Population growth sucks. Too many people, too much traffic, and noise pollution. The northerners and immigrants have ruined the state. A lot of people here in the Sebring area have a southern accent however.

Its true, the state is ruined but what can you do? Its called FOMO which baby boomers are notorious for "he has his so I want mine". They all think FL is some amazing place because guess what ADVERTISING WORKS.

The state is average to me, better than some but there are def better places out there.

Local Floridians know all too well about this. Back 30+ years ago Floridians were open to anyone at anytime but things have changed the last 30 years.
It really is a shame that people judge people based on their former geographical area of residence and more so based on their accent. It is an indication of narrow minded thought processes.

Yep, that is what the original residents thought. It got worse when they were ejected from the State by the nice North Americans. At least the Spanish did not eject them. Yep been the problem for over well 200 years now. Of course since they discovered oil on their reservations in OK long ago, things got a bit better.
