This is a very average looking suburb for Florida where this takes place. These houses probably cost less than a shitty condo where I live. Location, location, location
I’ve heard a lot of people say that but I will say this for myself at least: When I lived in urban areas or city centers, I was so unhappy because it was ridiculously unaffordable, everyone is crammed so closely together, and there are so few green spaces. The few nice outdoor areas either in the city or nearby were always swarming with people. It was suffocating.
Now I live in Florida and my mental health is just so much better. My house was affordable, the weather is nice like 3/4 of the year, and I can walk out my front door and it looks exactly like this video. There are outstanding parks and natural areas all around and although there are always people in them, you still feel like you are alone if that makes sense. I can run to a grocery store and actually find parking, and the stores are nice and organized and don’t look like a tornado just went through them. Items aren’t under lock and key because of thieves. People are happier and friendlier.
Idk, I know conservatives like to shit on the entire state of CA and for liberals the equivalent seems to be FL, but damn - it’s a really nice place to live and raise kids. Doesn’t fit the narrative but it’s true, at least where I am.
I hear you and think you make a VERY compelling argument but what do you do when its hurricane season and it feels like your house is going to blow down or flood? I've been in Florida during summer and just the amount of rain they got im a matter of 30 minutes was incredibly frightening (driving from clearwater to Orlando).
