The State of Massachusetts didn't have to ask me. The Blizzard of '78 was all the push I needed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I didn't move there till 1995 and my wife was born and raised there. Besides the snow, ice, and cold it made best sense to come here and leave taxachusetts.

Year round sunshine. Plenty of golf. And low taxes.

However we treasure every day we spend in TV, and always look forward to the winter season. Yes, I am one of the dreaded seasonal residents.

I feel your pain----it must be horrible to be banished to the frozen tundra 183 days a year. (Do you get an extra day here in leap year???) Maybe you could find the satellite camera at Ice Station Zebra. Better yet, maybe you could find THE LOBSTER you owe me

Here's the short list....the weather, the weather, the weather!!! Add to that NOT enough to do, especially in the winter THEN add taxes to these and that's our reason(s) for coming here!!! Plus the cost of living in FL is cheaper!! Yes, we're full time!!

I see a hefty " Exit Tax " ahead for those who are pulling up stakes from one of the Northern Heavy-Tax Dependent States .

I liked where we were, but my wife wanted one story house. She wanted warm temps. We don't play Golf, but I like the ethnic and location social clubs. Seh wanted to move here because some old neighbors way back lived here and she wanted to work on Shoebox.
Have our own pool, none nearby. Nice to walk out an into pool, can grill most any day and can eat out with birdcage keeping out the bugs. A big advantage is no State and County Income Taxes, but Property taxes higher then our two story plus basement in MD. Another bad feature is having to pay water, (well), swer (septic tank) and trash, took ours to the dump or transfer station, so those are added costs. Like Golf cart transportation though! I do miss doing my own garden work though.

If winter weather was the only/main reason you moved to TV, why didn't you just "Stayput & Snowbird"? |

No reason to keep a house up north when we could snowbird with family. Didnt only move because of the weather but also because there is no reason to pay high taxes to educate the snowflakes anymore.
TV has its benefits but it cant shine a light to the activities, culture, dining and real entertainment you can find in the northern urban areas. Its nothing more than a clean, well managed city....with lousy pizza and terrible bagels and few people who know what a knish is. |
