OP, with all due respect to Folks from California, I'm really glad TV is not California. I have several friends and relatives living in California and have visited there several times but no desire to live there. I love to visit San Francisco. Growing up in a small midwest town, maybe California is a bit too diverse for my liking. That said, We have met some very interesting residents here in TV from all over the U.S. and the world.

I understand that about half the sales are to Florida residents. The Midwest and Northeast are well represented in TV. California already has a warm climate and it's a long way to Florida so why would they retire to TV?

Many residents I talk to came here for the warm climate and many (not all) for the golf. While working at a State University I met people from many countries and cultures, they are all welcome here in TV if they wish to relocate.
