I wanted to leave this comment because I think a lot of people have misjudged my intent for this video. I have lived here for thirty years and I love it, why else would I make my channel all about living in Florida and calling it paradise. There was an article out when I made this video and it was talking about people who are leaving Florida and even to this date January 2023 people are still leaving Florida because it's gotten so expensive and for all the other reasons in this video, Florida is not for everybody just like living in Buffalo isn't for everybody. So the reasons mentioned in the video came from an article and there are multiple articles that mention the same reasons why people leave Florida. I have no intention of leaving Florida, I don't hate Florida, my kids are in Florida and I intend to stay in Florida. Thanks for watching.

I think you may have misjudged the audience for a video titled "Why people are leaving Florida". By definition this title would attract people that were already thinking about leaving, or thinking about moving but had some concerns, etc. I am sure there are also people that appreciate having this list so they can consider if these are issues that they can live with or would prevent them from being happy in Florida. But these aren't new concerns, and you didn't change people's minds.

My intention wasn't to change people's minds about moving here, I'm a Realtor and I make a good living off this channel by helping people move to Florida. It's more for entertainment and as I stated the article I read was talking about people leaving Florida for these top reasons. For instance, a lot of viewers have said politics is the main reason, I can tell you after being a realtor for 10 years I've never had a single client move because of politics, I've had them leave because of the cost of living, they miss their family and liked it better where they came from but not one has ever left because we had a Democrat or Republican governor, or they never told me that. But I appreciate your polite comment and thanks for watching.

You are right on. Besides it’s a lot easier to keep yourself warm with clothing/heat during winter months in northern states than trying to keep cool here in Florida. Unhealthy humid hot air made it impossible for me to exist for 6 months outdoors in Orlando area. I have always enjoyed being outside- gardening, exercising, hiking, walking my dog . AC running inefficiently probably due to poor construction of the house so can’t hide inside either…just trying to barely survive here for 6 months June- November. My dog basically refuses to walk Even in a middle of the night it was 78 and 90 +++ humidity during summer . Now we discovered mold issues in our $8000 / month rental Decent house on the outside but terribly built on the inside. Most homes we looked it are small, cheaply built and super expensive Literally half the size our house in Virginia and neighbors breathing down our necks Renting for now and building new home for us… Not sure if that’s the right decision Hopefully we can relocate soon and sell our new house for profit . I would give anything to go back in time and beautiful Virginia. Houses and condos are everywhere on top of each other . HOA’s are a nightmare and walkable neighborhoods are a rarity and super expensive! Traffic is comparable to LA where we lived for 14 years

Paulette if i could find affordable senior apartments on Long Island i would move back right now. here in Tampa we do have affordable senior apartment communities so that's a plus. i came here from Nassau County Freeport and Rockville Centre loved both places. i also think health care such as hospitals and doctors are much better in New York.

I've lived in Florida for almost 10 years now and I so cannot wait to leave. My first gripe, jobs. There are NO JOBS in Florida. I have been unemployed since October 2019. I got unemployment and food stamps for 3 months, then I was on my own. Living in shelters or tents in parks and wooded areas, not good at all. Second, Medicaid. I am grateful for it but no dental. Talk about leaving you to suffer and possibly die. Third, public transportation. Polk Country has the bare minimum. I've lost a lot of weight walking far distances. Fourth, Governor Ron DeSantis. He's making everything harder and worse yet these people love their governor. And lastly, no place to live that's affordable. Homes, condos, apartments. The mortgages and rents are astronomical. Florida is the worst state I have ever lived in. When I leave here, I'm going to be staying with my friend in NH until I can move into a place in Maine. Maine is the only state that has affordable housing and decent paying jobs. So, goodbye Florida.

People were rude, it was stifling hot all the time, property taxes are insane. Public parking, especially on the beaches was impossible to find, not to mention super expensive. We were lucky to have a condo on the beach with beach access, but the ridiculous traffic on A1A made it not even worth it. Not to mention home prices. We sold my moms house in Imperial Point for $500K in 2019, and it is now going for about $1M. For a normal middle class person, it is not affordable to live there any longer if you want to live East and in a decent neighborhood.

I can agree that you haven't truly experienced Florida until you've spent an entire day outside in full sun on a 94 degree day in June. I did just that a couple years ago when I visited Hallandale Beach to see if I could stomach the summers if I decided to move later in life. Needless to say, it's hot and its humid and the sun can be unbearable. I'm an avid runner, but I had to do my runs first thing in the morning before the full sun came out. Otherwise, it can sap your energy rather quickly. I don't mind the heat and I am highly adaptable, but I imagine other people underestimate the intensity of a South Florida summer.

I moved to FL in 1988 when I was 33 years old. I am now 67 and what is said in the video is so true. I can no longer tolerate the heat.

In PA you can wonder the mountains for hours in natural silence and not see another person. Not so in Florida. I lasted about a year there.

