@LIVSouthFlorida SOOO HAPPY YOU OUT HERE --PLEASE NEVER COME BACK --MAKE FLORIDA ❤ GREAT AGAIN!! BYEEEE LIVSOUTHFLORIDA
I'm from Florida and I've lived here my entire life and I could honestly tell you we don't want anybody else moving here
I just moved here from Illinois, All I want to do is go hunting, fishing and shoot trap, I did not fit in with the liberals in Illinois, I kid that I'm a redneck deep down inside, I love our governor and carry daily, I love living in a free state where people can live life, unless you are in my face I don't care what you're doing, AND NOW I too don't want northerners moving down!
As a Florida resident of 9 years, I find your video spot on. The most honest video I've seen. I'm putting my home up for sale next week and moving back to NC where I was born and raised. I've enjoyed my years here, but now the traffic has gotten so bad and everything has gotten crazy expensive. The main reason I'm going home is the health care. I'm really tired of the substandard health care here in this state. I thought it was just me because I use the VA Health Care System, but after trying civilian care through Medicare, my experience is the same. Long wait times , slow referrals, doctors that see you maybe 5 minutes on a good day and tell you to come back in 3 weeks just for another 5 minutes. It's all a revolving door of waiting and poor care. I have learned that any doctor that went to UFC is really the bottom of the barrel . A few years back I started screening new doctors to make sure they didn't graduate from the University of Florida..it's that bad. I guess they spend all their time tanning and partying . Anyway , If you're from out of state listen to this guy that made the video. It is all true and then some. Make sure before you buy a home to check the flood plane because you will need additional flood insurance. If you live less than 3 miles from the coast you need extra insurance. If the home you are looking to buy has a roof that is 15 years old or older you can't get it insured without it having a new roof. If the home is built in 1975 or earlier ,make sure it has been re piped , otherwise the pipes are bad. These are items I learned the hard way as a homeowner here. Also check the sinkhole maps to be sure you future home isn't in danger of being swallowed by the Earth. One more BIG thing, if you are thinking of living on a canal, get out and ask a resident you see if the canal gets full of algae in the Summer. If so you should probably pass if you have respiratory issues or are sensitive to odours. The algae in some canals can get unbearable so you can't go outside in your yard. So do your homework before coming to Florida..hope this helps someone.
Thank you and I try to be as honest as possible and objective without any bias. It's all based on my personal experience living in FL, the experiences of my clients and research. The healthcare system here leaves a lot to be desired. I don't know about the doctors from those universities but I don't doubt they were partying it up in college. I always recommend flood insurance even when not in a flood zone. It's around $500/year and it's good to have just in case. The insurance issue is real here with the older roofs. Lots of issues obtaining insurance for many homeowners with a good amount of them being dropped. Thank you for your comment and all your observations living in Florida the past 9 years. Even with all of the issues, I personally think Florida is still a great place to live with more PROS then CONS but that's just my opinion. BTW - I can help you sell and get back up to NC if you're interested 😎
@Joyce Marie I'm glad I wasn't the only one to experience a bad VA experience in Florida and the horror or rising cost of HOI. I hope you find your happy place and all the comforts of life you deserve.
Lived there for 18 years..loved my pool..and the weather..but the people were nasty in south Florida moved because I lost everything from the lockdowns..I do
Love Ron DeSantis..freedom.of choices..
I didn't realize the UFC trained doctors.
We were thinking of relocating to Florida however after speaking to my husband we decided to remain in NY.

