Just got a job in Sunny Florida, we're out.

Florida: No state or city income tax. New York: Both. Florida wins.
Florida: $0.25 tolls on a handful of roads. New York: $6-$11 tolls on many roads. Florida wins.
Florida: All day parking: $6. New York: $50. Florida wins.
Florida: Sunny and 80 today. New York: Buried in snow and ice. Florida wins.
Florida: Flat roads with visible lane markers. NY: Potholes the size of small cars and no lane markers to speak of. Florida wins.
Florida: Shall Issue CCW. NY: Requires a (very expensive) permit to simply acquire a gun of any kind, frequently denied for no justifiable reason. Florida wins.
Florida: Hot chicks in bikinis who flash for beads. New York: Hot chicks in so many layers you can't tell they're chicks. Florida wins.

Hell, that's enough. We're out. Attn Florida: Hide your wives and daughters, here we come!

I'm sure I'll get flamed but many consider the Shall Issue CCW to be a con. (My opinion is) Florida loses on that one.

Haha, wait for it... wait for it.... someone will post in this thread the things that make Florida so terrible (nonsense, IMO).

As long as you understand that Florida is not New York you'll be very happy. Prepare to drive everywhere, things are spread out and summer is hot (I like hot weather). Congrats on landing a job!

Kash, I am actually (or will be soon) a 'Florida Fullback', meaning I've lived there before. Spent the first 27 years, more or less, of my life in the Tampa area. Wanted to experience other things, so left about 12 years ago. But I experienced other things, and I'm over it. My wife, OTOH, is 115 lbs of flaming hot Brooklyn boriqua, so it'll be new for her.

Anyone on the market for a dining room set?

No wonder this state is so far behind civilization with the "quality" of ppl we attract! mostly interested in "hot chicks" and "guns"!!!!!!!


I am sure your wife will appreciate you looking for "hot chicks" all the time"!!!!!!!!!
but beware...you may find more of this kind of "hot chicks" around here.....than the other!!!!! not sure if you want to be flashed by THAT Thing!

I think you have "Tampa" confused with either Vegas or Miami! hahahahahahaha

Are you driving down? Do you beat the Verrazano toll on the way out at least?

Where do you find $50 all day parking in Manhattan? That's a deal.

I thought I was the only one that cared about lane markers.


We bailed out 23 years ago. Never regretted it especially after a few visits back.

Good luck with the relocation!

Nothing more pleasing to the male eye that a bikini'ed hottie if you ask me!.
Nothing wrong with looking especially if its a married guy.
Nothing wrong with firearms ownership either. Its a right granted to American citizens.

Far behind in civilization?
