Why do people move out of Orlando or Florida? (Miami: employment, living)

[tinytrump]

Rem we still are the capital of tourism, whether it is from the states or not, many of the tourist are from overseas. They drive like the are on a mountain some where not a city. I see them as I work near the airport and I catch 'em coming out of the car rental places etc. etc. eeechh..
As for the SUN- and melanoma you can't be out there all the time and I think some folks just prone to that sort of thing, but I hope you get it all- and none ever come back!

Oh. OK. Based on your location you are going to see more of the natural wild life.

The only place Ive seen gators was on the Weeki Wachee River. We have a lake nearby here that is notorious for gators.

Yes, coming from a more urban city the bus line would leave a lot to be desired. However, its better than it was.

I live between Lake Dora and the Wekiva basin. Gators everywhere. I'm surprised you don't see them near Spring Hill. I have a few friends there, and one in particular loves gators and is constantly showing me new pictures of some he's encountered.

I have lots of snakes behind my backyard. Neglect the yard for a week, and I'm sure to see at least one scurrying around by the time I venture out there.

Our lakes are filled with water mocassins. I've seen quite a few of those.

Anyway, there are negatives everywhere. One just has to pick and chose which ones they can and will live with.

And yes, I believe certain ppl are drawn to certain areas. Fine, you want me to put it out there, I'll do it. Someone like me, white, early 30's, American, Florida born, likes trucks, 4 wheelers, the beach, sports, and wants to be around like-minded people w/ similar interests, I'm not going to move Miami. Central FL is right behind South FL. If someone from Haiti moved to the US for whatever reason, my bet is that they'll choose a place like Orlando or South FL where there are already a large number of them. Get my drift?

Yes. How are they rude? Do that not hold a door for you going into a store, do they glare at you when you reach for the same shopping cart? Do they way mean things to you? Yes, people tend to gravitate to areas where their nationalities are more common. Makes sense. Thats how it worked in the late 1800s-early 1900s. Everybody coming over sought out their own kind. \

I just find that other folks can be very loud, obnoxious, all about themselves... dont do the little things that are nice (open doors for ppl, say please and thank you, etc...), drive aggressively, may say things that are very rude and inconsiderate, etc. I dont see that nearly as much in NC as I do here in FL. And Ithink a large part of that is WHO lives in NC and WHO lives in FL, and what areas attract certain groups of folks.

Not really bro, try living in the Carolinas. All the vanilla gets really old quick.

Yes, unfortunately, we do have people like that in our world. Live and let live. I would guess that since the population of NC is 1/2 of FL, there is less chance to run into them.

Lets say I was a loud, obnoxious, all about my self individual and I decide to relocate to either FL or NC.
You are saying that I would make a conscious decision on which state to choose due to my personality.
OK, sure.


I dont see how you could judge so much about a person by a chance meeting at a doorway, parking lot, inside a store or anywhere else for that matter. You have taken various human traits and lumped them all together in this category you created.


How do you feel about Rodney Dangerfield, Jackie Gleason, Charles Bronson?

Its all good. Some people like one bland flavor so it is easier to fit in and avoid social interaction with others who are not one bland flavor.

Exactly... When I visited the so-called "Whitopia," I expected blatant, open racism. Instead, the people appreciated the fact that I visited, despite being different, and would even be thrilled to learn about my background.
It's more along the lines of wanting to be surrounded by people of similar cultures.