When you buy real estate, you acquire physical land or property. Most real estate investors make money by collecting rents (which can provide a steady income stream) and through appreciation, as the property's value goes up but Investing in the stock market makes the most sense when paired with benefits that boost your returns, such as company matching in a 401(k).
I have been investing in real estate for years but I think I'm not making enough profit as how I should and I would like to give the stock market investors a chance. Kindly tell me more about your financial advisor
@@angelahowie1451 I’ll recommend MARTHA ALONSO HARA for you, her strategies is working for me for more than 2 years. I’m making good profit from the stock market and she's 100% honest, reputable, and trustworthy.
Look up her name on the web and you will find her web page to connect with her.
The same here it’s been four months now since I started investing with her and it’s been a very wonderful experience
@@donnabrannan1448 I just found her web page very impressive and left a message for her, thanks.
My reasons for not moving to Florida is
1) heat
2) humidity
3) gators
4) palmetto bugs
5) hurricanes
6) my ex hubby moved there.
Really good reasons! Especially #2) and #6) 🤣
Lol those are your reasons GTFOH
And it's like Jurassic Park in the summer. 🐢
@@LIVSouthFlorida insurance and fkood insurance are very expensive I live in Texas we have to have windstorm insurance due to hurricane's and various other storm's
REDNECKS LIKE DESANTIS...
I am an 81yo Florida native of SW Fl. I really liked your video and the fact that you told the truth. Good man. I hope many people who are thinking of moving here will see this video. Over population is truly a big problem combined with speeding reckless drivers. I used to feel safe when I left home. Not any more. James Taylor.
I hope so too. I appreciate you watching and thank you for your time and input it means a lot. Our state is great in many ways but there are certain things that need to be figured out. I only see the over population crisis growing in the coming years.
Very true . Want to add little more . Florida has the lowest salary of every industries . If you make 50,000$ / yr , this is a good job in Fl . Most jobs pay less than 50,000. You can look at in any job advertising website . Don’t come to Fl to get a good paying job. Regarding gators , they are very intelligent reptiles . They will never hunt human unless you fall into the water . They hunt small animal . Floridians are comfortable to share space with gators in their community . But don’t walk with dog closer to pond or lake . Gator will hunt your dog .
So true , I’m from s fl and am now scared driving here in Sw fl it’s terrible how many of my friends have been in serious car accidents this year 😢
I’m also a local from West Palm and I agree that this is a great video and he kept it real.
@@coachtash thank you! People want real and that's what I'm going to give them!
We lived in Florida for a whopping 10 months because that is all we could take. Couldn't wait to get the hell out of there!
At least you were able to realize it early. It's not for everyone just like any other state. Where's home?
Wow! Only 10 months, but at least you are honest and not trying to sugarcoat it like I believe some newcomers do.
Wow I made it from Jan 2022 to Jan 2023! Couldn't WAIT til my lease was up. I left quick fast and in a hurry! Florida gave me PTSD. Hated it
Florida is the best !!!!
Exactly you were smart!these realtors are lieing about insurance ,HOA everything is high now! At least in New York city jobs pay very well! Beware! Not move!
I will say that I agree with all of these issues about living in Florida. I would like to add to that to say that unless you have an established career, finding work can be difficult despite all the jobs that are available. Easy to find jobs tend to be low paying or sales. Unless you are in a dual income household, you may find yourself working constantly without a lot of time off to enjoy the perks of Florida. I moved here from California over 8 years ago and ever since I moved to Florida I find mymself working constantly and make ends meet. I grew up in Los Angeles and I can remember having days off going out with my friends, having time to go to the park and sit there and embrace nature, and I don't really feel like I have time to do those type of things living here. Again it depends on each person's unique situation but as I said if you don't have an established career and you just want to come here and find a job and start living, It's going to be difficult without a good savings because it is expensive to live in South Florida. And medical care here sucks. Hard to find a good doctor with an HMO that's not booked several weeks out. You need referrals for everything and those take months to get an appointment...it's terrible.
and you have to be bi or tri langual. Spanish and French or your SOL finding a job.
@@tonibutts8828 we left Broward Cty. 16 years ago had enough of Spanish Spoken over the intercoms prior to English in Mall Stores Walmarts and Home Depot I couldn’t take it any more!!!!!!!
@@margaretrobertson967 I'm looking to buy a house in edgewater or daytona side I work walmarts overnights here In ny 19 hour would it be possible to make it down there switching from ny to there?
@karingoodman4999 I'm not sure the rent prices up there but in Southeast FL the average 1 bdrm in a decent area is around 1900/2k a month. I live in a 2 bdrm in Boca and pay $2500. Broward County which is Fort Lauderdale might be cheaper in some areas but it's not as nice and even a bit ghetto and more crime down there. If you wanna live in a decent and safe neighborhood wherever you go in Florida I'd wanna have at least 2k available for rent or mortgage and be earning 3/4 times that amount to be able to afford the other living costs and have a life. My roommate and I earn about 7500 a month between us and we're struggling. Bills are paid, but it's rough.
That's not true.
Totally agree. Been in Florida for 40 years.
Healthcare sucks. Insurance company went bankrupt, now have no house insurance because I'm required to replace my 16 yr old roof at 30k. Massive traffic issues. Housing shortages for renters. Unbearable heat and humidity. It's 90 degrees today and only April
Enjoy gardening? Forget that. Almost impossible to grow fruits and vegetables here once the temperature gets over 80 degrees
Have pets? Massive flea and tick problems
Like the beach? Red tide and seaweed problems with dead fish everywhere
People come here. Stay in their house with all windows closed and AC running 24/7. That's reality.
🎯🎯

