In Florida, or other warm weather states like California. I was just trying to make the point that up north it is more an issue of practicality than culture per se.

There doesn't seem to be a middle ground. You either LOVE it or HATE it.

That is the truth. I don't see a lot of indifference...especially on this forum.

The boom of the Sunbelt is all about the absence of labor unions, and the plentiful supply of workers who are grateful to have good jobs. Not having to deal with pathologically aggressive and greedy Northeasterners is also a huge treat. Otherwise, you are right. The heat and humidity make the Sunbelt a miserable and potentially deadly place, six months each year. The sprawl is hideous, and the demographics just keep getting worse and worse.
