Part of me would love that. The other part likes him right where he's at. Imagine where we'd be right now had the gay crackhead won the state, especially with Sniff as president.

I would love to move to Florida. They seem to have the best representatives at every level. Just need to find 10+ acres with a fresh water source...

Told you, we are full.

Screw Florida, Texas is the place to be.

We'll see. There is pretty good turnover in Florida... so I'll just wait for my spot.

We do have a number of people who move here and can't handle the humidity and half back.

Yep... they end up in Asheville, NC.

Can't tell you how many Range Rovers, Mercedes, Teslas, Porsches etc show up in town with Florida tags I see here every day. They just looooove to buy up all the $400,000 3BR/2BA, 1,500 sqft houses going up around here.

While the HQs might not be here, plenty of them have quite a presence in the state.

The problem is that whenever people move up in their company they have to leave. That hurts the economy. The high paying jobs are always elsewhere.

Exactly what planet do you inhabit where you think shareholders are just going to accept the loss of the third biggest market in the US? Twitter barely makes money as is. They're already highly leveraged.

Going to tough to find close to the coast. Your best bet is to go more in the interior of Florida. You can try the western part of St. John's and Flagler Counties if you don't want to go too far inland.

Sadly my new town is starting to get overrun by Northern Covid Escapees. Some are conservative but most of the younger millennials are Dems. I had one tell me it wasn't bad in Portland...it was like only 2 blocks.