th-cam.com/video/6vYwkFevPJ0/w-d-xo.html
No easy piece to live sw florida beautiful high rent crooked landlords . Good place to end up homeless as I did to many people today doesn't look good and tomorrow looks no better.
Totally Agree! People are in for a rude awakening if they move here.
I'd say this is overall pretty accurate. I dreamed of living in Florida my whole life after visiting various cities there over the years. In 2015 I got my chance and moved from the Midwest to Ft. Myers. Huge mistake. Housing is extremely unaffordable and sketchy at best. Good luck owning a home, the costs are unsustainable, and local agencies like code enforcement are more invasive than the wildlife. Overdevelopment goes unchecked, and the infrastructure is not up to the population explosion. Mosquitos and roaches infiltrate everything.
The brackish tap water is disgusting, and corrosive to plumbing and appliances.
Traffic is a nightmare, no one obeys traffic laws at all, and uninsured drivers abound. Accidents, impaired drivers, and severe road rage are a way of life. Insurance and taxes are outrageous. I rode out Hurricane Irma, and despite how the state pats themselves on the back for hurricane preparedness, it is largely disorganized, and when it hits, you are on your own.
They have the highest concentration of the rudest people I've ever met coupled with a noticeable bias in population diversity. Beaches are filthy and polluted, and perpetual Red Tide makes them unusable more often than not.
Health care is indeed expensive and inaccessible. What is available is a joke.
High crime and an ineffective, corrupt police force round out the list of reasons to stay away. Paradise it is not. Warm weather is the only pro, and believe me it is a small consulation that doesn't outweigh the cons. I left in 2020 which was the best decision of my life. Good riddance, you can have it.
How to say you are an ultra liberal without saying you are an ultra liberal!
I agree with everything! Spot on! Im leaving in April
Yea well you picked the wrong side of Florida to live. Move here 10 years ago to the East Coast and love it to death. Except so do all the invaders from the north that continue to move here. So now I find less used roads to travel to get from point A to B, but still living here as opposed to NY, well no way I would ever got back there.
@@vietnamvet4533 we feel the same way about all the Floridians who invade our area. I cannot imagine living anywhere in NY, not for any amount of money.
And if anyone wants to hear this @miker4332 statement over and over and over again, move to Florida where druggie rednecks think they're SO clever.
Just moved from the Northeast. Can't say I'll be here long. But if you don't try something new, you will never know if it's for you
I love that. Very true and hope you end up liking FL
thank god youre going home too many yankee refugees in florida

Thank you, LIV! Well produced video. I am leaving Florida. The cost of living is ridiculous, and public transportation is inadequate. If you enjoy the Palm Beach lifestyle and you can afford it, good for you.
I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching! We're going to miss you. Cost of living has skyrocketed here but so has all the other states.. right? When are you planning on moving out?
@@LIVSouthFlorida I'm thinking a couple of years. Yes, thins (the price of things) has gone up. No doubt about it. Nevertheless, studio apartments, here at Lake Worth, running for $1,600-$1,800 a month... that's to me insane. Many, if not most people, focus on the now, but in my case I don't want to grow old and bag groceries at a supermarket because retirement is not enough. I want to live comfortably when I get old. If you're rich and we'll off, and don't being freaked out during hurricane season, good. Unfortunately, I'm not. I grew up poor and every little thing I worked for. Excellent video. Have a great evening and God bless you!
i hear what you are saying, i lived in new york, everything got so expensive up their, i got sick of it, i work on my job 36 yrs , i went to visit my daughter, fell in love with it was much cheaper, went back to new york told my supervisor i was retiring , gave my two weeks notice and said see ya i didn’t evern want and office 🎉 party, been here since 2009 love it, i have a 3 bedroom townhouse 3bath rooms fence in back yard and a deck, and i love it evern got a small 🐶 dog oh and a beautiful area, this would be about 7or 8 thousand dollars in new york if not more, so if your city is to expensive look else where, i belive you will do better oh yeah my rent is not chocking me, and i have a nice fireplace 🔥… take care you all….

No state income tax but everything else is triple the price...so basically a trade off.
I'd rather be above water in snow than under water on a coast. Let's face it, the amount of people moving there is exceeding its carrying capacity and is beyond unsustainable.
I wish people would stop condemning snow too, and instead, learn its importance in food growth and nature's checks and balances.
Hot, flat, crowded...immensely overrated. Highways are loaded with imbeciles. No thanks.
Move to places opposite where all the sheep are going and in those places, discover a better quality of life.
Btw, most terrifying creatures are humans.
This video is SPOT ON! I moved away from Florida a little over six years ago and am so happy I did. My homeowner's and car insurance went way down. I don't have to deal with an annoying HOA. My father died due to incompetent healthcare practitioners there. Run, don't walk outta Florida!
Where did you move to?
Bro I’m sad cuz I like animals mostly reptiles and I live in California I want to move to Florida but not piss anyone off is there any way I could do that
@@theshageddy9456 I live in Florida and it's a big state. Been here since 2001. I would recommend that if you want to move to Florida, come to Florida. Of course you can do it. What type of lifestyle are you looking for? Big city life? Country life? Something in-between?
@@Gil_Gamesh prolly like sorta where there are lizards or whatever I wanna find the pythons did you hear they found green anacondas and Nike crocs in the Everglades now and there is saltwater crocs in the keys
@@theshageddy9456 Yeah, you want to be near the Everglades, like maybe Homestead area. I lived on the Gulf side near Naples. Yeah, I used to watch Python Hunters. I didn't hear about the crocs. Sounds like you'll love it here.
I’ve been in Florida for 18 years and I’m leaving. So much has changed for the worst. Home owners Insurance is outrageous if you can find insurance at all. Taxes that used to be affordable are skyrocketing and the healthcare has become awful. I recently lost my doctor of 12 years and the best I can find is a PA. It sucks !
He's right, ya know. Mold, bugs, biggest spiders you've ever seen, incessant storms, drugs, high priced, arrogant help/vendors, mean people, rednecks galore, prices out of sight, crazy people, theft- yes, you will get robbed... and believe all the rest. I didn't and boy am I sorry!
Rednecks galore lol you moved down here. Most of the "rednecks" where born here and can't move out because all money goes to being able to live. Everyone that moved here complaing I-75 goes north also! Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out
Don’t forget the worst shyster contractors on the face of the earth and poor work ethic by most.
Really good video making excellent points. We live in Boca Raton, and a number of the environmental issues are minimized if you stay East. Even iguanas are localized - some neighborhoods don’t have them, others are overrun. We escape to Michigan in summer - best of both worlds. Thanks for your analysis!
Thank you for watching and I appreciate it. I'm in Boca Raton too. Very true about being out east and the iguanas. Some don't have any and others are infested with them. Best of both worlds! I have many clients who have a summer home in Michigan and other states up north.

