I was in Orlando before Mickey Mouse and remember it when it was a Southern city. Now it's just another borough of New York. I left due to the overcrowding, the traffic, the rising cost of living, and I just wasn't ready to learn another 4 languages just to be able to communicate in any area---and I already speak 4 languages! Jacksonville was the murder capital of Florida in 2006 and 2007. All this means is that people live where they choose to due to their own personal situations, read: work, likes, dislikes, income, climate, attractions, you name it. For me, Florida is becoming way too crowded. 1000 people per week move here. By 2020 there will be 11 million more people here. That impacts everything from the grocery store to health care. I'm too old for all that. Besides, the homes that I've picked out to look at/buy are all in Midtown and are 100-150 thousand cheaper than anywhere in Jax plus the taxes are phenomenally cheaper. You don't like Memphis? Leave. You want/like Florida, Go. That's what makes this country so damn great---freedom of choice.
I live in the Jax area, too! Drop me a line sometime if you want to talk about Memphis or whatever. I've got a couple of Memphis transplant friends who live around here, and it's nice to have local reminders of home.
