pay for drain system repair, due to climate change. Apparently more rains were happening due to climate change and eroding drains. So they used that excuse to raise taxes. The people, being liberals, were all happy to fight climate change. This new tax is now on them. Turns out that most of the tax collected would not go towards drain repair, but 60% would go towards servicing existing loans that the state had taken out for some other reasons. And a lot of the remaiming funds would go for other totally unrelated issues. Liberalism is like cancer of the mind. It is all good feel-good talk and fuzzy math. It is impossible to live in NYC, they have massive city tax, state tax and then Federal tax. Yet New York city is total chaos with lousy streets and run down bridges etc. FL governon had gone to NY during the pre-election period to campaing for a republican candidate. He asked the crowd: 'How is it that NY has more than four times the funds that we in FL has and yet FL is so much better maintained? What do you get for the heavy taxes you pay?' All my friends and family agree that Florida is spectular and spotlessly clean. Nice roads, nice shiny bridges. NO filth or trash on the streets anywhere. Yet they will keep blindly supporting their liberal politicians. And keep feeling so much more miserable. TExas is another massive state and I have noticed similar things in Texas as well, like in Florida. Why is it that Florida and Texas attract the most inter-state migration in the US. And people coming are coming mostly from Liberal states. Including from California. Heavy taxation in liberal states with nothing to show for it. When you have the most liberal news outlets like NY times and washington post publishing articles about the chaos in liberal states cities and on migration from blue states to red states, you have a problem. Take Oregon's example. A few years ago they took pride in making hard drugs legal in Oregon. Through love we can cure addiction, so dont punish addicts. Sounds good on paper. IN the real world, not so much. Any idiot would know that this law would result in drug suppliers and addicts rushing into oregon and making the state a hell hole. So what happened. Within a few years POrtland oregon now tops the US in homelessness. Drug addicts have taken over townships. People are abandoning their homes and moving out of Portland and other cities. Prostitution and homelessness have exploded. The embankments on both sides of the interstates/highway are not being encroached by homeless tents and mattresses. Democrats are now protesting in Oregon cities against democratic politicians. Nancy pelosis political enclave has massive homelessness. look up videos on it. She doesnt respond to any of it. Liberals had huge hopes on the Hispanic population of FL and TX, that they will turn those states blue. What happened. They turned the states more red, especially Florida. Why? Because hispanics there, especially in Florida are hard working small business owners who are also religious. They are not anti-business, but pro-busines and do NOT want handouts. They are aspirational and want to be rich. They dont want to continue to be poor. But Democrats market themselves as party of hte poor and so their target audience are people who should remain poor, else the support base of democrats will get depleted. Democrats clamor for Trump's tax return. When Pelosi was asked 'what about your tax return?', she replied: 'Well I dont have to show my tax return because I am not running for president'. So Nancy Pelosi retired school teacher with personal net worth of more than $50 million [some estimates say $100 million] is okay with not showing tax return. When it comes out that Jeff Bezos did not pay one dollar personal income tax, the world does not come to an end. Not one liberal has a problem with an actual multi-billionaire not paying taxes, for several years, some years he did. But Trump, who may not even be a billionaire anymore, liberals are all in a tizzy about that tax return. NOw that his tax returns have been made public, what happened? NOthing. So why were liberals getting their undies into a wad about Trumps tax return? Same liberals have no problem in buring away tax payer money when paying$400k and $500,000 per year to some California state employees. And fat pension for life as well. NO liberals are very happy about that. Oh, another thing. All those relatives and friends that I mentioned earlier. Every one of them is well employed. But why is it that most of them live like low-middle class or paycheck to paycheck, I have no idea. Every so often I keep getting request to give them a few thousand dollars [as gift], because they are in this problem, or that problem. Why? i always wonder. Because they are liberals in personal life and personal spending habits too. Wasteful living. Even when both spouses are working. How is it that when $250,000 or $300,000 comes into the house hold each year, and yet they are poor even after 20 years of working thse jobs. Because just like liberal states are good at burning money, liberals are also good at wasting money. All of them max out their credit cards, and always looking for new credit cards. When I tell them that I have zero debt and zero credit card they are shocked! I have yte to come across a liberal friend or relative of mine, who is well off, and this includes people who have been earning $250k and above $300k per year for decades. I know of people who earn much lower and are super well off. liberalism is a disease. Of the mind. Show me a random bunch of 100 liberals. Show me a random bunch of 100 conservatives. I will predict that 98% of the liberals will NOT become rich this life. At least 25% of the conservatives will become rich in this lifetime. A big chunk of the others will live or get to live comfortably. YOu may come to me as say that hey those liberals, most of them live in big houses, and go on fancy vacations, and drive fancy cars and are members of great clubs. And I will tell you that is precisely why they will remain poor, splurging on things they cannot afford. Just like liberal states and politicians.
