Any Florida Getbiggers?

[El Diablo Blanco]

I've been in Cali for close to 20 Years.  I'm sick of fucking paying close to $2000 a month in State Tax, then still paying $3.29 a gallon of gas when it's in the low dollars everywhere else. We get fucked 50 ways until friday out here.

I've been seriously considering Florida but want to know what Cities Getbiggers can recommend to live in.  Don't say Miami.  I love Miami but your dollar doesn't go as far as other cities when it comes to buying a home.

The key for me is a city with a good airport since I travel a lot for work.  So no hour drive to a decent airport.

Thanks

There are many pockets of nice areas near the Fort Lauderdale airport. Search with Zillow.

Your best bet would probably be central Florida, as you have both Orlando international and Tampa international airports within about 60 to 90 minutes of one another, depending on who’s doing the driving

The fact that you say you love Miami tells me that you don't know the real Florida.

Near FLL airport?  Ghetto.  Palm Beach County?  Pill heads.  Aventura upper class Jews.  Hollywood middle to lower class old ass Jews.  Ft Lauderdale largest gay population in the US currently.  Daytona?  Meth heads and bikers.  Kind of redundant I suppose.

If you are hell bent on coming to live here, try St Pete.  It is on an upswing and you can still find really great deals.  The downtown waterfront is nice and vibrant (when people are allowed out).  Tampa is on a decline.  Sarasota is nice and all for middle agers.  Naples is beautiful but kind of slow.
Basically it comes down to where you can find employment at.

I like the look of Mount Dora. Bit of History and a great gun shop with Gators roaming around.

After a wedding, I stopped at Mount Dora for the first time as an adult since going there a few times as a kid, and it’s a pretty cool, little town. Had some breakfast at the Lakeside Inn. Would definitely like to see it during Christmas time

Are you still down here? I remember all of the Fort Lauderdale World Gym stories you had. I’m currently at the northernmost part of Palm Beach County away from all of the above listed.

Yes, I am stuck here for the rest of the year it seems.  All my travel gigs and vacays have been cancelled.

[Coach is Back!]

I would assume any district besides where this retard represents should be fine...

I'd say your best bet would be in broward (fort Lauderdale) or palm beach county (Boca Raton, Delray) area or the Tampa area if you went to the west coast.  I personally think central FL is miserable.  Hot as shit, red necky, touristy around Disney.  Not a great place IMO.  I live in Boca Raton.

Floridian here

I went to college in Boca Raton ...settled in Palm Beach Gardens (love it here! It’s like Boca without all the assholes) I’d recommend Jupiter/Juno Beach /Wellington....lots of areas have gone downhill ( stay away from Boynton Beach/ Delray Beach now/ Riviera beach /West Palm Beach ) south Florida is where you want to live (vacation in “ the keys/Marco Island/Sanibel Island)

I just moved to Melbourne from Pittsburgh about six months ago. A lot cheaper to live here than Pittsburgh. Gas is about 1.90 a gallon right now. No state and local taxes and weather is great unlike Pittsburgh where it rains practically everyday. Very slow paced and laid back which is the opposite of Pittsburgh. No one is in a hurry to do anything. Still getting used to that.

The rough roads in Pittsburgh are horrible and that raised highway is a mess.

That is an understatement. The winter wrecks them with all the salt and plowing. Weather sucks there. Barely ever any sunny days and can rain for days. Glad to be gone.

I was shocked by LA when I went there last year. Shocked. I live in London and think its a dump, LA is next level.

[Jadethegladiator]

Melbourne/Viera.....love it! I take it back, Key West is the best!

I live in FL and all of these New Yorkers and Californians are moving here for the same reason as you and then voting for your same liberal bullshit here. I'm looking to leave soon.

Kind of makes moving here pointless,will be another over regulated and huge black hole of taxes in the next 10-15 years.

LOL at people mentioning Broward county, if you are tired of the Californian way that place is a joke unless you are gay or Hispanic.


Edit:lurkernomore said it all,there is no decent place to live near an airport here. And don't even look at Jacksonville either,place is God awful.

And do you love the retarded GOP Governor there now?  He is the most erratic, reactive person ever.  So fucking clueless in what he's doing.

This is what I’m afraid of.

Here was the other option. A meth addicted, stuck in the closet socialist versus the guy from Yale and Harvard with a solid approval rating. What’s your choice?

DeSantis is great! I now get medical marijuana thanks to him.
