Listen up, New York -- Florida sucks, and you'll all be back in five years

8. It's hotter than a wet hell here.

if you weren't raised in the searing heat and humidity it can be impossible to deal with. So, unless they are rich and can live on a lake or beach with those nice breezes, they will be unbelievably hot and uncomfortable. And the cars where there is no shade - Oh my - the plasma that is the driving wheel can't be touched with the hands. It will sear them! You have to have wheel covers and always use the big sunshades across the front of the window. People in FL have perfected the art of driving with their finger tips, lol.

It's where my family is, it's where I own a decent house and it's where I was raised, but if it wasn't for the family I wouldn't be here. I'd be back in CA where I lived for 20 years until mom and dad needed my help. Now I've lived here for 50 of my 70 years and really like our space. However, if things go bad, or if the kids move away, we'd sell and move to CA. and build or put a path, trailer and electricity on some of our friends empty land. At least, that's the plan since our friends moved out of NZ.
