Of course you can compare crime rates. NY/Oregon/California/Illinois/and many more states are trying to defund the police and the state attorneys are not prosecuting non-violent crimes, you get a slap in the wrist when robbing a store now. Remember the new Illinois law that just went into effect Jan 1: “As the calendar turns to 2023, Illinois was set to become the first state in the U.S. to completely eliminate cash bail for defendants awaiting criminal trials.”.
Remember the quiet riots in Portland that happened everyday for a year where they demolished the city with fires. Let me check if Florida had the same type of riots.
Besides crime, taxes are much cheaper here, no state income tax here, housing prices are nothing here compared to the west coast or northeast. Electric costs/water costs are much cheaper here, I was paying over $100 a month to water my lawn years ago and other places you aren’t even allowed to water your lawn or wash your car.
