    I've lived in Florida most of my life, more than 50 years, and here's my insider take on the current situation. While it is true that there is no income tax, state and local governments have found plenty of sneaky ways to tax residents. The property taxes (run by the counties) have gone through the roof, and if you plan to live here only part of the year, you have an additional property tax burden that year-around residents do not have. There is a major homeowners insurance crisis going on. In the past four years, our homeowners has gone from $2100 per year to $8000 this year, and I expect they'll try to bump it to $10,000 next year. We do not have a mansion, we have a small single family home! Part of the problem was a poorly designed law that let homeowners assign their benefits to a construction firm, and then the construction firms would do excessive repairs, the insurance company would balk at covering these overages, then the construction firms sue the insurance companies to make up the difference. Multiply that by tens of thousands of lawsuits and a series of devastating hurricanes in the past five years, and the insurance firms were forced to raise their rates. But now insurance is so high it is more than some people's annual mortgage payments. Two of my neighbors have sold their houses and moved out of state. When they say "everyone's moving to Florida", but there is an existing housing shortage in Florida, guess which homes those new people are moving into? The houses of people leaving Florida. Other issues to consider: it is now more than 100 degrees for weeks/months on end in the summer, with 90% humidity. That stuff can kill you. When I was growing up it rarely hit 100 degrees here, but not anymore. Cost of living: the author of this video is correct, the daily cost of living in Florida is very high, groceries are much more expensive, electricity is more expensive and you cannot live without air conditioning, fuel is expensive, too. An additional cost that is rarely mentioned is that tropical weather is hell on buildings, and home repairs are expensive here. And...we have an absolute plague of short-term rentals in Florida, driving down available housing, driving up housing costs and rents, and generally not being fun to live near.

      @@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq fuel is more expensive here in Atlanta but I use much less of it because I don't have to travel 20 mins to get anywhere. Atlanta is really bad with sprawl, but Florida is ridiculous with sprawl. Raleigh is actually the worst city for sprawl, so location is important for gas use. I am born raised Floridian and I don't think I could move back, people there are just kind of mad about everything, very different from the Florida vibe I grew up with. I think it Atlanta is the first stop on the Florida exodus.

    As a 29 year old it’s wild that more people don’t see these prices as outrageous.
    We seriously need to as a country to build more affordable homes like we did post WWII.

    My husband and I just moved from the Northern Virginia area where we’ve lived for over 20 years. We wanted a slower pace for retirement. We just built a home in a small but growing town just outside of Savannah Georgia. We love it. Short drive to historic downtown Savannah with all its great restaurants and shops and beautiful oak trees. Less than an hour to the beaches, two hours to Charleston or Jacksonville for a day trip, beautiful islands and marshland surrounding coastal Georgia. And if we get really home sick for the big city or I need a serious shopping fix, Atlanta is just four hours away for a weekend trip. Plus the mountains are about five hours away if we really want to get away from it all. Our retirement dream come true.

    Having lived in Salisbury MD long ago, it's almost unfathomable that it made the list. It was such a small town! You had to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to get there because Salisbury is on the Eastern Shore. We spent hours on that bridge on summer weekends in traffic jams. It's a long bridge. In Ft. Myers we were in a community that was built on reclaimed swamp land. The mosquitos were completely in charge. Perhaps Ft. Myers has done something about that by now. Average home prices don't necessarily reflect the condition of homes. If homes need extensive updates, they will actually cost much more. That also applies to new construction if lesser quality materials are used. People should ask lots of questions when buying a home. I have always enjoyed Jerry's videos and appreciate the points he highlights.

    I had loved living in North Carolina for the past 30 years for so many reasons. The weather is lovely most of the year, the people are friendly, housing has been affordable and cost of living is reasonable. Well, my love affair with the Raleigh/Durham NC area is officially over. I wish I could afford to move somewhere else, but the cost of housing and the interest rates keep me in this area. The influx of new residents has been overwhelming and unmanageable on every level. The infrastructure cannot handle the growth, the traffic is horrific and there is construction EVERYWHERE . Additionally, the bedroom communities surrounding the Raleigh/Durham area are also overcrowded, the schools are unequipped to handle the growth. Even the newest schools that were recently built have children attending classes in trailers. It is quite evident that no thought or planning have gone into handling burgeoning growth. If you are thinking of moving to this area, I would think again.

    Moved to Myrtle Beach 3 years ago, the growth here in just 3 years is mind blowing. Too many people here now with major increases in traffic congestion. They are cutting down trees like crazy to make room for houses, so many developments have gone in in just 3 years. The secret is out about this place and all it has to offer and the influx is making it way less desirable to be here than just 3 years ago. Myrtle Beach gets 19 million tourists each year which makes April - September crazy busy everywhere you go.

The majority of council members at the city and county levels are involved in real estate in some form or another, so every development is getting greenlit even though there is little infrastructure to support the expansion. There are not enough doctors for the number of people now - it's impossible to make a medical appointment unless you want to wait months

    I've lived all across the U.S. and none of the places listed have the climate that the west coast does. It's no mystery why California became so crowded and expensive.
    It doesn't matter where you live if you don't have the income to afford it. The 'affordable' places are also going to have lower incomes. So, it all depends. What do you want from life and how do you go about getting it? Life can be simple, or it can be complex. At least, in this country, we have choices.

