As a native Floridian who moved to WA to enjoy the Great PNW here’s my top reasons for leaving FL:
1. Lack of Seasons - being from FL I had no idea how much I missed out growing up not seeing the leaves change color or that 1st snowflake of the season. I’ve been missing out for years & I can’t go back to sun sun and more sun.

2. The terrain is boring. The hills of Tallahassee aren’t enough. When you wake up & see the Cascades, Olympics to your left & right & then see Mt Rainier in the distance it draws you in. It’s a magical feeling. That flatness for days gets old quick once you’ve been exposed to mountains…

3. The weather. It’s either hot hotter or scorching. Yeah there’s January where the temps might dip into the 30s or 40s for a couple nights, but then it’ll be 60 or 70 by the afternoon. Too many coats I’ve invested in to go back to that. And don’t even get me started on the humidity & thunderstorms. You literally only have a few months out the year to enjoy any outdoor activities.

4. Lack of Public Transit. It’s pathetic. All that flat land with no light rail to show for it. Brightline is cool…but that’s not practical for everyday use in the cities. Sun Rail is a step in the right direction for Orlando & Miami’s rail system is impressive…but that’s not enough. And Jacksonville & Tampa? Ha! Forget about it…it’s strictly all cars. All this growth that FL has, it needs to get with the times. ASAP.

5. If you’re not in Orlando or Miami, & you don’t like the beach or bar/club hopping…FL’s vibe is kinda boring. Either you’re retired or with your family in your gated community & sheltered from the world or you’re overpaying to stay a few minutes from a beach that you barely use most of the year. Or you’re doing some “Down South” activities that will make you think you’re in GA or Bama. Or you’re in a sketchy part of town that you really shouldn’t be in…

My advice: spend some cash, stay in a Airbnb in FL for about 2 weeks in July/August/September. Explore the state from top to bottom. Talk to locals. Natives, not Transplants. If you like it more than where you’re from:move there. If not, look elsewhere. It’s as simple as that. 💯

I used to work at a prestigious pulmonary hospital. For some reason, we get a MASSIVE amount of people coming to get treated for black mold infection from Florida which to be honest, like 25% are basically terminal. We can prolong their lives but where they lived has started the process of them dying from spore/mold infection. I don't know how to combat this in Florida but it is the #1 state for this type of infection and all those people end up moving to Arizona to prolong their life before they succumb to the infection.

Florida is falling apart, in nearly every demographic known to man. So glad i left years ago. It has become the state of diminishing returns. It's not worth it.

Greenland's ice cap is melting. Sea level is rising.
In 50 years all of Florida will be under 30 feet of water.
