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.

Out west, you should NOT even try to HAVE a grass lawn to water. Smart people have gone to all-rock "lawns" to save their money and not waste water. Leaving more for drinking and fighting fires. And again we talk about a problem caused by TOO MUCH population. Florida SHOULD encourage rock lawns.........they ROCK.......sorry, I could NOT resist.