@@samanthamccormick1505 Thank you for the very detailed response lol. I currently live in Philadelphia so YES I have always been in a battle of "where are my taxes going". The roads here are horrible! I plan on moving to Florida very very soon and will take this in mind. Thanks again
Can I ask how you go out and find a support system in a city where you don’t know anyone? We are not a young family with kids and I assume the kids are the lunch pin to finding friends. My family is small but it is the only family we have. The moving and being loners is the worst feeling. Help!
Ok so our best advice is online Facebook groups for the area you are moving (there are lots of people who are new to town in these groups and looking for friends) or places like church. It’s always easier to make friends when you are brought together by a common interest.
The larger the town/city in Florida the tougher it “can” be… BUT remember you only need a few friends to make it amazing … what I would suggest (full disclosure we do have kids and that helps but honestly… only so much)… I made my way to the golf course (even if you don’t play) and hang at the clubhouses. People will talk. It is easy to strike up a convo. Local rec clubs are helpful also - pickleball is huge where I am and most people who play didn’t know one another and many friendships were made. I also use my local Tiki bar. lol. It sits on a golf course and overlooks the Gulf… people LOVE to chat when having a drink. I would steer clear of tourists spots as one can imagine, those people are just visiting. Church is also a great way… but make sure you stay after for breakfast (if your church has it) as that is when you can meet people. We have local restaurant trivia nights that people literally go to EVERY week so it becomes a little community. Just some ideas. I hope this helps.
I am planing to move from Texas to Tampa, Floria on next week. Looking for good appartment and school location. Can you suggest us few places for appartment with good school district?
I need a rental real estate agent any suggestions? I contacted 1 and the lady was rude. I felt like she was trying to argue with me. She said she would pass along my number and I never got a call back.
We lived there for 11 yrs and left due to medical issues I have . Now 8 yrs up North I'm really starting to miss it so much . My whole family is up here . My husband has a good job here and we are so afraid of the big pay cut he's gonna have . Thanks for putting these videos out there
This video is everything! I’m in the PNW and have lived here all my life with a HUGE family. We want to move down to Florida but the family thing terrifies me. This video was so helpful and comforting. Thanks guys
You and I are the same. PNW my whole life with both my family and wife family is nearby and we have a little one.
I love you guys! Just moved to Cape Coral , almost a year now. Love my neighbors. Came changer having started making friends and now, family. God bless you all. I'll keep watching and enjoying!🙏🏼❤️
I’m moving to Jacksonville tomorrow, so excited and scared
my SAD was almost non existent when I lived in FL.
Right?!
Moved to FL from MD three days ago.. I can appreciate that people are not as intense as I am. People are just laid back. I love it.
Glad to hear someone say that about us Floridians
I’m sure being the wonderful people that y’all are you haven’t sent a picture of yourself sitting outside wearing shorts and a t shirt when they are having a blizzard 😊
We would NEVER! 😂😜
Welcome to the South. The biggest thing I miss about the South is the friendly outgoing lifestyle. It is so much easier to make friends I think.
I moved to Tallahassee about a month ago and I love Florida
That’s great to hear!
Hi guys, I miss your videos about Florida. What happened to your TH-cam lives? Was it too much work? Anyways you guys were amazing and I loved listening to your Florida stories. Best from MA!
