These are all true. In fact, they are understated. Stay the hell away from Florida, it is horrible.
3. It's full of transplanted yankees.
I don’t spend anywhere near what they claim you have to spend on pool maintenance.
I cannot argue with that, just glad I won't be one of them.
We're celebrating that decision too.
There was literally not one good reason on that list. And I can think of some good reasons.
Pools are expensive? That’s like saying don’t move to Minnesota. Fur coats shed on the sofa.
There’s old people there? Well...isn’t this article talking to potential retirees? You know...old people?
There’s no income tax...but there’s sales tax. OMG!

Come to visit and then leave. Pay those taxes on your purchases so I don’t have to pay on my income.
I plan on retiring up north and annoying the hell out of New Yorkers and Canadians.
Drive real slow in the left lane with your blinker on.
Don’t forget the hazards on while driving 20 down the interstate in the rain.
I don't either. More like $20 or so a month,not including electricity to run the pool pump.
Sea, do you still get to snorkel in nearby springs? That is a childhood memory that reminds me of Wacissa, Wakulla, and so many other of nature’s treasures in N. Florida.
a lot of the springs in Central Florida are on public land & still accessible. There are a few you can no longer heft to, including one that is the source of Zephyrhills bottled water. It had always been a public swimming hole, even though it was always on private property. Ten or 15 years ago the owners shut down the access to it, I imagine at the request-demand of Nestle (which owns the bottling rights)
Probably the reason why the % of felons isn’t worse. How the F can 10% of your population be a convicted felon.
LOL. On I-10 near my house, when it rains the information signs say "Wipers on, flashers off"
California. Arizona, Texas, and Florida are popular
states for retirement. They all have a warm climate.
However, there is more to retirement than a warm
Winter. Which of these states has the lowest taxes?
Which of these states has the best medical facilities?
Which of these states has the most reasonable housing
costs?

Don't choose Wisconsin. The cheeseheads are worse drivers than the old farts are in Florida.
No shit............I spend about ~800 per year on Chemicals and about $300 on the water.
Because in the South it's a scarcely hidden way for the Republicans to continue to control the states. They disenfranchise black and other minority voters by overcharging black "criminals". Study after study shows that when whites are alleged to have committed a crime they have a substantially higher percentage that are not charged usually due to "pretrial diversion" opportunities that are not provided to blacks and other minorities. Then not only are they charged substantially more often but they are overcharged to felonies as opposed to recovering misdemeanours for the same exact allegations.
