There is 50 states but Florida is probably the best.

Please vote the reasons why.

Thank You.

I voted for the animals because there are some species like the manatee that are exclusive to this area. Weather, no big deal, I live in Houston and it is the same as here, as for women there are prettier women in many other areas than Florida and I can't comment on the other 2!

There are not very many "hot" people in south Florida unless it is temperature related. I tend to see many fat, and plenty of unattractive women and men around the Miami area, more so than when I was a child. As for the weather, that's open to debate. There are plenty of miserable old crabs all over, and you will find them on the road, in the stores, etc. You cannot rightly say that any place is the best, let alone Florida. Please be reasonable when making blanket statements.

No Whiners and miserable crabs- Very wrong. florida has some of the most unhappy people of any state ive been in, their either whining about the traffic, or the newyorkers, or the cubans or their homes not selling.

Sunny beautiful weather- for the most part, but what good is beautiful weather when you cant walk anywhere because 90% of the state is sprawl and requires you to drive from place to place to get around?

Beautiful women-outside of maybe southbeach on a saturday night. florida has some of the fattest ugliest humans ive ever seen. makes people from NJ look like models.

Lush landscaping-in palm beach or in naples sure but that just isnt the case for everybody.

this cape coral neighborhood definitely doesnt scream out lush or beautiful, and this is representative of some of the better landscape in the area.

Beautiful animal life-cant argue with that. seen mini owls, rabbits, gators and armadillos. cool change of pace for me. but that pprobably isnt the case for people from miami, tampa, orlando etc i could definitely do without the giant roaches, mosquitos, fire ants, snakes, black widow spiders, lovebugs, centipedes and all the other horrible things ur likely to see here

Cheap housing compared to NYC, DC, LA, Chicago etc- its marginally lower in SOME places but youre comparing world class cities to a vastly rural and suburban state.

compare DC, NYC,LA and Chicago, to miami, tampa and orlando and the prices will be marginally lower but wages will take a tremendous nosedive. and those cities will face the same issues all midwest/northern urban cities face so besides weather, your quality of life will be the same or probably less since youll be making less money.

Sounds good . But there are places in this state that are quite beautiful cover quite large areas. If I moved to Cape Coral on my first time in Florida, I would hate Florida for life.

I voted lush landscaping ....there are lots of gardens around Florida. And I'm a sucker for gardens.
The weather is beautiful, minus the humidity.