Your right about the warm sun , always makes me feel better
This is so relatable to me as someone who lived in Florida twice and living in my NC town don't feel the same.
Florida is like an addiction. People talk of the negatives of Florida when they are in Florida. Then when they pack up and leave Florida, the withdrawal symptoms strike HARD in a few weeks living away from Florida. There is no escape once you get bit by the bug called Florida.
I am born and raised in the PNW Washington and Oregon. My wife and I have been seriously talking about Florida. The main thing is family that I struggle with about moving.

Me, Poland born Florida in my ❤️!
The vitamin d! Yes! This!
So glad you guys are back…I knew you would be. I’m visiting the NE for the first time since I moved here 3 yrs ago and aside from seeing my family I am NOT looking forward to the area😂 seasonal depression stopped for me the minute I moved here❤️

amen we cant wait to move to florida
What do you guys think about Ocala? Thinking of a move there as it’s a bit more affordable than about everywhere else in FL

WHAT SONG IS THAT FOR THE INTRO OF YOUR VIDEOS? OR IS IT A CERTAIN VERSION OF A SONG?
Would love to have you guys as neighbors , god bless
Have you been to an area called the hills of minneola? Just wondering what your thoughts were on that area?
What’s the name of the opening song of all of the Florida videos you guys do?
No title…it’s actually a song that I wrote and sang!

And if implemented homelessness will reduce, and then the state workers /city workers will be rendered jobless!
Same happening in NJ/NY. NJ came up with a 'Rain TAX' [NJ or CT, don't remember]. Essentiall this is a new tax to pay for drain system repair, due to climate change. Apparently more rains were happening due to climate change and eroding drains. So they used that excuse to raise taxes. The people, being liberals, were all happy to fight climate change. This new tax is now on them. Turns out that most of the tax collected would not go towards drain repair, but 60% would go towards servicing existing loans that the state had taken out for some other reasons. And a lot of the remaiming funds would go for other totally unrelated issues.
Liberalism is like cancer of the mind. It is all good feel-good talk and fuzzy math. It is impossible to live in NYC, they have massive city tax, state tax and then Federal tax. Yet New York city is total chaos with lousy streets and run down bridges etc.
FL governon had gone to NY during the pre-election period to campaing for a republican candidate. He asked the crowd: 'How is it that NY has more than four times the funds that we in FL has and yet FL is so much better maintained? What do you get for the heavy taxes you pay?'
All my friends and family agree that Florida is spectular and spotlessly clean. Nice roads, nice shiny bridges. NO filth or trash on the streets anywhere. Yet they will keep blindly supporting their liberal politicians. And keep feeling so much more miserable.
TExas is another massive state and I have noticed similar things in Texas as well, like in Florida. Why is it that Florida and Texas attract the most inter-state migration in the US. And people coming are coming mostly from Liberal states. Including from California.
Heavy taxation in liberal states with nothing to show for it. When you have the most liberal news outlets like NY times and washington post publishing articles about the chaos in liberal states cities and on migration from blue states to red states, you have a problem.
Take Oregon's example. A few years ago they took pride in making hard drugs legal in Oregon. Through love we can cure addiction, so dont punish addicts. Sounds good on paper. IN the real world, not so much. Any idiot would know that this law would result in drug suppliers and addicts rushing into oregon and making the state a hell hole. So what happened. Within a few years POrtland oregon now tops the US in homelessness. Drug addicts have taken over townships. People are abandoning their homes and moving out of Portland and other cities. Prostitution and homelessness have exploded. The embankments on both sides of the interstates/highway are not being encroached by homeless tents and mattresses. Democrats are now protesting in Oregon cities against democratic politicians.
Nancy pelosis political enclave has massive homelessness. look up videos on it. She doesnt respond to any of it.
Liberals had huge hopes on the Hispanic population of FL and TX, that they will turn those states blue. What happened. They turned the states more red, especially Florida. Why? Because hispanics there, especially in Florida are hard working small business owners who are also religious. They are not anti-business, but pro-busines and do NOT want handouts. They are aspirational and want to be rich. They dont want to continue to be poor. But Democrats market themselves as party of hte poor and so their target audience are people who should remain poor, else the support base of democrats will get depleted.
