The grass is always greener on the other side of the street. As a distance runner, we hate running in the 80's.....that's life.

No, but in Orlando you do have oppressive heat/humidity, hurricanes & tropical storms, not much scenery, no mountains, flooded streets on occasion, too much traffic and plenty of old/slow drivers. Lived there, suffered that.

I'm in NC right on SC line and it's 29 right now with freezing rain expected tonight and tomorrow. Thunderstorms Sunday with temps at 61! I'm further south than you in VA and you're warmer than me! Hmmm.....something's not right with this picture!

I agree , SoCal weather is the best, but the population density and cost has kept me a visitor only.

Winters are very short in NC, and you are likely to have a 70* day in every month, Dec - March.

You are right regarding Florida's wet air, but when you consider Cali's traffic, crime, overpopulation, very high taxes, high priced real estate, ridiculous regulations, including car inspections...I will take the 'wet' air any time!

Destin is like a second home for us, wife and I've been going there for vacation since the late 70's (Jetty East). I'd move there from NW GA in a heartbeat. It was 68 this morning when I went out for the paper about 7:30, now it's 50, supposed to be in the upper 20's tonight. BUT..still better than snow!

I was in that area with my parents about 1974, dad was looking at a retirement town home where they were planning on building a golf course. There was pretty much nothing there at the time. It was right by the area where hwy 98 got wiped out by a hurricane (now scenic 98). Unfortunately he didn't buy in. Seeing the changes in that area over the years has been amazing.

That Miata guy is so hardcore... Seriously, that's insane! We complain around here if it's under 50 during the day.

Everyone, well most everyone, loves where they live because that is where they live! I live in and love Florida. And, I love its four seasons, Summer, Tourist, Love Bug, and Hurricane. It is all good no matter where you choose to live. It is when it’s not your choice that things turn ugly.
