Pay cash for 5000 square foot house with a swimming pool in Houston, go to work for big oil, start cranking out Russian/Asian crotchfruit, enjoy diversity, buy sportsball season tickets and crew cab Duramax.

The general essence was there... Def not Houston but maybe Denver/Austin/Portland/Charlotte/Raleigh. We're also both for some reason quite fond of florida :wtf: but that is even more :fullretard: than cali.
Also 2500 sq ft tops. We don't need/want a mcmansion. Also I don't truck but I enjoy :jeep: 's which are almost equally retarded.

I like parts of FL, basically the middle coasts. Inland gets way too hot and the top and bottom are :fullretard: with hillbillies and Guadeloupe.

It's a strange state. I need to investigate it further.

It's like cali but flatter, far more criminal in certain areas... :shock: In a lot of ways you can "retire" there for a really decent price, as a large portion of the populous is poor, and it keeps the price inflation now. Cali's tech boom has really caused some major inflation that the right coast hasn't seen yet.

It holds some attraction for me in terms of the inland waterway as boating recreation. On the Pacific side it's pull out of the harbor into big water. Swimming in gator country though. .....no thanks.

Who would swim with the gators ... I dunno there are a lot of "stereotypes" about florida that are simply "not true" and some that are, the gators being everywhere+nasty bugs or whatever, in most 'Normal" places that is not a thing. Just like a lot of stereotypes about japan are not true as well... it is not a "weird" country by most standards, and they are not "short".

We lived in Palm Beach County for 6 years.....we liked it waaaaay more than I expected we would. We were 10 miles inland but I'm sure you could afford to be a lot closer to the H2O. :waxer:

Climate wise, South florida is very different from points north. It is tropical and in many ways feels like you are on an caribbean island.

I always really enjoyed the gulf coast as well. The towns over there are older and more established and it feels way different from the East.

Fun Fact: Palm Trees are not indigenous to Floriduh, they were imported...... you see nary a one in the interior of the state......

Oh yeah..... the summers are brutal....but you get used to it

And really its:

air conditioned house
to air conditioned car
to air conditioned office
to air condiditoned car
to air conditioned house

Rinse (in the pool) and repeat

And the rest of the year is glorious...... Swimming from Saint Patrick's Day through Thanksgiving.

I must say (as a northern boy) it was weird as hell putting up Christmas Lights in shorts and a tank top.....