I was charged $100 a month for water plus $120 for water transfer fee making my bill $220 a month plus tax. The reason for the $120 extra charge was to pay for the water pipes that deliver the water from the neighboring city-UNBELIEVABLE. THERE IS ALOT OF CORPORATE STEALING HERE AMONGST BUSINESSES THAT OVERCHARGE CONSUMERS WRONGFULLY. THE STATE IS NOT WORTH THE PRICE THAT COMES WITH IT. NOT TO MENTION, ALL OF YOUR BILLS ARE DUE NOW, THERE IS NOT REALLY A GRACE PERIOD WHEN THEY SEND YOU THESE FAKE OUTRAGES BILLS THAT ARE DUE.

when i first moved to Florida in 1971 it was a great place to live. our first apartment was a two bedroom two full bath garden apartment rent was 175 dollars per month all utilities included. we moved here from Long Island NY where we had a apartment that was at that time 400 dollars per month plus utilities. i worked at Kennedy airport for a cargo airline and my salary was 600 dollars bi weekley which was great for that time . when i moved here to Tampa i had to work two jobs to make almost what i was making in New York. the only reason why i moved here to Tampa is because this is where my wife's parents lived and in 1975 my parents moved here as well so there was no going back to New York which till this day i wish i had never left. i don't mind paying higher prices for things as long as i am getting the service for the money. you don't get good service here in Florida. in 1972 i was hired by the US Air Force at Mac'Dill AFB and i had a great job there for 20 years in civil service as a logistics supervisor. all i can say is if i could relocate to somewhere in the southeast or the northeast and live in affordable senior housing like i do now i would be gone from Florida in a heart beat.

I had young children and not much money and not much time so we always vacationed inside Florida and we have had an awesome time. That said, age and health issues have sent us into downsizing And we're not about to do those trailer parks. So much has changed in Florida in the last 5 years and now we see so many people are moving here. Where we live, the growth is ridiculous. Every square inch of bare earth is being developed, and the resources are being absolutely tapped. The beaches in Sarasota and Bradenton are regularly off-limits because of bacteria in the Gulf, we are seeing many more incursions with wildlife and between January and May it's getting almost impossible to be able to just do simple errands on any given day. They are turning interstate 75 into 10 lanes and it will only be adequate for a very short time.

If someone likes steak, but I like fish does it make either one of us wrong. Go experiment and try new locations. Nothing is permanent in life.

Reason 5 needs to be revised. You should say South Florida in the burbs you need to walk. If you live in the largest city in South Florida (Miami)...you can make it without a car. Fl's only rapid transit exists in the heart of the 305 and makes it accessible to not have a car and it's called Metrorail. Metrorail serves the urban core of Miami, connecting Miami International Airport, the Health District, Downtown Miami, and Brickell with the northern developed neighborhoods of Hialeah and Medley to the northwest, and to suburban The Roads, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and South Miami, ending at urban Dadeland in Kendall. That's 24 miles of track that serves several communities. Not to mention the Metrorail connects you to that commuter train for Broward & Palm Beach. It's not perfect, but compared to the rest of the state, public transit in the most dense parts of South Florida definitely exists.

We didn't have any hurricanes hit the East Coast but we did get a tropical storm that did pretty good amount of damage up near Daytona

Are you talking about Ian, because this wasn't Ian this was the one that was a tropical storm that happened weeks later

@@PalmBeachesPaul yes we came there 2 weeks after Ian... I don't mind weather as I'm fascinated by it. Do you have any videos on water lifestyle? Kayaking, waverunner, boating, fishing, etc???

We had a house in Sarasota before the 2nd housing bust; only stayed in it from December to April. We sold it bc the insurance was expensive if you can get an insurer to insure your house. I could never live there year round as I hate bugs, alligators, snakes and all the other exotic species that we don’t have up north. And the hurricane season as well; the only hurricane I lived through was superstorm Sandy and that was enough for me, wouldn’t want to live through that again so bye bye Florida it was nice while it lasted but I will stay put for now

You may think all of NY is crowded because when you say NY you only think of Manhattan. There are so many nice places in NY that are livable, peaceful,close to all amenities and public transportation that are not crowded. I’ve been living in NY for 38 yrs now.

Although I too am planning on moving to Florida, I have to say NYS is beautiful & a different world than NYC. The city isn’t even the same city in which I grew up in. EVERYTHING & EVERYWHERE changes. While I love living in upstate NY (great schools & healthcare) I’m leaving to Florida for the weather & salt life. Will come back to NY every few months just like many other New Yorkers do. Traffic in Florida IS NOT worse than the Cross Bronx Expressway or the GW Bridge. And some of these commenters should try living thru sub zero temps and then get back to me about the heat. 😂Oh & we have hurricanes too! (Irma, Sandy, & storm surges/flooding all the time now). Oh and snow & sleet & black ice. 😉 Thx for the informative videos. See u in Florida! Lol

A lot of people leaving Fl right now.

Thanks for watching David. Yes, there are quite a few people leaving due to the rising cost of homes and the insurance headaches that we are all dealing with but there’s still more people moving here on a daily basis.

Florida is a joke. Stay away from Sarasota. Traffis is your worst nightmare.

To each his own. Florida's hot? I live on a barrier island off St. Pete where there's always a breeze, even in the dog days of summer. Stay out of the sun and it's very tolerable. High real estate prices? They go with desirable locations. Tourism? It supports the local economy, and I for one feel jackpot lucky to be living in a place where people from all over the world pay big bucks for the chance to spend a few days where I live year round. Wildlife and bugs? Not a factor. I was bitten by mosquitoes growing up on Long Island a lot; it's simply not a problem here, especially with the constant breezes. Public transportation? C'mon, if you don't have your own car, move to New York City. I can take a bus from where I live to hook up with trains or planes to go anywhere.
