Ok sinatras, I’ll give you one here… I just got my annual street lighting assessment and it’s over $300 added to the property tax bill. I mean, we need street lights (I guess?) but over $300 per year on that seems absurd.

With all due respect, you live in San Diego. I assume that you use a quarter of the electricity a Floridian does; your temps rarely go above 80 degrees. Most homes there don't even have AC. The AC in Florida does NOT stop running for at least 8 months of the year; you literally cannot stop running the AC here lest your home and its contents get eaten up by mold.

I think I would happily pay $400 a month for electricity in San Diego; at least the windows are open, the sun shines, there's little humidity/sweating/mold. And I can plant flowers without them frying in one day.

I wish you would stop saying Florida...like you're talking about the entire state of Florida

you're talking about Tampa, where you live

Where I live...in Florida... is nothing at all like you describe Tampa....

I am a native Floridian, and I have lived in Miami, Tallahassee, Tampa, Gainesville, Jacksonville. I have traveled from Dry Tortugas National Park all the way to Pensacola more times than I can count on two hands; I'm pretty sure there's no road in Florida or town I have not been to.

It's all the same. Hot, humid, airborne roaches, termites, mold, mosquitoes, mildew, bugs, AC runs non stop most of the year. Same.

Is there a part of Florida I am unaware of that has the climate of San Diego? Do tell!

It’s actually more of his/her specific neighborhood than Tampa overall.
