I was trying to think about some other things that are better in Fl. You can golf and play tennis and pickleball outside the year round, if you can take the summer humidity. This is a stretch, but if you are an offshore sport fisherman with a decent size boat you can get to the Gulf Stream offshore in about 3 miles from Miami and I guess about 30 or 40 miles offshore from Daytona. The Gulf Stream has trophy fish like Marlin Etc. From New York to the Gulf stream would be MUCH further.
.....Also you can watch and bet on Jae Lai (spelled wrong) in Miami. You can see armadillos in Fl. and NOT N.Y.
