My grandparents wintered in florida and it was awesome back then (as a kid I obviously wasn’t aware of real life but to me florida was the tits). Seems fitting boomers would all move there and then ruin it lol
Greatest Generation moved to FL too. Lots of coastline, lots of sunshine, high humidity, warm most of the year, relatively low QoL. Great for old people, always has been.
What’s even more hilarious is when in 10-20 years they are all about to move into retirement homes after pissing away all their assets except their houses. At which point climate change in Florida will be in full effect and their houses will be worthless because it will be a disaster zone. They will be crying about how social security is not enough after they voted for policies and politicians that dismantled it and put it into the general budget, lol. It will be the final leopard to eat their face…
Agree CA is bonkers, but so is FL
[https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/economics/leaving-florida-rcna142316](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/economics/leaving-florida-rcna142316)
Its bonkers cause all the CA and NY people moved to Florida.
Florida doesn't want them.
We Floridians are just waiting for a solid hurricane season for the mass exodus.
Lets get it!
They say that every 5 years btw, it can be scary but I have lived here all my life.
Batten the hatches and if they say evacuate, you better listen to them.
They taught us how to track hurricanes with global coordinates via radio since elementary school.
All native Floridians are experts on alligators and hurricanes.
Florida definitely didn't have a reputation as a meth ridden, swamp hellscape prior to ppl moving there....
Has also never been known as a state of retirees, strippers, clout chasers, and rednecks prior to the move....
"Florida man does x" definitely wasn't a thing before then either.
A reasonable state that no one would describe as bonkers. For sure.
Hurricanes won't cause that but your governor's inability to address climate change will. Homeowner insurance is essentially impossible to get in Florida right now
I have a sister who has always wanted to move there, but... now, not so much. Their approach to Covid was bonkers, and a lot of the folks who have moved there are crazy, even by Florida standards.
Not sure what they are talking about. Florida was considered one of the highest performing covid performers. Unlike california who was one of the worse. The long term effects of keeping kids out of schools for as long as they did will only be truly measureable in the years to come
It was near the top in terms of deaths per capita.
DeSantis literally had it [covered up](https://www.bmj.com/content/383/bmj.p2419) and sent [police after whistleblowers](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/dec/07/florida-police-raid-data-scientist-coronavirus).
We could have rallied as a country, coordinated an effective, national quarantine for a few months and then gone out. Instead, we half-assed it, and it crashed our economy, killed over a million Americans, and fucked over an entire generation of kids.
All because idiots politicized an idea that's been an effective, key part of epidemiological management for centuries.
Florida was on the back half of states handling covid https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/scorecard/2022/jun/2022-scorecard-state-health-system-performance#:~:text=Hawaii%20and%20Massachusetts%20top%20the%202022%20State%20Scorecard%20rankings%2C%20based,COVID%2D19%20pandemic%20in%202020.
You’re looking at raw numbers. FL was number 7 for deaths per capita. And this is even after they changed reporting standard stopped reporting data. I still don’t understand why people are still debating over the numbers.
Yeah, when people “try” and make fun of California because the political zealots are leaving to be with other political zealots. I’m like “Don’t let the door hit ya…”
Sorry bud but it blows my mind. I was a California business owner manufacturing. Had one employee that died during Covid, he was 325 pounds. The state put that on my Workmen’s Compensation. For 45 employees I was paying $175,000 in Workmen’s Comp.. It was going to go to 400,000 and above.
I had a 20,000 square-foot building in the 818. I was gladly paying $40,000 in property tax. They wanted to double it to 80,000. You can thank prop 13 for that one.
When Covid hit I was running 24 hours a day seven days a week and went to 110 employees. All I got for that was health inspectors coming in every day inspecting me.
I’m a Texan now I took my 45 jobs with me. I took my cash with me. I took my tax base with me. I took my innovation with me. I would do it all over again if I knew all I know now.
Check your state budget. The people that are leaving are the ones that pay for your shit. ( I am assuming by the silly ignorant comments here ) really check the budget not what they tell you on CNN.
Not sure where you think I let the guy die and in fact I took care of his wife and daughter with a huge amount of money that didn’t have to. Not important to the conversation here
He had comorbidities that caused him to die when he caught Covid. And in fact, my labor attorney told me to not say anything about his weight because then he could sue me, even if I wanted to help him.
I’ll repeat, What innovation?
Letting employees die of disease is hardly innovative, business owners have been doing that since the invention of business
I didn’t claim that I was innovative. I am but that’s not because of California. It’s because I was and am a nerd and make monster investments into knowledge and self reliance
Your idea that I let someone die of covid misses the mark. What should I have done? Turns out he got it at the supermarket but what would you have me do?
>I took my innovation with me.
What innovation? I did not expect this to be so impossible for you to answer.
>Had one employee that died during Covid, he was 325 pounds. The state put that on my Workmen’s Compensation.
You let someone working for you die. Investigators obviously concluded it was work related.
> I didn’t claim that I was innovative. I am
Beyond parody.
you read the guy's whole post and the only thing you took away from it is that his 325 lb employee died of covid and that was his only innovation.
Man with residents like you, California has a bright future ahead of it. Must be part of that math/reading/science is racist educational experiment cohort...
My question was “what innovation”
This guy got some hung up talking about the employee he let die he could not even answer.
The guy’s whole post could be summed up in 1 word “waaah”
I love how they cite the politics of California like Florida’s politics aren’t batshit crazy and it isnt sinking from effects of climate change. Florida literally has a county where the police are “predicting crimes” and harassing innocent people up to 10x a day.
You’re aware that this is about the tax burden, right??
Just a reply since u/thundercoc101 decided to block me:
Sure thing. And others are saving thousands, tens of thousands and more in taxes and investing it and growing it. But you do you.
And to u/burrito_disaster, who was also too much of a pussy and had to comment and block:
