It makes perfect since when you compare our lack of amenities to LA and then use the taxes of Virginia.

Trolls exist on every board.

Here's a map that shows Florida's electric prices are not high but not low either.

I was simply speaking from a personal experience living in rural PA, NY and MA for a total of 13 years. Grocery bills dropped from 400 a week to 250 (maybe since we could actually drive to a Costco finally), electric and gas bills dropped from an average of 1200/yr propane, 3600 yr electric to 2500 a year for electric and 800 for gas. We also save a lot on gasoline. I have a family of 5.

It's not hard to find my "real name." I link to my website (Exploring Tampa) quite frequently. He's not smart or clever... He just clicked one of my links.

But he then went on to trace you all the way back to USF.... you just leave a large digital footprint That's OK, I think I know more about him than he thinks I do. Property ownership leaves a footprint too.

I made a comment supporting USF, which in C-D world means that I must have gone there.

In this case, he's not wrong. It's nothing I'm embarrassed about.

But you've got something he doesn't have any of, called class!
Otherwise you would of put his/her name out there already.

Groceries in the Tampa area are high and the selection is terrible., when I moved back north we thought the grocery stores had a sale on food. We’re I live we have fruit and vegetable markets bigger than a Publix store and way cheaper prices than in Florida.

Yup, I know that, just weird he felt the need to comment on it. Like, really weird. But he referenced in a post here for comments I had made on another forum and felt the need to mention my city (not sure why), but we'll just say weird again and leave it at that.
