    Oregonian here I plan on moving to Orlando in three years. I’m tired of the left wing politics and living in a place where Americans are kind to each other. ❤FL see you soon. I have family in Florida all over and they’re happy. Oregon is very expensive but we are able to live comfortably. Everything is expensive in Oregon especially food and gas.

Moved to Seattle years ago because the heat & lack of seasons & low pay was too much to handle but there’s always a special place for the City Beautiful.

    Orlando shockingly is probably the most liberal city in Florida. Yeah there’s churches everywhere (I mean it’s still FL) but it’s not intertwined in the culture compared to cities like Jacksonville, Pensacola or Tallahassee. As someone who’s not religious at all, when I lived in Orlando, East Orlando to be specific, there wasn’t really a pressure to go to Church like in other Southern cities and I had Jewish, Muslim & Hindi friends that never felt uncomfortable moving around the city. FL as a whole is pretty Right Wing, Born Again full of Conservative vibes, but the major cities (minus Jax) offer a bit more of a deep purple balance.

    BVL: When I got on Statefarm when I moved back to FL (I was in MD for 17 years and had GEICO,) the insurance guy said if we had moved to BVL, the insurance rate would've been even higher just due to the high rate of insurance fraud. Fun fact: GEICO literally wanted 3x the amount of $$$ for the EXACT, UNCHANGED, full-coverage plan- from $60/month to $300/month. This was in 2012. I had to leave them when we moved to area code 34744. This area has higher insurance rates for vehicles and homes. It's something people need to be aware of if moving to the area. Hunter's Creek and the Loop are technically in south Orlando, the north side of Osceola parkway. I love that area. ❤️ Developers keep building and building, and our cows and fields are disappearing. We're full. 😩