You forgot to mention the snow birds every winter crowding highways, stores, supermarkets, doctor offices, restaurants, etc. Since many are flocking to FL from up north, the traffic is unbearable, the demand for housing is driving the cost of houses, condos and apartments to nearly the level of CA prices. Sadly, the migration from blue states to FL is ruining our way of life and driving the cost of living exponentially.
Well you can move to Memphis TN and da brotha's runnin round will get you set up in a new neighborhood.
Facts!
@@wildestcowboy2668 No you move there! I think you guys are just as worse as the illegal immigrants!
It’s also bc of Gov Desantis who caters to the rich & crazy religious CN and doesn’t govern to everyone else. He ignores housing crisis, rental crisis, utility increase bc he gave utility companies a tax break, healthcare crisis, crime, food cost, hurricane disaster, high insurance.
He can do something if he was a normal decent guy who cares about others. He forgets he works for us. Don’t move to Florida.

I don’t mind people moving here as long as we have people moving away too. Unfortunately, the ratios don’t equal out but we’ll see these next few years 🤔
The reasons why ppl are fleeing the other states and cities are due to the cost of living high as paying $3500.00 for a one-bedroom apartment, not including utilities, crime rates are high in other cities, like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and DC. You definitely need a car to live in Florida.

Everything in this video is so true. The over crowding is terrible. The insurance is outrageous and the healthcare and doctors are the worst in the country. This state caters to the rich and has the Screw everyone else attitude. The only reason I stay here is for the weather. They say people come here to die. That’s a fact because the poor healthcare and unqualified doctors will definitely kill you. Good luck! Stay home!
A lot of people feel exactly the same way you do. Florida has its benefits like the weather. It really just depends on what you can live with. I personally have an issue with the healthcare industry here for various reasons. It doesn’t help that many retired and quit these past few years. I know several doctors that either quit and started consulting or moved away. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
When I first moved there I went to the ER and while waiting in a crowded room for a chest xray, the tech comes in and has me remove my underbra in the same room with plenty people and was talking loudly, the other nurse was ALSO talking loudly in a crowded room that they LOST a patient's STD results!! 😲
There are plenty of other states with good weather.
I live on $1100 a month. It's hard , but I would not leave Florida for anything.
@@leithsapitan1428 1100 in FL?
Just vote accordingly in your own state. Floridian here and it’s ruined by all the people that moved here. Everything is up!!! Car insurance, rent, mortgage, health care and it already sucks. And Floridians salary have not changed. Thank you for pricing us out of our own livelihoods.

I have a Friend that owns a home in FLL area and His ins and HOA doesn’t stop going up and always there is someone tailgating Him. Thank you for such accurate video and truthful comments.
I’ve lived here since 2006 and we love it. We’re 30 min north of Orlando where you can live on a lake for cheaper. I grew up in Myrtle Beach SC though, so I’m used to storms, alligators, heat, bugs, and tourist. Love the winters and just do yard work before 10am in summers. Florida is so diverse town to town. My Florida-native neighbors are super southern. My last neighbors when I lived east of Orlando were from PR and they were nice too. It depends on your tastes and where you go here.
Thank you 👍
Please stay away.
I live in south west Florida. Yes, you are spot on on everything mentioned especially bad water, HOA fees and humidity.
Thank you! I wanted to point out a few that I never hear mentioned.
Are you in Ocala, FL by any chance?
Hoa fees can be high nut harassing hoas are worse.

Sounds like a nice place to visit , not to live in . With all the issues other states have you make the Metro Boston Massachusetts area sound pretty nice. If I were rich , Sarasota for Winter , Beach in Maine for Summer.
Sounds like a great plan 👍

Hi there! Like your honesty and this video proves that doing better research before moving is needed. As a UX/UI designer from Europe wonder if it is possible to pay for a rent in Miami or South Florida in general for a single person being UX/UI designer. Wonder if salaries are ok to pay for a rent and save up some money
Great video! very informative and definitely helpful for someone looking to move!