    We live in a 55+ retirement community in the SC suburbs of Charlotte. Low property taxes with homestead exemptions for those aged 65 or older. The 55+ communities are exempt from the school tax, resulting in a 50% savings in property taxes. The $15,000 exemption on non-Social Security retirement income is per person. SC recently rebated up to $800 per individual taxpayer due to it running a surplus and they have lowered the maximum state tax from 7% to 6.5%. Electric rates in our area are between $0.085 to $0.095 per Kwh and gasoline prices are currently below $3 per gallon.

I settled in North Carolina; 10 years in the Waynesville area and now in Mooresville /Lake Norman area (20 miles north of Charlotte). The weather is great most of the time; winters are mild and summers can be hot but this is the South... This has been a very popular area, many new homes are being built. I just wish the infrastructure would keep up with the increasing population; the main thoroughfares through Mooresville desperately need to be widened but have been put off many times by the DOT. We will be moving back to the mountains of NC in a few years when we retire; the Asheville area is our destination.

      Why would anyone want to live in Myrtle Beach fill time rather than get a much better deal inland for much less money? Condos are a sucker play because you don't really "own" anything in terms of control and when things go bad your recourse is limited. I've seen many people make that retirement mistake falling for what the rest of the herd does. I enjoy SC and have lived here most of the time since 1985, but living in a tourist trap would not be my choice. I live inland far enough hurricanes aren't an issue (Hugo was educational...) and can visit where I like while owning a small but comfy six acre property with low taxes and trivial overhead.

    The best thing you can do is move to a place no one else is interested in---usually a podunk place without a lot of crime. Then you can work to make the place better and better. However, be aware that as soon as you start making improvements, people will want to move in and properties will go up in value, meaning things will start costing more. My DH and I started improving our neighborhood, which set off a spark and everybody else did the same. Suddenly everyone wanted to buy the property out from under us, taxes went up, and property values went through the roof.

      The heat relates to the climate change we aren't having. The governor is wacko and the concept of the "Villages" for retirees is failing for many who thought it a wonderful idea. People should be looking for a more temperate climate for retirement. Like say the Santa Barbara region. Best climate I've ever lived in. Or do some reading about becoming an expat in Europe. I lived in the Languedoc-Roussillon area about an hour from the Mediterranean beaches. In a small town. Prices about the same as in Canada 🇨🇦
      Try fresh raw oysters on ice right next to the shore. With free white wine. We brought along, baghette, butter and Tabasco. If you ever wondered how the sea tasted, your first taste of a raw oyster will tell you. We went in early February on a nice sunny day and didn't need coats. Better than Florida any day.

    I own a home in FL. I also have one in Michigan. I can say Florida is not what the good press has suggested. Cost of living is so high it cancels out the benefit of no state income tax. Florida is spectacular nears the coast during winter months but a tough place to be during summer. I wouldn’t choose to live here year around. House costs are extensive and they find a ton of ways to tax you to make up for the state income tax loss. Surprised Ft Myers made the list. They got destroyed in the last hurricane.

We looked for houses around Franklin TN but decided on Hendersonville because Hendersonville is on a very nice lake and houses in Hendersonville are probably $100,000 less expensive than Franklin for the same house. Plus, Hendersonville is in Sumner county which is one of the most conservative in the state. I recommend Tennessee.

    Boise isn’t “ really “ affordable anymore !
    It has pushed us locals out
    If you look at the income and wages to cost of living you would be shocked
    Minimum wage is 7.25
    Micron and Hewlett-Packard are some of our major corporations here
    They are laying people off because we are in a recession
    We have one of the highest grocery taxes in the nation
    Not everyone can sell their home in California and move here and not have a mortgage and buy a sprinter van

    There are more people moving away from Boise than moving into Boise. It was a pandemic boom town and now those people are either being called back into their offices, or people are realizing Idaho isn't for them. Housing prices are dropping!

    The video depressed me. I have been to all the cities I heard you mention, except Salisbury,
    MD, and am from Houston. The property taxes, constant flooding, and terrible traffic are things you forgot/negated to mention about Houston, Texas along with lots of crime post Hurricane Katrina. Also the high utility costs in Texas as well. Houston has a great medical center though, likely 2nd to none. Charlotte seems to be the only worthwhile city you mentioned. Boise is in the middle of nowhere, Fort Collins is better option in Colorado since 2 hours from Denver and an hour from Cheyenne, WY with its own job market too. Greenville is in... South Carolina. Great to visit (Hilton Head, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, etc.), but not for young professionals or people with kids (education system).Atlanta and surrounding areas are a better option, given your stated reasons to move to Greenville, SC, than living in Greenville. I currently reside in Big Canoe, GA and can reach the city in an hour or the Smokies in 3 hours, or Savannah in 4 hours, or Hilton Head Island in 3 hours but have access to better jobs, country living, and better schools. Florida's costs of homeownership is ridiculous. Also, hurricanes, flooding, and drugs are problematic. If you pay $752K to live in Franklin, TN... you must love TN.

      I see no issues here in Fulshear. Extremely safe, with little to no crime and top schools. If you live in 3rd ward, 5th ward, Sunnyside, Pasadena etc this would make sense. Places such as Cinco Ranch, Woodlands, SugarLand, Sienna etc. Have very little issues besides the summer heat. I moved from Thousand Oaks, CA and my only regret is not moving sooner.

    Summerville South Carolina neighborhood Nexton/Midtown 👏☀️❣️I’ve lived in MO, CA, Austin TX, Nashville, NM etc… and I love this place the most for the cost of living. The only thing missing is a sense of close community, but for me that’s been missing everywhere 🙃 (need more spiritual centers & less churches in my opinion!) The front porch colorful homes here are awesome and the weather is great. Only a few hot months in the summer but I’ve had my windows open daily the last 2 months here! Great weather!
