I wonder how many people say they can handle it and then end up not being able to handle it once they move down here. But for those who can, I give them props.

Look at a weather map. Most of the US has warm temperature in the summer.

Do people not live in these places?

There are many places that are over 90 today and any typical summer day.

But Florida is a completely different story. It's like having those NYC summers last for 8-9 months.

8-9 months? I guess anything over 80 considered hot or summer like by you.

Only a fool would not think that the warm weather in FL is virtually year round.

People who move to Florida are aware of that. What they don't realize, though, is just how hot it gets. Many of those who relocate to FL say they'll be able to handle the heat/humidity like it's nothing, and then it turns out to not be what they thought.

The discussion was about how unbearable the humidity is, not whether or not Florida gets warm weather year round.

Not that many people can afford that bite out of their paychecks along with City, State and Federal taxes. A pack of cigarettes is running $14.00 a pack thanks to New York State tax of $4.35 on a pack plus the local New York City tax of $1.60. Milk is average $4.97 a gallon but can be as high as $7.00 at a convenience store. Its all just out of sight price wise. NYC subway and bus fare is now $2.75 one way.

We will see a continual influx of people who just cant survive in northeastern cities especially NY where the median income is around 60k regardless of how "low paying" FL is. As a whole, New Yorkers are pretty resilient and would have no qualms working 1.5 or 2 jobs.
Why not DO something about it then than crowd out other states??? Stop voting those who make it expensive for y'all to live three! Crowding Florida is not the answer!

Its a tropical and sub tropical location. Common sense and/or simple research will tell u that its going to be hot and humid in the summer months. There is no excuse for not understanding that in advance.

The elected officials of this state or any other do not control the costs of living. Its the free market that does that. The only places that are "crowded" in FL are the larger cities and most of S. FL.

Yes, but some think they can handle it and they later find out they can't. Because they are so desperate to get away from the winters. When in reality it's just going from one extreme to another.

Which is exactly the problem. People either lack common sense or do no research before moving here. And, shockingly, it's usually people who move down to "avoid the winter."