I’m considering moving to Florida for one reason, seasonal depression. All these points you made are very valid but honestly I can’t stand the winters here in utah anymore and it seems like a small price to pay for my mental health. Also after leaving the church, the extremely low Mormon population is temping aswell.
You may want to consider certain cities in Georgia. Almost similar weather unless you go all the way to North Georgia and much less of the negatives
Seasonal depression is real. I cover that in my newest video on why people are moving to FL. If you need help or have questions don’t hesitate to reach out 📲
There are other warm states besides Florida. When I hear people talk about they can’t take the cold anymore what does that mean everyone is just going to move to Florida. Florida is on a slow fall from too much growth .
@aaron Bob you will have more mental health issues here! You might not get snow but when it is cold it is freezing! When it is hot you can not go outdoors cause you can’t breathe! It is like walking into the hottest sauna ever made. Your blood thins out, so you have family back home, your not visiting at all! There is 5 million and one Catholic Church’s, you at least need minimum of 300 hours of defense driving school 😂 every day someone is driving through a store, alway going the wrong way down a one way, u turn as soon as you are speeding towards them ! They can’t drive😂 thank god and knock on some wood over here I had a dad who was a police officer up north ( all his department moves here when retired) I actually have done defensive driving cause my dad didn’t trust me😂 I got sick during the beginning of Covid like before it was bad! These hospitals kept holding off surgeries till an ulcer blew up and my gallbladder burst! So now years later I still deal with health issues cause they are awful! Good luck finding a dr cause they are the ones who just passed by the skin of their teeth are in Florida! I could go on about crime but just watch a crime documentary bet it took place in Florida 😂 oh yeah also check out Polk county TH-cam with sheriff grady over there arresting everyone that works for Disney 🤦♀️
I get this. I got super depressed every year living in North Carolina. No bitter cold needed. Just the overcast weather and the lack of leaves in trees every winter.
I thrive in a hot climate where it’s always lush, green and warm.
I’ve loved Florida for 40 years.
Thanks for all the videos. They are super helpful
Glad you like them!

Takes forever to get anywhere around Orlando. Floridians used to honk and pass but now they’re just as distracted as anyone else.
And toll roads are on a lot of roads, not just highways. And I4 does have an express lane.I was surprised at the traffic in some of the small cities.
Having lived in Orlando in the past and frequently driving up to visit family and the theme parks. You’re 100% right. Getting around takes a while and there’s always traffic on i-4 no matter what time. Between the 408, 417, 528, turnpike, 429 etc it gets expensive getting around because of all the tolls.

All states have their pros and cons. you'll just have to deal with the cons. I lived in Florida way before the newcomers fell to arriving in the state, and I'm quite stunned at how the population has doubled since I moved out. "Key Largo" a song by Florida native Bertie Higgins, brings lots of fond memories of the time I lived and spent in the Sunshine State.
Yes, yes and yes 👏 👏👏
I'd say the population has quadrupled in the last 5 years...Never started the checkout line at my nearest Walmart, from the back wall of the store, before then...Now it's more common than not...Or having to go to a different Walmart because you can't find a parking spot for more than half hour...Miami is the most insanest place I have ever seen and I've lived here since 1957...I travel up and down the state a lot to my different properties and Port St. Lucie was a wonderful sanctuary years ago...Now it's almost as bad as Miami...I also own some property in Madison and thought of just renting Miami and retiring there...Well I went there in November and it's CRAZY...I mean, there's nothing there for miles and people are buying land and moving there in DROVES...Traffic in Madison was unheard of, now there's an insane rush hour to Valdosta, Tallahassee or Live Oak...Thank God I'm not claustrophobic, but it is suffocating to say the least...Thanks for the 80s memory of the "Key Largo" song...Now even the ocean is overpopulated...😂🤣😂
Yes, I not like that any more.I miss those days!!!
Also in Kokomo by The Beach Boys.

I grew up in S. Florida but left a long while ago. I still have family there and each time I visit, the state has changed so much so that I do not recognise.
- Major traffic daily- varying drive patterns from out of state retirees and foreigners.
- Over populated
- High rents
- Expensive homes coupled with pricey insurances
- Expensive car insurance
- bugs and mosquitos 🦟
- increase in alligators 🐊 and crocodiles 🐊. I use to walk and run along many lakes back then. I wouldn’t dare that now.
The charm of historic old homes, efficiency’s, antique shops, cinemas and historic buildings converted to shops- many I grew up admiring are all demolished for new bigger new towered homes/condos with expensive HOA’s. It was a different time and I enjoyed my years as a teen.
Amazing info thk you for this very truthful info, we wanted to come down but then you guys had Ian. I'll take my winters in NJ.
We moved down last year from North Jersey. For us our primary motivation was climate so we don’t regret it, but a lot of people do and move back North.
That means a lot thank you for watching. I always try to be as truthful as possible no matter the outcome. With that being said, I wouldn’t take the Jersey winters over FL! The winters stretch into May-June now so almost the entire year it’s cold except for a few months in the summer.
I use to live in Pompano Beach when I was single my mother owned a motel Business on A1A & Commercial Blvd. Back in the 70's. But we were looking to go to the emerald coast. But they get 60% hurricanes. The problem is without House Insurance it's a losing proposition.
NJ winters are milder now because of global warming. We don’t get any snow again. We are seeing more Florida license plates than ever! Floridians are moving to NJ in droves. I live in south Jersey.

