Are you kidding me? That's way better than Florida heat! The numbers are just as high as they are here in Texas but the lows at night are more refreshing. Dallas summers are worse than Florida summers IMO, but west Texas summers are grand. I don't mind it hot at all, just let it get below 80 overnight please! And Oregon's heat is a seasonal thing, Florida's is annual. It's like if someone in Minneapolis tried to compete with Siberia. Yea Minnesota's cold, but it's way more short lived than Siberia's cold and more prone to random thaws! You also go to other parts of Oregon and the temperature is way cooler in the summer. Can't do that in Florida or anywhere in the southeast besides maybe the Appalachian mountains (which aren't much cooler in summer anyway)

Being born there? Having family there? Being poor and not being able to move out? Being arrested there? xD I can't stress this enough: FLORIDA HAS NATIVES TOO YA KNOW! Not everyone's from another state or up north. I wasn't able to move until I was 20, then I got a boyfriend out of state and left for school and even though Texas heat is killer, it doesn't last forever at least, and it's dry most days

When I lived in my hometown, Miami, people (locals, not Yankees and snowbirds) loved the days it dropped to the 50s in the winter, especially around Christmas time. Many people down there welcome a change from the sameness. Sure you still got wimps which put on sweaters when it's room temperature outside lol but most of us enjoyed the cold fronts while they lasted. I know that I loved being able to see my breath, which actually doesn't happen here no matter how cold it is, unless it happens to be snowing or raining in the 40s. In Miami it's so humid it happens in the low 60s.

Those "many people" you speak of are what natives call snowbirds and tourists. If they like it when the temperature drops below 70, there's a nice place they can go to get that. It's called "back where you came from."

Atlanta will not be the place for you, regarding weather. It is called "Hotlanta" for a reason in the summer and the winters can be tough there.

You should see how much complaining there is about it there.....LOL!

I never complained about it. We made the best of it and still sat on the front porch, with a cool drink in hand. Still beats the heck out of the cold, IMO.

Oh please. Hot for less time than Tampa, and nowhere near as frigid as the northeast (where I'm from) in winter.

ATL has 4 mild seasons. Sure it gets hot in the summer, about like FL, but again, cools down much sooner and doesnt last all day long like in FL. The winters? Winters can be rough for a cpl weeks at a time but that's infrequent; and its not like the winters of the NE.
