I would prefer comparing New England & New York to the upper mid-west, specifically Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. They seem like they would have somewhat similar climate and at least Wisconsin and Michigan have Great Lake access giving them more access to shorelines than most people realize. My geography isn’t great so I can’t remember if Minnesota borders any Great Lakes. You could possibly include Ohio, Indiana and Illinois with these upper Midwest states but they seem more similar to Mid-Atlantic states like Pennsylvania. New York is also a mid-Atlantic state but I see how some people group it with New England, more so than other mid-Atlantic states.

10:00. Florida's high speed rail was canceled... but the proposed line was still built. It's not true high speed rail, only getting to 125 mph. It's open from Orlando to Miami and is being extended to Tampa.

There is a mistake in your information. Florida DOES have a highspeed rail system. It covers Miami to Orlando. The Orlando to Tampa and Orlando to Jacksonville legs are still planned and on schedule. There is also a trirail system which unites the southeast counties of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami Dade.

Florida's Brightline isn't actually High Speed Rail. It's what qualifies as Higher Speed Rail. Not only does it fail to meet the qualifying speed of 125mph, it's average speed of the train is significantly lower due to the fact it has several crossings it has to slow down at. HSR is usually completely grade separated so it can reach high speeds consistently, but Brightline florida kept separate grade crossings to a minimum to reduce costs. There's also the fact it's not electrified at all. And you're wrong, California has several regional passenger rail systems such as Metrolink in the LA area, and BART in the Bay area, along with Amtrack services throughout the state.

I had a chuckle about the comparison of number of people incarcerated. I live in California and it’s VERY hard to get incarcerated here. You can shoplift up to $950.00 per load. If you want more than that and you don’t want to go to jail, you have to come back later, or shoplift a different store. That’s why there’s fewer people incarcerated in California per 100,000 residents.

What was left out of the CA/FL comparison has to do with a. Exports of food produce by top 10 foods b. Exports of natural resources (e.g. lithium) c. Creation & exporting of high-technology products & software d. A comparison of the actual cost of housing construction e. A comparison of e.g. the number of live-audience theatres and other ‘arts venues’ f. A comparison of say the top 10 ‘economic engines’ that power the states’ GDP g. the number of colleges and universities in each state and the total number of enrolled students & an average ‘graduation rate’ between CA college students & FL college students h. a comparison of the cause of mortality (e.g. skin cancer melanoma rates might be higher in south Florida among Caucasians &c.) i. annual rainfall levels

Great video.

A couple of corrections; the rivalry between the two states is not friendly. Also, the words "California Republic" wasn't through a desire to become independent, it actually happened due to California seceding from Mexico and being a nation for 25 days before annexation by the US. The original Bear Flag had that written on it when it was raised in Sonoma where the US Navy went and took it down. I'll let someone from Florida clarify their flags design but I've heard that it a reflection of Florida being part of the Confederacy which had a blue cross with white stripes. I can't be too sure of this though. The Port of Oakland is not synonomous with the port of San Francisco since there is also a Port of San Francisco which is smaller than Oakland's.

Or even a beach made of volcanic black sand with a 12.000 foot tall mountain as a back drop (Tenerife (I know not in either Florida or California))

In an ideal world states would get together to compare notes and see what works and what doesn't as well as how they can work better together instead of smuggly debating about who is better.

Um NO, Florida has Brightline Railroad which is a high speed rail way already going from Miami to Orlando and soon to Tampa. And living on $50k in Florida is much more affordable than living on $52k in California. As someone who has lived in both, Florida is far superior if you want to live a healthy lifestyle affordably. Also, the people in Florida are more down to earth & friendly in my experience than California. The average person in Florida is more likely to help out a complete stranger, versus California where even people you know are not as likely to help you out. Californians are more pretentious and elitists, whereas Floridians are more humble, kind, and giving of their time and money to benefit others. On paper California looks great, but when you actually live in both you see the difference and Florida beats California hands down for it's people and just being a nicer place to live.

Love my California! Couldn’t ever deal with humid weather in Florida.

That is an excellent question. And the answer is: I'm not sure.

Florida's state flag (& most southern state flags) is a play on the Confederate "stars & bars". Similar to how the UK's Union Jack is depicted in it's regions flags.

The cost of living for Florida and California are kind of misleading here because it depends what city you choose to live in from each state. I lived in San Francisco and now live in Orlando and yes the wages are less than San Francisco but not a lot less but you know what’s also less? Rent. I did lose $3 an hour moving here but the average rent for a studio in SF is like $2,500 while Orlando for a STUDIO is like $1,300. However you could also make the argument that it’s easier to afford Bakersfield over Miami but then you’re in Bakersfield over Miami and I’m not the biggest fan of either but I’d way rather live in Miami.

The only difference between tropical versus subtropical is the average monthly temperature isn't below 64 °F/18 °C, during the coolest month. Due to the "thinning" of the Florida Peninsula this can be easier maintained in the Southern most counties, especially the Florida Keys. However cities further North especially right along the Gulf of Mexico are borderline tropical. Take Clearwater in the Tampa Bay area. Their average monthly temperature during their coldest months (January and February) is at 62.3 °F/16.8 °C. Which is only 2.1 °F/1.2 °C below the tropical threshold.

I think the political analysis of the two states was a bit incomplete, but it was a good review nonetheless.

@@brpopboy66 And does that law only apply to black men? I don't think so. So I find it bizarre that you feel the need to single out that group specifically. So long as the law is enforced consistently, I don't see the problem. Also, I find the specific numbers you cite highly unlikely. But again, it seems like one simply needs to avoid committing felonies. Seems easy enough to me.

@bradyboy66 Also, republican party registration has surpassed democratic party registration in Florida in recent years. Women, Hispanics, and most every other group in Florida have been leaning more republican in recent years. It's not disenfranchisement that is costing democrats elections.

@@mikesiciliano210I didn’t single them out. Florida did

As somebody who have lived in both states. California is by far the most beautiful state with nicer climate, don't have to worry about humidity, hurricanes and the daily rain shower you get in Florida. You can truly enjoy your hard earned money in California and don't need to be 70 years old like Florida. The landscape in California is to die for, if you love the outdoors and natinal parks you will love California. Florida is mostly flat landscape and water and old people.

Two states I would never want to live in. Absolutely no.

Issues aside, California will always be the more beautiful and cooler state.

How about a pollution comparison between America, India and China???

...and both will have major land loss as sea levels rise. I don't think Cali can break up cuz the south takes the north's water.

Florida's set to lose half its land to the sea in the next 120-150 years. California won't lose anywhere near that much land, but it might lose a little. Florida's basically a sand bar made of dead compacted coral fossils. CA's geology is a whole lot different from Florida's, and climate change will drastically affect the state in all its regions but California will survive.

I lived in California for 37 years before moving to Nevada because California was so unsafe. The reason California seems safer, even though it isn't, is because the Police departments don't come unless something very serious happened. Because of this, a lot fewer police reports are written than the actual number of crimes committed and that tends to make the crime rate look lower. If the police wrote a report every time a crime were actually committed the California crime rate would be through the roof. Please do a comparison of California and Nevada next.

I lived in both and I’m from Chicago and I’d most definitely say California is better it’s laid back more room and not crowded Florida is over crowded lots of cops it’s too hot

San Andreas vs Vice city

I thought Florida had a gun pointed at California😂

Wet tropical spainland vs dry desert spainland 😊
