NY Vs Fl
We are native Floridians who grew up here but spent 20 years in Syracuse. Our thoughts on pros and cons:
Pros:
Yes, it is really hot here in TV for 4 months but then you have eight months of really great weather. Syracuse summers were awesome but way too short and winters were way too long with little sunshine. Unlimited social activities here to include the entertainment at the squares and at the Orange Blossom Opry in Weisdale as well as the Savanna Center. A lot of previously very important folks live in TV but you would never know that talking to them. We feel safe and isolated from most crime in our community.
Cons:
Got used to contractors being honest, reliable, punctual and competent in New York. Not sure I can say the same for many contractors in FL. Having said that, thankful for TOTV comments and "Citizens Against Crimes" to help us pick good contractors and deal with the crooks. Our kids and grand kids are grown but NY schools are the best and FL schools leave a lot to be desired. I miss the ethnic festivals and food in Syracuse.
Pros and Cons to both places but I would never move back to NY even though I always say central/upstate NY is one of the most beautiful places we have ever lived. Just too much snow!!!
