I'm from the north, moved to the south for many years, and then up to the Northeast.
Different places have different positives and negatives. I liked the south a lot and liked how nice everyone was, but after awhile it dawned on me that just because someone is nice to you face doesn't mean they don't actually hate your guts.
I prefer it in the south where you say "hey" to everyone instead of ignoring each other like we do here, but I do understand it's not all genuine.
I also hate the northeast wrote:

I live here, and I agree. I will not try to change your mind. I am from New Hampshire and now live outside of Boston. People here are awful.
That's garbage. Boston and MA are 100 times friendlier places than they were in the 60s, 70s, 80s.
I miss the old surliness sometimes

That was pre-Big Dig.
Florida is crazy and doesn’t have the same genteel pleasantries that the rest of the South has, so your judgements you have of Boston & NYC are invalid.

Florida is inhabited by a large amount of northeast retirees.

I have spent several weeks and traveled throughout the northeast numerous times including going to NYC more times than I can count.
Every time I've been there I have been somewhat repulsed by it. I can't imagine how someone would want to live there or tolerate the culture. Everyone is simply hustling for themselves, little to no regard for manners or the feelings of others, and a lot of times blatantly rude. The only appeal I can see is that there is always something to do and new places to be but it doesn't make up for living somewhere where the weather is constantly dismal. It literally looks like everything, the weather included, is the color grey. The Massholes are some of the most obnoxious people on earth.
Despite being a southerner I am left leaning by still enjoy the style of life in the south where everyone greets each other amicably and takes everything slower. I got scoffed at simply for asking a waitress in New York "Do y'all have sweet tea here". Someone please change my mind.
I am from the south myself (live in Chicago now) and I hope that you were joking when you wrote that you went into a restaurant and asked the waitress if “y’all have sweet tea.” If you are serious, please stop embarrassing the rest of us with your hick buffoonery. I know I shouldn’t be too harsh, but you sound like those people from our region who go on vacation and go into restaurants talking loud and carrying on with the waiters (or trying to), thinking it makes you look sophisticated, while the other patrons are trying hard to ignore you, although it’s impossible. But as I said, hopefully you were not serious.

South Florida is basically NE USA. Were you from north florida or something? If not, you're no southerner.

My relatives all live in Florida so I've been there so many times. I'd rather kill myself than relocate to any area in Florida.

If you need a friend, get a dog.
I live in Pennsylvania and the weather here sucks so much. The past three months of running have been absolutely awful. I dread walking outside in the morning because I know it's either going to be freezing cold, very windy, raining, cloudy, or snowing. There has only been one day in the past three months where I actually remember enjoying the weather. Every day I think about how much better of a mood I would be in if it was summer. I want to move to South Carolina.

Oh, and fûck country music.
Northeast is for hillary loving democrat pieces of trash.
The Northeast has forgotten Hillary sorry you have not.
Yep. Living in the big cities will make you crazy. Of course, places like LA are just as bad. You really need some open space to remain sane.
As a city person, I would say simply that you don't "get it"
They hate us ‘cause they ain’t us.
You’ve got to love the irony of a guy from the self-described “amicable” south starting a thread bashing millions of people.
