FLORIDA. It’s always Florida. People want to vacation there not live there. Anytime you see an insane news story about the most idiot person on drugs running through grocery stores naked, crashing a trailer, getting eaten by an alligator...it’s ALWAYS Florida. Aside from a few wealthy enclaves, the rest of the state is dirt poor and corrupt. Full of drugs and criminals.
Why do you think Carole Baskin lives there?
Except not really. Those are just ridiculous anecdotes. You think anecdotes actually reflect the quality of a state.
I've been living in the panhandle for the past 2 months and its quite nice. Florida is huge. It's a low tax (actually zero state income tax), business friendly, state with amazing beaches and even better weather. Saying Florida sucks because of those goofy news stories is ludicrous and you know it. Have you ever actually lived in FL?
I’d have to agree with him, Florida kinda sucks. It was pry a great state at one time. And it isn’t “huge.” It’s a mid-sized state with no topography so it is actually smaller.
Texas, however, is worse. The funny thing about Texas is the inordinate amount of pride Texans take in their state. When I was a kid hearing Texans talk of Texas, I pictured something like Montana. Imagine my disappointment when I first visited.
