Which is the most democratic area in the state. Florida isn’t just country clubs. There are all different kinds of neighborhoods. Southeast Florida is a lot different than the rest of the state. Yes we do have issues here in Florida but any part of the country has similar or it’s own unique issues.
I moved from Massachusetts and condo fees are much higher there than down here. I paid over $500 per months for condo fees. Down here I pay $500 per year for HOH fees. There are condos all over the country that have been very poorly managed. That isn’t just a Florida issue. My condo in Boston didn’t have laundry in any units. The laundry rooms didn’t have enough machines and people often forgot they were using the machines. Condos or apartments up north can be just as old if not often older than Florida. There is much more newer construction here than New York.
Yes there are areas that flood during big storms, but up in Massachusetts there are places every spring that flood too. I knew when we got a big storm to always avoid low lying areas. At least here in Florida with sandy soil things drain here.
So yes things aren’t perfect here but overall it costs way less to like here in Florida. The biggest issue I’ve found no good Chinese restaurants or no Jewish delis at all. You can’t get a good brisket to save your life