This video is right on!! I mistakenly moved to Florida in 1994 from a small city 50 miles north of Albany, NY..
I had a lot of friends that lived here and after visiting them many times, I decided to move here. Worst mistake of my life!!! Well, after a while, they All moved back as I should have. I unfortunately didn't have the funds and my health was not good. I am now in a nursing home in the middle of the state, and just about all nursing homes have a rating of three stars or less. But that's another story.
If you move here, the scariest time of year is between June 1st and November 30th. - hurricane season!!! Your eyes are constantly glued to the TV for information on the next hurricane. Along with the hurricane, is dangerous lightning,
Tornadoes, very high winds, hail, and flooding. You can kiss anything you own Good bye!😮
Then, unlike NY and other northern states, don't think you can put on a pair of swim trunks and hop into a nice lake, pond or stream,😮 you can, but you will be EATEN 😢😢😢. alligator's, pythons, sharks, jellyfish, and other creatures too numerous to mention. Want to go on a hike? Not without a gun! We have bobcats,bears, wild boars, snakes, poisonous insects, ect. Want to take a picture of the cute alligator? Don't stand too close, they can run 30-40 mph for Short distance's. They will beat you back to your car!😮😮😮
Well, there's plenty more I could tell you, but I don't have the time or space to continue. My last suggestion is to NEVER EVER move to FLORIDA. Nice place to visit, but you DEFINITELY don't want to live here!😮😮😮
Thanks for your comment and you’re very right about many things! Sorry to hear about your experience over at the nursing home. Hopefully things improve for you. 🙏
I pray good health upon you Sir…You made laugh when you were explaining the animals eating one up😂😂😂
My parents live near Lake Apopka. I thought I was stepping on a large log, it was an alligator. Don't let your pets outside, the alligator will eat them.
As a New Yorker that has been thinking about moving to a Florida I took your comment very seriously and also funny. 😂 wish you best of luck with the nursing home situation
@@fr7198 Thanks man, 🙂 but I'm serious. Hope you make the right decision 😉.
Lived in central FL for several years. Now in north FL near Tallahassee. LOVE it here. Less traffic, lots of parks, 45 minutes from the coast. Close to GA & AL. Also the leaves change in the late fall. Im originally from the Northwest, so the biggest downside of FL (the WHOLE state) is the long, hot summers. It basically feels like summer for 6 - 7 months of the year.
Being up there close to the panhandle you get a little of everything and it's not so Florida if that makes sense. You're close to GA and you get more of the seasons which is nice. Glad you're loving it.
I lived in Idaho for a few years while in the military and it was great once I got used to the balmy Winters.
I'll never forget getting there after being home on leave in Minnesota and it was a record cold of -10 to just north of Boise. Never mind I'd just left -40 with a -85 wind-chill.
But still, by 2 pm it was almost 45.
I live in south Florida. We now have summer 10 months out of the year and at night. Climate change has made it worse.
Central FL like Ocala, Fl? Just wondering if you can give me any pointers because I am considering to make a move to Ocala. Thank you.
@@sashalawren598 I lived in both the Orlando and Tampa area. I like the FL Panhandle area WAY better. Ocala is just ok i think. I like to eat burgers at Freddie's in Ocala.
I had really a dream to move to Florida since I heard there would be at least a little rain every day , so I was forcing my husband to buy a house in Florida for the retirement life , so we visited Florida 2 yrs ago and fortunately we saw some small to medium aligators ( in one of the small lakes in Tampa ) and we came to know it's a usual scene in Florida although not very common , so we dropped out the plan of buying house there but we purchased a home in Houston , still I was missing Florida , but after seeing this video my regret is over , thank you so much for the facts you presented
Bol! And alot of people are moving to Houston, especially from Florida.
WRONG!! Where are people finding all of these alligators? I’ve lived in Tampa since 2017 and still never saw ONE alligator yet.

I have always loved Miami and have really loved watching it recover from the bad years of the 70s and 80s, and become the shimmering, vibrant, lovely metro that it is. But I'd only consider Florida for winter residence, because the summer heat and humidity would do me in, and the hurricanes are terrifying.
I living in Florida and I love it! Won't move to any where! But it's come down to your personal decision and what is best for yourself and your family.

To much build of homes and no infrastructure to keep up with the influx of newbies. This once was an ok place to reside, not anymore. Sad, so sad.

Hey thanks I started watching your video 💯
Hope you enjoyed it!
Excellent video. I can add a few thoughts living outside Miami nearly 60 years. Just expressions we've all heard about Florida. Like God's waiting room, the sunny state for shady people, Florida, where if the United States ever needed an enema, Florida is where they'd put the tube, Florida, full of shifty people who can go in a revolving door behind you and come out of it ahead of you. There's the usual floriduh. All aside though a pretty nice place to live, especially between Halloween and about Easter. Rest of the year is about like being 3 feet from the sun, plus add the humidity, but at least here a breeze and can happen but rarely goes above 93 in the summer. Love the quirkiness of a lot of people here, to most people do no harm, generally leave you alone, don't care what you do, etc. Glad I don't live in a hoa though, heard about the condo commandos who can't exist without stealing money from the hoa and thinking they can have power over you to live exactly how they see fit, rarely enforcing the rules equally, and better yet won't live under the rules they force on you. I guess ok for some but don't want no part of it. Just ask anyone living in one how much the "special assessment" letters are feared on top of the usual fees.

