I wouldn't live there on a bet, but that's because I've actually been there, and seen, rather than merely looked.

florida wet season

Thousands of Florida newcomers (not, unfortunately, Biden Newcomers™) are reported to be fleeing the state after discovering that it’s hot, has hurricanes and alligators, and worst of all for New Yorkers, conservatives. What didn’t they notice when they first came down to look the place over, if they did come down?

I’d add that most of the state is nothing but endless, flat scrublands punctuated by stripmalls, but I’m picky that way.

The best line I’ve heard about Florida came from my bestie, Jeremy Kaye, who, back in 2008, during that state’s real estate collapse, told me that he and Lucille were heading down to Miami to look at condominiums. “Why would you, or anyone, want to live in Florida?”, asked I, and he replied, “Chris, I’m Jewish, so I’m going to end up there anyway, and you know how my people feel about bargains”.

Tee hee.
