body88, I spent 41 of my 44 years in Boston. I know exactly what Boston (New England) weather is like and the summers are getting shorter and shorter while the winter (cold months) are getting longer. Boston still has occasional snow in March and April (I remember specifically getting 3 feet of snow on my daughters birthday in April). When I said fall lasts a week I was referring to the change in leaves colors. You blink, you miss it and don't tell me differently as I stated...I lived there. The 90 degree weather you are referring to comes as a heat wave and lasts maybe a week. Air is so thick you could cut it with a knife. The cold comes in mid September and by Halloween you have to bundle the kids in parkas so they don't freeze while trick or treating. I don't hate Boston (New England) and its nice to see changing seasons, but I'm done living 75% of my life in temperatures under 60 degrees.
As far as the pay, that would depend on what you are doing. I make far more per year than I did up there...which I thought was weird too, but like I said...it depends on your job. Even my sister who is a medical assistant and phlebotomist would make 2x more money here than in there.
You stated Florida is "backwoods" but the majority of people I have met down here...are from the North East...Boston, New York, New Jersey, etc. 
As far as the cleanliness. LMAO I started to say maybe Boston's focal point of places such as Government Center, Haymarket Square, etc would be kept clean...but then took it back because to me...they have always had trash and whatnot spew around. Back Bay is nice at times, but has it's moments as well. Let's talk about the neighboring towns such as Somerville, Chelsea, Charlestown, Roxbury, Mattapan, Lawrence, Dorchester, Revere, Lynn, Malden, Everett, ... cripes I could go on. Granted I don't live near near Florida's capital (Tallahassee) but the only place I have been told is a place you don't drive through due to "safety" considered "ghetto" is Belle Glades (and I'm sure some parts of Miami). Historically, yes it has beautiful architectural buildings...Florida's tropical buildings are beautiful as well. The pink, salmon, beige, cream colored stucco and clay roofs look amazing from the sky. Everything looks alive when flying into PBIA...while I cannot say the same about flying into Logan. Even the water looks different.
Everyone's opinion is obviously different. But having actually lived in both places, my opinion is that Florida is (for me) the best place to live.
This post is hilarious.....not even worth arguing with you. Back bay is ok 'sometimes", come on . The cities you listed are not even in Boston, so not sure what they have to do with Boston, like I said the run down areas are located outside the city. The winters are getting longer? Most of the people from Florida are from the northeast, and there is not a huge white trash population? Florida cities rival Boston architecture and history? You can make more money in one of the worst local economies in America? It's under sixty 70 percent of the time here? I don;t know your post is pretty extreme, and not very accurate.
What part of Boston did you live in? Btw, I have spent more time in major Florida cities than you have apparently. I know a thing or two about the state. I admit based on climate/tropical beaches Florida has Boston beat, but I'm not you can compare things like History, schools, hospitals, technology and carrer oppurtunies (post grad).
Just my .2 it's all subjective anyway.