I am moving to Sarasota in July. I love Florida summer. Had a house in Naples for years. All these videos lead me to one conclusion: I will keep my home in KC, and, renting a 2/3 BR condo in Florida is infinitely less expensive than owning a home. I still cannot believe how expensive my 3 BR house with pool and hot tub was 2003- 2012.

What state and city/ Town is the best place to liv when your retired?
It really depends. In FL, the further north the less expensive it gets. I can’t speak for other states
This was very informative. Can you make a video that discusses the different areas and regions in Florida? I know north Florida is different from the south and so forth
Yes that’s in the plans. Which regions would you like to learn more about?

@@LIVSouthFlorida Can you please make one on Ocala, FL. Thank YOU.
I used to love the slowness about everything in Ocala, now it's like living in Orlando, since so many people have moved here the greedy builders is building on top of each other, lots of people don't know how to drive down here, it's like the Daytona 500, now the locals that's grown up & finished college still can't barely afford to buy or build a home, the Dr's & Healthcare is all about the money, it's a business to them, that's why folks don't like to go to the hospital, even if you have insurance you still get about 4 to 5 different bills because of the multiple physicians that treated you while in their care, the ambulance ride is a killer, that's $889 straight off the top, that's highway robbery,I missed the old days when you could walk to the stores & it wasn't crazy

To be fair you had a lot more people already before you moved so you prob saw an improvement. I couldn’t stand the smell of mold everywhere. I’m allergic to it and it was ruining my life.
I lived in florida and moved to NC 16 years ago , I was planning to go back and Jonathan opened my eyes and reminded me the reason I left that state for good be aware that if you move to florida most of your pay check wil go to pay real state and car taxes and insurance your power bill will be high due florida been so hot food is expensive schools are bad in most areas you will see your self working to live in a house that you won't be able to spent time on is not worth it also rent prices are outrageously over price Try living in north carolina or south carolina is 35% cheaper here than it's in florida you won't regret it.

Home prices, taxes and insurance is too much, add another rip off HOA.
Home prices are high across the US post COVID. Taxes here are middle of the pack and definitely lower than the Northeast or California. Insurance is high here due to all the insurance/roof claims and HOA could be high depending on the community and amenities.
Now living in Florida for the past few years, living in a northern state is looking pretty good now. Florida has turned into a nightmare for residents and there are so many reasons as to why. Probably going to move back to Pennsylvania eventually and I'll be glad when it happens.

Very good video. Thank you for creating it. The people who commented below mainly agree with you. The point I really don't understand is why people who want a warm climate pick Florida. Why not Georgia or the Carolinas? And to be honest, if they live in the midwest and hate winter then the mild winters along much of the eastern seaboard would still seem like a major change for them. I moved from a location with very cold winters and sometimes major snows to a location where there is winter but by comparison, very mild. Yes we could get an unusual snowstorm just as Florida gets a Category 3 hurricane. And while snowstorms can cause problems, they usually just keep you from driving a day or two and force you to stay home and relax. Unlike hurricanes where you often fear for large scale damage to your house. If you don't like shoveling then hire someone to do it for you. You're going to pay at least $3000 more for insurance and likely that much more for property tax so you could easily contract someone for $1000 to plow you driveway and shovel. The local guy does my driveway for $50 and last winter I only needed him to come once.
All valid points. I’m thinking they pick Florida because want a warmer climate on a consistent basis vs Georgia or the Carolina’s that have more seasons and get colder in the fall and winter months. Not too mention that Florida has no state income tax and is more tropical than said states. The feedback I get a lot is that in northern states it’s cold and gloomy half the year and in Florida we don’t experience that. While a good portion of the country is freezing and stuck indoors in the winter, in Florida we’re out having fun, at the beach, golfing, boating, walking/exercising, going out to restaurants etc. Thank you for your comment and I appreciate you watching! 🙏

I’ll keep my snow for a few months over hurricanes and such 😮
If you like the snow and cold than that works. I know too many people that are over the cold and how long it's cold and dreary. Usually it's about 3 months but I've heard the past year the cold ran from October to May (almost June) 😳
He'll it's already March and I'm in MD and haven't seen anything yet but a lil flurry so far. I'm with you I'll take so.e cold and snow over all that heat, rain and life taking storms!