Democrats clamor for Trump's tax return. When Pelosi was asked 'what about your tax return?', she replied: 'Well I dont have to show my tax return because I am not running for president'. So Nancy Pelosi retired school teacher with personal net worth of more than $50 million [some estimates say $100 million] is okay with not showing tax return.
When it comes out that Jeff Bezos did not pay one dollar personal income tax, the world does not come to an end. Not one liberal has a problem with an actual multi-billionaire not paying taxes, for several years, some years he did. But Trump, who may not even be a billionaire anymore, liberals are all in a tizzy about that tax return. NOw that his tax returns have been made public, what happened? NOthing. So why were liberals getting their undies into a wad about Trumps tax return? Same liberals have no problem in buring away tax payer money when paying$400k and $500,000 per year to some California state employees. And fat pension for life as well. NO liberals are very happy about that.
Oh, another thing. All those relatives and friends that I mentioned earlier. Every one of them is well employed. But why is it that most of them live like low-middle class or paycheck to paycheck, I have no idea. Every so often I keep getting request to give them a few thousand dollars [as gift], because they are in this problem, or that problem. Why? i always wonder. Because they are liberals in personal life and personal spending habits too. Wasteful living. Even when both spouses are working. How is it that when $250,000 or $300,000 comes into the house hold each year, and yet they are poor even after 20 years of working thse jobs.
Because just like liberal states are good at burning money, liberals are also good at wasting money. All of them max out their credit cards, and always looking for new credit cards. When I tell them that I have zero debt and zero credit card they are shocked! I have yte to come across a liberal friend or relative of mine, who is well off, and this includes people who have been earning $250k and above $300k per year for decades. I know of people who earn much lower and are super well off.
liberalism is a disease. Of the mind.
Show me a random bunch of 100 liberals. Show me a random bunch of 100 conservatives. I will predict that 98% of the liberals will NOT become rich this life. At least 25% of the conservatives will become rich in this lifetime. A big chunk of the others will live or get to live comfortably. YOu may come to me as say that hey those liberals, most of them live in big houses, and go on fancy vacations, and drive fancy cars and are members of great clubs. And I will tell you that is precisely why they will remain poor, splurging on things they cannot afford. Just like liberal states and politicians.
@@samanthamccormick1505 Thank you for the very detailed response lol. I currently live in Philadelphia so YES I have always been in a battle of "where are my taxes going". The roads here are horrible! I plan on moving to Florida very very soon and will take this in mind. Thanks again
Most folks in the Midwest are really very nice, sincere and friendly but had to moved to FL, the winters there are just unbearable.
Can I ask how you go out and find a support system in a city where you don’t know anyone? We are not a young family with kids and I assume the kids are the lunch pin to finding friends. My family is small but it is the only family we have. The moving and being loners is the worst feeling. Help!
Ok so our best advice is online Facebook groups for the area you are moving (there are lots of people who are new to town in these groups and looking for friends) or places like church. It’s always easier to make friends when you are brought together by a common interest.
Same. Not having kids definitely makes it a challenge.
The larger the town/city in Florida the tougher it “can” be… BUT remember you only need a few friends to make it amazing … what I would suggest (full disclosure we do have kids and that helps but honestly… only so much)… I made my way to the golf course (even if you don’t play) and hang at the clubhouses. People will talk. It is easy to strike up a convo. Local rec clubs are helpful also - pickleball is huge where I am and most people who play didn’t know one another and many friendships were made. I also use my local Tiki bar. lol. It sits on a golf course and overlooks the Gulf… people LOVE to chat when having a drink. I would steer clear of tourists spots as one can imagine, those people are just visiting. Church is also a great way… but make sure you stay after for breakfast (if your church has it) as that is when you can meet people. We have local restaurant trivia nights that people literally go to EVERY week so it becomes a little community. Just some ideas. I hope this helps.
