“We are full up. The weather is miserable. Hurricanes are constant. Mosquitoes carry away children. Alligators carry away adults. Do not come here.”- Gulf Coast Native.

"if you don't mind the humidity" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this guy's argument. Plus, sure, the Mississippi is technically freshwater, but you wouldn't want to drink it

I'm pretty sure I can speak for most people living in the Gulf Coast area; any negative spin this or any other non-Southerner can cook-up that keeps people from moving there is fine by them.

Living along the SELA gulf coast I can say the heat is NOT pleasant during the summetime haha. Does feel amazing in the fall and winter though. The culture down here is also amazing as well as the food!

Hello From the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Pascagoula to be exact. I moved here about 8 years ago. I was force to retire on Disability. Anyway with some of my health issues I can not handle the Midwest winters any more and being on disabilty I am on fixed income and cost of living is much lower here. and one of the bigest reason is MS does not tax my retirement, and where I used to live in IL they taxed me bigtime. I really enjoy living here.

Geoff is confused. I live in South Louisiana just north of New Orleans. It is NOT comfortable here. The only cool months are Dec, Jan, and Feb. Those are our big tornado months on the Gulf Coast so not much of a tradeoff. Most of the rest of the time is super humid and miserable. Only indoors in the AC is it comfortable.

The oil spil was British Petroleum. You need to react to BPs oil Spill.

The lighter blue seas that you see are the shallower parts. That is how far continental shelves extend out past their respective shores. At various points, depending how bad of an ice age the earth was experiencing, much of it was dry land. In fact, east if the UK, there used to be much more land above the sea. Scientists named that area Doggerland. Sometimes prehistoric human artifacts are brought up accidentally from that part of the sea. If I recall, it became submerged at the end of the last ice age, when sea levels rose from melting glaciers, over 10, 000 years ago.

Live in northwest Florida, the town I live in has grown from 30k to 42k in the last five years. It definitely a great place to retire.

I grew up in Katy Texas (west of Houston) and now live in bay city Texas. I love the gulf coast area. Climate is really nice mostly mild winters and hot summers. Just wanted to mention another reason people are not moving into the Louisiana coastal area is because it is very swampy there. In fact, look up Highway 10 it has one of the longest bridges in Louisiana.

I live in this area. It's a comfortable mix of a big city and town. I have Pensacola 1 hour west of me and Tallahassee 2 hours east of me, but with a major air force base here, we feel hardly like a small town.

[fastfishwater]

That place is hot and muggy like 9 months of the year and extremely tornado prone, I would not call it “comfortable” but has a warmer climate overall

I’ve lived multiple places on the Gulf Coast and there’s some nice things about it. But I’d say I wouldn’t want to move back because 1) weather’s not just hot, it’s quite humid 2) not enough seasonal variation or real winters and 3) too hurricane-prone.

[noladr]

Lol, I live in New Orleans. Our weather is an asshole for most of the year, the humidity is insanev(over 90%) from like April to October. Plus, sometimes we have to deal with hurricanes. BUT, I do love my hometown of NOLA and will never leave it. I also spent a few years in Pensacola, FL (same weather and only 3 hours away from NOLA via car), but the beaches there are insanely nice.

[jefferoni]

The light blue area just shows where the continental shelf ends and drops off into the deep ocean.

[danielbrannan]

Nobody ever mentions that here in Louisiana we were hit by Hurricane Katrina and a couple weeks later Hurricane Rita hit us. We experienced 2 major Hurricanes in less than a month. I really wish people were taught about Hurricane Rita.

[Jeff]

I lived in New Orleans for five years until Katrina. Most summer days were 99/99 (That's degrees Fahrenheit/percentage humidity). At night it would drop to as low as 95/99. I lived in a fourth floor walk-up with no a/c. You do get used to feeling like a salamander all the time.

As a northerner (Wisconsin), some reasons that keep me from moving South: insects, snakes, alligators, intense heat and high humidity, hurricanes.. I also very much enjoy having all 4 seasons here. I love the colors of Fall, peaceful snowy quiet of Winter, rainy Spring, and warm Summers, even though it's brief.
I couldn't live somewhere without seasons. Living near the great lakes is like living near large freshwater Seas, and don't feel like I'm missing anything by not living near the golf. 😂

Pensacola here 👋 we are deff growing in massive numbers over the recent years thanks to some new companies moving here, and I believe Mobile, AL is also seeing some job growth and improvement

[eldorajohnson]

I live in south central Louisiana about 45 minutes north of Baton Rouge. Born and raised here. Like not having huge cities around. Foods good. If you do not like the weather, or heat, do not move here.