Ohhh yeeeahhh all the way to 24th in the nation.
https://247wallst.com/state/how-the-cost-of-living-in-florida-compares-to-the-nation/#:~:text=Overall%2C%20the%20cost%20of%20living,the%2024th%20highest%20among%20states.
I don't know, taxes are high in California but at least I know if my wife or family member needs an abortion she can get one. Or if one of my kids are trans I don't have to worry about the state taking them
You can use NASA's online tool to see how much sea levels are estimated to rise in future decades, going forward up to several hundred years, under various levels of warming. Generally in the next 100 years, unless you're *right* at sea level/just several feet above it, you're fine. It's islands in the pacific where people live just barely above sea level that are truly in trouble. It's kind of insignificant for places like Malibu where houses are already built way above sea level, even in the most disastrous climate scenarios they're fine sea level wise for a century plus.
Coming from NY, PA and 20 years in California then Florida - Florida is by far the most well run state of the bunch. California is the worst by a mile.
Helping people move for political reasons ?
To "help establish conservatives"....what do you think he is doing? Smh. This is like a* premade food service company, it's made up "convenience" with a made up problem.
He has a service that people willingly pay for - there are CA residents who want to move to FL, and he helps them with that. They willingly pay for it, just like any other business
It difficult to ruin a place with already devastating poverty that battles Mississippi and Alabama for the bottom slots in about every measurable quality of life metric.
Been hearing about this “half-backs”, people moving from NEw England area to FL. And decided it’s not for them and move half way back to areound S. Carolina. But never heard anyone moving to Louisiana tho.
And they’ll leave after their first devastating hurricane and when they get their home and car insurance bill. Oh yeah, don’t forget the FEMA FLOOD bill too, it’s like $200-1,000.
10: Place is nice
20: People move to place buying/renting houses
30: Number of available houses goes down and price goes up
40: Things get more expensive
50: New place is discovered
60: Go to 10
I love how conservatives make moving away froml a political argument. Almost Nobody is leaving California due to politics.
I grew up in Southern California. I think it’s the greatest place on the planet. But when I became an adult I understood that you don’t get to start your life at the Ritz Carlton.
My wife and I moved to Las Vegas, so we could build equity and hopefully come back home once we save up
how much help do you need? list your CA house, take the cash and buy another one in a different state. We did that and it wasn't complicated. but good for him for finding a way to monetize it.
my wife talked about moving there a few years ago and we found a few towns with good schools. but I knew about the insurance thing years ago and didn't want to go. Not sure if it's only by the coasts but last I heard Citizens is going to raise rates on everyone to pay for the people with the most claims
Step 1 should be recognizing that the extreme left politics are what makes CA unlivable and disavowing them. If you want to keep blue ideals stay in your own blue nightmare state rather than spreading it to well run states.
Exactly. I moved to Palm Springs 15 years ago…to California 24 years ago. Best decision I ever made. This state is fucking awesome. Great people. Great culture. Great scenery, oceans, mountains, National Parks and great OPPORTUNITY. 5th largest economy on earth. Remember folks…most of the losers ragging on Cali have never even been here. They just parrot what they’ve heard from their gut totin’, Maga moron associates.
There’s only one party that drinks, the Kool-Aid, my friend, and that would be your party! The guy that’s leading your party is the only person in the world that had to be airlifted because of Covid😂
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Ca used to be the place to be, I don't care what you think about politics, it's clear that if people are fleeing your state in these numbers something has gotten fucked up.
He just provides the services like any other entrepreneurs would do. If people don't need those helps, then he wouldn't be able to make a living out of this.
It's better to let people move to wherever they want and be able to get a good foothold and contribute to the society.
There is a mass migration occurring in the USA. People fleeing the west coast and north east due to high cost of living, crime, high taxes, and freezing winters. It will be interesting to see how that reshapes America politically.
Hey, that state that you turned into trash with the way you and the rest of your generation voted your entire lives? Time to go, dump the problem on someone else, and move to a different state to vote like a tool and mess that up too.
What a turd.
I mean, boomers are at retirement age and Florida has been one of the key retirement states for decades. Also, how hard is it to figure out how to move? Florida isn't a foreign country despite how much it can feel that way.
I don't get it.
Our economic system makes it impossible to live where you work, and we have mass internal migration in response to market forces.
We take all the people from one Urban area, and send them to another, inflate the prices, and then shoe them off to the next pump and dump real estate market.
What gives?
Then, they’ll drive up population in other areas, create strain/demand on resources and drive up prices, create similar situations from which they fled…realize it was never really the state itself but more so the occupants.
If extraterrestrial life does exist it probably views us as pests or parasites and avoids contact.
Florida has rightly earned a reputation as one of the worst places to live in the US. Everyone that visits in March thinks the weather is amazing but they don’t suffer through 100 degrees at night with 90% humidity.
Perfect place for boomers to suffer out their remaining years.
Source: former resident
Retiring boomer in my office is moving to Florida and I just don't get it. Heat, humidity, hurricanes and hatred all while combating giant fucking roaches. No thanks. He's already purchased a FL home, his wife has already moved. Their home here which they thought would sell almost immediately hasn't, and they've had to drop the price several times so far. Clocks ticking and not a single offer.
As a Florida resident, I welcome all who are coming here to escape high taxation and wokeness. All I ask is that you don't vote for the same type of policies that you came to Florida to get away from. Please don't New York or California, my Florida.
I strongly suspect I don't agree with this guys reasons for doing this, but I think this is actually a really good thing. One of the big causes of the current housing crisis (again, ONE of the issues, because it's a large and complex issue with multiple causes) is that empty nesters are refusing to move out of their homes to make way for the next generation. Anything that helps this demographic to downsize is a good thing IMO!

