Having been born in the Territory of Alaska and spending the next 60 years there I can say that I now very much enjoy the Florida weather. To correct one of the posts, the government does not pay you to live there. A small percent of the oil revenues is set aside in what is called the Permanent Fund and each year, depending on the market, each resident receives a portion of that funds earnings. It was a wonderful place to grow up.