Really informative video. I don't think I could take the wall-to-wall people or the bugs. And Florida's real estate is way too expensive. But I wouldn't want to move to New York or the rust belt either. I'm content with living in west Texas, which hasn't been "discovered", yet.
@Debed ... way west of Austin; the trans-Pecos.
Great Video! I live in Florida and this videos has got me Scared!! LOL. Hopefully it keeps people out to avoid bigger population as the video intended. LOL
i am here after gta 6 trailer and they exactly same as florida lifestyle
thank you! man for all explanations , Great video 💖
GTA 6 looks incredible! Glad you liked it. 🙏
Thank you for the enlightening words. Been here 15 years, left NYC and never looked back. You covered many of the little things that turn people off, (bugs, critters, and heat) I tell my up north friends NOT to move to Florida if they cannot do without skiing, ice skating, fancy cold weather fashions. I hope NOBODY ELSE shows up. 😊
I love Florida. Moved here in 2006 from MB SC.
We hope no more show up as well like dang they made it bad for the natives here!
I love videos like this. Maybe it will convince weak-willed people to stay in their state instead of moving down here and complaining about everything.
I grew up in Myrtle Beach SC and moved to Florida in 2006 (Lake County) and absolutely love Florida!!!! I don’t like cold and love all the options here. Some parts of Florida are super southern or country and other places-opposite. It’s great!!!
Where in Lake County do you live?
EXCELLENT video !! hats off to you !!
Thank you! Cheers!
Raised in south FL. Left after 65 years. It's hard to restart. This channel is very accurate. I wouldn't even go back for a visit.
Thanks Terry. After 65 years!? That’s a very tough restart but sometimes we need a new beginning. Where is home?

Lived in a large popular master planned community , builder was advertising in NY, NJ. Down they came within 3 yrs most moved back, this was 2006. Florida is cyclical. They didn't fit in, thought it was boring, chain restaurants, bad food, little entertainment, beach gets old after a while.
There's a lot of master planned communities being that there has been so much new construction in the past 25 years. If you don't live out east near downtown there's definitely going to be family chain restaurants. However, it's gotten so much better the past 10 years. I agree... certain parts of FL are boring but I also think it depends on what you find entertaining. I have clients that left and said Florida wasn't for them and I have many that love it here and wouldn't move back. It's all subjective but you make really good points. Thanks for your comment!
Was in the Margate area for a week in 2004. Weather was nice in December but hated the area . Block after block of chain stores . No hills , no curves , all streets laid out in a grid , each block looked the same . It was Gods waiting room for the elderly.
@@rbspiderespecially in Margate 😂
@@AlexandersOut why didn't you warn me. I went down to setup my mother inlaw for the Winter . She was excited to show me a dollar store where she could get greeting cards on the cheap and took me to a place to eat where they had some special running for seniors. It was the first time I ever ate an ice cream outside in December , being from the north that was something we never did two weeks before Christmas.

Mississippi is much worse- I lived in Delray Bch worked for healthcare facility, and thinking about returning bc this cold weather up north plus my SAD is wreaking havoc on my mental capacity to cope! The reason I had to come my mom asked me return, and now she’s deceased, I’m making my way back to the warmer weather again.😂❤
I’m sure it is worse 😂. I’m sorry about your mom. If you decide to come back to Florida let me know and we can help you get situated. Thank you for watching and stay warm ☀️
Lived in northwest Florida for 35 years. Moved to Mississippi to be closer to family. I feel ya!
Spent a decade in Mississippi one year.

Lol Floridians have a weird view of snow. I grew up in Florida and live in Minnesota. "We get hurricanes but at least we dont get snowstorms." Hmmm well on one hand... I can have flood waters, no electricity, downed trees, broken windows orrrr a gorgeous landscape covered in white snow perfect for sledding and general winter activities. Tricky choice lol. Here in MN we plow and salt the roads pretty efficiently. And it doesnt take a lot to shovel your driveway. Just get a snowblower if you live anywhere that gets over 40 inches of snow. I lived through Katrina and Wilma and I will take shovelling my driveway for a little bit versus you know... losing power lol. Snow is awesome. I welcome it.
I see your POV. If you like outdoor activities and being out in the snow then you're in your element. I know snow being from Jersey and how annoying it can be with daily life. Our hurricanes aren't that bad other than Ian in the past few years. Losing power sucks and for the major hurricanes we usually drive out of state and make it a vacation. Many have generators too so it doesn't affect them. I wouldn't want to be stuck in cold for 6+ months. That's just my personal opinion. It's nice to visit but I appreciate being able to do all of the activities I want all year round and if I want snow I'll take a trip. It's all perspective and what matters to you.
@@LIVSouthFlorida Well to be fair, NJ handles snow differently. Outside of like Maine and New Hampshire, the East Coast that wintry. I mean it snows and you can get nor'easters and all but it usually melts within a week where as here it snows in winter and it normally wont melt til early spring. A snowstorm in MN is not a big deal. Plus we are so far north we are Canadian Lite lol. Hockey and snowmobiling is in our blood. I am actually disappointed I havent been able to play ice hockey or go ice fishing this season cuz the mild weather.
Snowstorms on the East Coast are more desruptive. All though not as bad as ice storms that hit the South.
But I also dont think we have 6 months of cold. We have 4 seasons. As long as its above 0 I dont mind the cold. My fav temps are the 40s-60s which is how it is most of fall and spring and weather like that is rare in South Florida lol. When it gets that "cold" people don on jackets and boots and act like its freezing lol When its that "cold" here I am either gardening if its April or May or picking pumpkins and apples in October and wearing a light flannel. Thats another thing I dont like about Florida. No fall colours. I will take a maple tree in fall over a palm tree.
To each their own but doing the same activities year round sounds boring to me. I love ice skating on my local lake in January and swimming in the same lake in July.