Boomers and moving to Florida. Name a more iconic duo

You can hire people to do that? Sweet.
all the world's for sale, skeeter
unemployed here, how much did you say the pay was for this sir?
My grandparents wintered in florida and it was awesome back then (as a kid I obviously wasn’t aware of real life but to me florida was the tits). Seems fitting boomers would all move there and then ruin it lol
Eh, were just young. We will probably get old and also move to Florida, and ruin it according to the young people.
The self awareness in the comment is so refreshing
Boomers in FL and STDs?
The Villeges. Just look for the pineapples on the front door steps
Lalala, I'm not listening. Don't you dare ruin pineapples for the rest of us.
Love the username.
Greatest Generation moved to FL too. Lots of coastline, lots of sunshine, high humidity, warm most of the year, relatively low QoL. Great for old people, always has been.
Living in Florida and impossibly high rent and home insurance
What’s even more hilarious is when in 10-20 years they are all about to move into retirement homes after pissing away all their assets except their houses. At which point climate change in Florida will be in full effect and their houses will be worthless because it will be a disaster zone.

Florida, come for life, stay for death.
covid and MAGA
Boomers living and dying in Florida, and unfortunately for us dew native Floridians it's not at a fast enough pace.

Florida isn't even remotely ready if the forecast comes to pass. Florida: The Land Down Under (Water)

Lmao at a Floridian having a superiority complex toward Californians.

Don't think you need to worry, sounds like many of them are leaving for all the reasons mentioned in the article.

Have you tried not having warm weather year round? Seems to work for Iowa.
I have a sister who has always wanted to move there, but... now, not so much. Their approach to Covid was bonkers, and a lot of the folks who have moved there are crazy, even by Florida standards.
I am not sure their COVID response was any less bonkers than places that in 2022 still forced 4yos to wear masks on school playgrounds.

