This thread doesn't change how I feel about anything though, Texas cities can be important as they want to be, I still feel like South Florida is the more attractive area. Beautiful teal water, plenty of palm trees, the whitest sand you will find in the country, Spanish Mediterranean style mansions sitting right on the beach, it really is paradise if you can afford it.

If thats what you want to draw from it, fine.

Its not exactly the conclusion I would draw from that data alone. I would say that South Florida is obviously the most popular.

Florida was definitely one of the worst hit states during the recession, all of the stats you've seen in the last couple of years make it look horrible. I believe things will start to even out in the future.

Lol, everybody has their own opinion, speaking of hot and humid I definitely wouldn't want to live in Texas unless I'm right on the coast.

I agree, but I don't think Florida will see the explosive growth that it once had. I see more modest growth now. But, places like Miami have been losing people domestically for a while...since the 90s actually.

yeah, true. but the difference between texas and south florida is it actually gets cold in texas. that's why i can tolerate living here because i know i can look forward to atleast a few weeks worth of winter weather come november and december

i've never been a sunshine and flip flops kind of person. i like wearing caps and coats lol
