Florida is only nice about 4 months out of the year. Otherwise you sweat like a horse and could get zapped by lightning. And lots of bugs.

Great gramma Rod live most of her life (from in her 30's to 102) in Ridgecrest, Ca. right on the edge of the Mojave Desert in a 40's style trailer house cooled only by a swamp cooler. She loved the heat.

My older brother moved to Florida one fall and planned on making it his permanent state. After spending one whole hot muggy summer there he said that was enough and moved back to Mn. .

I've been in just about every state and they all have things going for them.

Until 20 years old? What is wrong with education in Florida?
They have liberals teaching nonsense. Yes, I knew it got really cold up north. We had millions of snowbirds every winter that attested to that. I had never experienced a cool morning in April until I went to school in Tennessee. Have seen it 95F at 7 a.m. in March in Florida. And the real revelation was going out west and feeling the dry air. If it wasn't so expensive we'd retire out there. West Virginia has really gotten hammered economically but there are still very nice towns there. Can get a decent house for less than $80k in a lot of places. Considerably less in some. And the scenery is great.

A liberal paradise.
I can honestly say after driving today into California on I-8 then up I-15 to Ontario that I can see why Makaveli defends his state so ardently. L.A. and San Francisco might have their problems, but what I saw was beautiful. Can't afford it, the traffic is too heavy for me, but I can see what all the fuss is about. I've been up and down I-5 alot, in and out on I-10 and I-40, but that stretch on I-8 from Alpine to El Cajon is something else.

In some places.
Almost Hell in other spots.
They have a serious opioid epidemic in much of the state. But most of the population isn't into that. Definitely a tough place to get a job.

If you go to the downtown area of Martinsburg I’ve heard the addicts are walking around like zombies.
Drove around and ate in Beckley, which I really liked. No zombies detected!
Have read negative things about Martinsburg on City Data.
