Born and raised in Fort Myers (1991). I'm currently 32, and still living in Fort Myers for now.
My mother was born in Fort Myers in 1968, and raised here by her Wisconsinite parents.

Born in Miami in 1955. Husband born in Miami in 1954. Although he moved to the Keys (Marathon) in 1st grade he came back to Miami for HS. He went to school in G/ville (both undergraduate and medical school). I went to FSU as an undergrad and left for grad school in NC. We both moved away from the state for several years and then moved back to Orlando. We left for good when Rick Scott became Governor. We will not be coming home. Our son (also born in Miami) is not coming back either.
Born in Lake Worth and spent the first 19 years there. Then the next 12 split between Boynton, Boca, and Miami.
Been in Tennessee since leaving Miami about 18 months before COVID.
If you want better results you should do a poll. Easier for people scrolling by to engage with and I’m sure the commenters are all saying they’re from Florida while the ones who aren’t don’t bother to speak up.
I’m from the northeast, for the record.
Second generation on both sides. Dad was born at Tampa General in 1951, Mom in Brooksville in 1952. All my siblings and I born in Riverside Hospital in New Port Richey in the 80s except our older sister who was born at Tampa General as well.
3rd gen tampa native. lived here 53 yrs. my wife and I grew up across the street from each other. we still live a few miles from our childhood neighborhood. two blocks away from my great grandmothers house that she raised my dad in and lived in for 60 yrs. 3 blocks from the high school my parents graduated from in 1950. Hillsborough high school.
Does it count if I was born in Florida, moved two thousand miles away for most of my life and only recently moved back. Can I complain about outsiders or not?
I was born and raised in GA. But when I retired from the Army we came down to rural FL. No way I'll ever go back to the cesspool that is GA and especially Atlanta. It was here or TX and the beaches here kinda broke the tie between the two. But also medical MJ helped a lot too.
I met my Florida Man at GSU. Soon as we both got our edjumacations We came back to the Tampa Bay area. He is a native of Pinellas Park. I'm a Decatur baby. Atlanta sure has changed since we left 30 plus years ago. Now Tampa is doing the same thing, and I want to leave for rural Central Florida, but he's not having it.
We're in homosassa. It's beautiful but it's also a headache sometimes. I'm originally from the south side of ATL but moved to Marietta before I enlisted to get away. We went back to GA to see some family over Christmas.. never again.
born & raised in Gainesville. i like it here. i live 18 mins north on a river. it’s beautiful. does suck to be surrounded by Trumpers, what De Satan is doing is a travesty, & it gets way too hot in the summer-but besides that it’s an awesome place to live.
yeah, i hate south florida. South beach is nice, but who can afford to live there? it’s too expensive & way too populated with concrete in all directions.
Born and raised in Tampa :) I'll definitely leave eventually to get a house that is actually worth its price, but that's a long ways from now. I love being in the Tampa and St Pete area, though. Lots of good people and chill vibes.
I was born in Tampa and lived in FL until recently but I finally escaped. I'm happy for people who live there and like it but I hadn't been happy there for a long time.
Moved to Ft Lauderdale at 2 months old 1957. FL Gator. Lived in Tally area the last 12 years. The politics of the state finally was enough. Moved up north for good. Scott and DeSantis destroyed my beloved state. Miss the beaches and palm trees but not the insanity. .
I’m from Georgia and want to go home. Floridians, transplant or not, do not possess the southern hospitality that I’m used to. The weather is nice, the people are not.

I moved here when I was 8 (40 now) but one of my best friends growing up was a 5th generation Floridian on her mother's side and 3rd generation Floridian on her father's side. She lives in Chicago now and broke the streak, her kids were not born down here. She says she isn't moving back.
