I expected a state like Florida, that is a peninsula bordered by two huge bodies of water, to have better and more affordable seafood. To my surprise, I learned that much of the seafood served in Florida is actually imported from the northern states, with the exceptions being things like local snapper, grouper, redfish, and shrimp. Forgetting about food, there are many things in the Villages that positively blow away living in Massachusetts, with the one major exception being quality health care. The Boston area offers extensive access to some of the absolute best health care anywhere in the entire world. The Villages on the other hand has a substantially subpar and overstressed health care system. That alone is the deal breaker for us ever becoming full timers.
Isn't that due to the difference between cold and warm water seafood?
