Florida might be fucked. These storms will get worse.. and then WORSE. And more frequent.

106. I'm in the Cap District of NYS. We don't get many extreme weather events at all. I will inherit my mom's condo in

southeast Florida (5 miles inland) and I’ll be putting it on the market the minute it’s mine. I can barely stand to go visit her, but she is 95 so I don’t have much of a choice. We’ve had winter homes in Florida since before I was even born and I’m 67. Always loved going down during the winter but now I’d rather stay here or go to an island instead for a few weeks/month.

I live in a suburb of Albany and my homeowners is dirt cheap ($144/ month) as is my car insurance ($185/month for 2 cars.) We did invest in a whole house generator because my town is very treed and one is always falling on the wires and I don’t like to be out of power for even a minute.

We have great schools, too, and my area (and my town) is solid blue. Don’t have to worry about any nut jobs getting in office, or on our school boards.

Property taxes are high but we get great services for the money. So no complaints from me. And no state income tax on my husband’s 6 figure pension.

I invested in a super warm winter coat and warm boots (expensive but worth it) so I don’t even mind winter anymore.
