When I was forced to move from California, my new home had to have several criteria. Florida fit most of them. Strangely, earthquakes don't scare me. Never have. The idea of hurricane winds terrifies me, so coastal Florida was out of the question. When I visited a friend here while looking for my new home, things fit. I liked that the people looked happy and busy. I liked that I hadn't aged out of the job market (of course, I didn't realize that salaries were at starvation levels). I liked that TV had very little litter. I liked the convenience of stores. So, it was partly Florida laws, the location of TV and TV itself.
