I really recommend North Florida, from about St. Augustine north, as a
great place for northerners to relocate.

First, real estate prices and most other prices are lower than in South
Florida.

Second, the climate is better. There really are seasons, albeit the
winter is mild.

Third, there are many beautiful uncrowded beaches.

The downside is that the area is parochial, and infested with right-wing
religious nutcases. But you can avoid them for the most part.

Finding your neighbors are running meth labs and let their pit bulls
run loose is probably a bigger concern, but I know what you mean.
I was raised a Baptist, but haven't been in a church for years, except
for weddings and funerals.
Even less chance of me going to church down there with all that
rattlesnake kissing going on.

The first and only time I ran into snake handlers was in Loudoun County,
Virginia, near Dulles Airport. I took a wrong turn while driving to
Dulles and found myself on a lovely little country road. On that road
was a little church where the faithful were involved in an outdoor snake
prayer fest.

This was in 1970 or so. I'd bet that church is long gone by now.

For the first year we lived in Florida, not a week went by without some
uninvited church representatives knocking on our door and asking all
sorts of questions they had no business asking. They really were obnoxious.

I am a 5th generation North Florida native and y'all aint invited to
come spoil my little corner of paradise. Although I am sure the
people of Wyoming feel the same way about me buying property there,
there is litle danger of Wy becoming overpopulated. So, yankees and
south Florida refugees, stay away.
On a boating topic, I took my Tolman Skiff over to Dog Island today
from Carabelle, beautiful water, hardly anybody around, it was
wonderful. However, the sight of the damned condos that have been
built on the old boat yard and my favorite oyster bar makes me realize
it wont be long befoe its ruined.

Some southern hospitality that is.

Probably last longer than SW Florida. My first trip down there was in
'78. Real pretty. Cape Coral had @25k people, Pine Island was
undeveloped, and fishing was terrific from bridges, canal banks, and
boats. By '85 it was all a mess, and I never went back.
What you need down there is about 5 years of heavy hurricanes to turn
those condos into reefs and clean out them Yankee carpetbaggers.
Al Gore just might have something in mind to take care of that.
Looks like he's already set fire to the place.

I cheer for hurricanes, Gods way of cleaning the beaches of condo
filth.
However, our dumb ass politicians have made those of us who are smart
enough to not own property on the coast pay for those who think its a
good idea. They have made us inlanders help to subsidize the
insurance of those who want to live dangerously on the coast. Thus,
former boat yards and fishhouses have been turned into condos inviting
further financial disaster such that several companies refuse to
insure in FL at all because the state demands they insure unsafe
properties on the coast. I don't ask non-boat owners to help pay my
boat insurance, why should I have to help pay for dangerous coastal
property?
Southern Hospitality: C'mon down, stay awhile, THEN LEAVE.

Uneducated a**hole. Got any interstate highways near you? Maybe we
should cheer for earthquakes, so your highways are destroyed, and you
are stuck in your little redneck town, eh?

I prob have more education than you. That said, read your own post,
"your highways", they are publicly owned, not private like condos.
YES, more hurricanes, clean "OUR" beaches. Make people pay their own
costs of living dangerously. No subsidies for the rich yankees. Fewer
rich yankees, we need fewer roads. Run Disney out of FL.

Don't let Harrie get to you at all. He's stuck in name-calling mode.

The interstate on the west coast is the kind of development that
destroyed much of the natural beauty of Florida. I used to vacation
there by trekking down 41, and argued with my dad about the
interstate.
He had a small auction business on 41 near Ft Myers and wanted that
interstate bad. I said it would f**k up the natural beauty and bring
crowding. I was right. And he went out of business due to mega-store
competition.
You're mouthpiecing the Chamber of Commerce if you think all commerce
is "good."
This is an endless philosophical argument, but I see frogsters side
and essentially agree with him regarding Florida.
No different in many respects than folks not wanting a nuke power
plant down the street.
And some places are barring new construction on ocean fronts.

Busted highways put more union members to work. Shortsighted response
