Reply to comment by rxbandit256 in These NJ counties saw the largest population drop as residents migrate to other areas by madrid987
florida was nice until a few years ago when they allowed scam roofers to sue insurance companies into BK and now home insurance is like $10,000 and you need a new roof every few years and there is only the state insurer. the republicans there literally turned the insurance industry into socialism there

I'd move to texas if I had the chance or the western carolinas too

It’s really not that bad. Family just purchased a new build in FL, $5k for homeowners and flood ins. Which sounds high compared to NJ rates but their $2k a year property taxes certainly make up for it. Other family has an older home on the other coast and pays about the same amount, and even less in property tax.

when i was in the army I visited a few states and met a bunch of people from around the country and a lot of places outside the northeast are pretty good to live in. many of the places I visit now have a bunch of good ethnic food too

The days of dirt cheap living in Florida are certainly gone, but same can be said about most of the country.
