In my experience, the (FL)ocals are a miserable group of bastards.

A lot of them haven't traveled or really experienced life outside of their town so to them they just don't understand why people are moving in droves.

If you have a decent career that can transition to Florida and won't have to live in a shithole, very few states can beat it IMO. Granted there are probably only 8 people in this world who hate the cold more than me. If it's below 60 I whine like a child without a nap.

I didn't leave because of seasonal depression but I left because the cold sucks balls and I hated it (despite being someone who plays hockey all year).

Weather splits a lot of people, I know plenty of people who would rather eat dirt then live in a place with no seasons and I have people who live vicariously through me during the winter months up North.

Leaving family and friends can be tough but unless you have the personality of a gently used toaster strudel you'll find new people to click with.

Cougar hunting is a sport.

Milf spotting is a hobby.