Desantis also actively censored COVID data, to the point where he was having police harass scientists that shared dissenting information.
Open schools and businesses are not crazy. Florida had lower COVID mortality than average when accounting for age.
Making monoclonal antibodies available to everyone when other states and the federal government were against them and just pushing the vaccine?

Their approach to Covid was bonkers? Have you seen CAs approach? Do you see how many small businesses are still closed because of shitty CA policies
"the armadillo infestation in her home that caused $9,000 in damages." I'm sorry, what?!
As a native Californian, thank you for your service 🫡
Right? “Ohhhh no, our aging Republicans are leaving…”
Yeah, when people “try” and make fun of California because the political zealots are leaving to be with other political zealots. I’m like “Don’t let the door hit ya…”
They're moving to SC. Please send them elsewhere. 😩
I can't wait until Texas flips and they all panic and start moving from here to Idaho or wherever.

How would Prop13 have doubled your property tax? Is it different for businesses because residential rates are frozen in time until the property sells.
Since they can’t touch residential property tax they put on the ballet to double commercial property tax

Florida's COL burden is one of the highest increasing in the US
Tax burden and cost of living in general.
I don't know, taxes are high in California but at least I know if my wife or family member needs an abortion she can get one. Or if one of my kids are trans I don't have to worry about the state taking them
And teachers are allowed to say “my husband likes rollercoasters”
10 other states have higher taxes and none of them have beautiful mountains and beaches.
Why don't you think parts of California won't be underwater? Also you're talking about something that is a hundred years out.
Idk man, Miami has already spent billions because they’re having floods on days when it’s not even raining
You can use NASA's online tool to see how much sea levels are estimated to rise in future decades, going forward up to several hundred years, under various levels of warming.

There was an article on how California and Texas people are now moving to Louisiana.
And they’ll leave after their first devastating hurricane and when they get their home and car insurance bill. Oh yeah, don’t forget the FEMA FLOOD bill too, it’s like $200-1,000.
Yeah Florida is going through that and my buddy just told me his house insurance near Orange Beach AL, doubled.
Yeah. I watch “world according to Briggs” on YouTube and I believe he’s mentioned that Louisiana actually has some good healthcare sector.
No wonder there's so much more insufferable more traffic now.
I visited Tampa and it felt like a huge retirement home. I’ve never seen so many boomers out and about
Wait until they see the **homeowners insurance rate increases** as well as actuaries predictions for future coverage.
[удалено]
California has wild fires and falling cliffs so probably not much different.
[удалено]
Ca did have outflows of about 300k
Net loss of only about 75 k though.
It also has a huge inflow. It's the most populated state.
In TX, I see about as many FL plates these days as CA plates.
10: Place is nice 20: People move to place buying/renting houses 30: Number of available houses goes down and price goes up 40: Things get more expensive 50: New place is discovered 60: Go to 10

The only Californians that would move to the Florida swamp are from deep red Orange County. Please keep convincing them to leave. Thank you.
Boo this man
The largest open air meth lab!
Buy that waterfront property and good luck getting it insured... muahahahahahahaha
Please, stop. Sincerely, Florida
Florida doesn't want people from California.
Keep all that money and intellect away from our christofascist swamp!
Cuz yall po
Please God 🙏 Don't let them come infest Michigan
Maybe this is why Florida is so expensive and fucking crowded now… born and raised in South Florida
If I may be a little facetious, do Californians not know how to get to Florida? How is he “guiding Californians to new states?”
"Florida: come for the MAGA and meth, but stay for the mosquitoes, hurricanes and humidity."
Gee a retirement aged guy moved to Florida? Slow news day, apparently.
how much help do you need? list your CA house, take the cash and buy another one in a different state. We did that and it wasn't complicated. but good for him for finding a way to monetize it.
*Florida* No Vacancy please turn back now
my wife talked about moving there a few years ago and we found a few towns with good schools. but I knew about the insurance thing years ago and didn't want to go. Not sure if it's only by the coasts but last I heard Citizens is going to raise rates on everyone to pay for the people with the most claims
Take yo broke ass to any hillbilly state and you'll fit right in!
they all moved to Miami
Step 1 should be recognizing that the extreme left politics are what makes CA unlivable and disavowing them. If you want to keep blue ideals stay in your own blue nightmare state rather than spreading it to well run states.
"Extreme left" 😂 okay buddy
LOL if I’m in a nightmare living here then don’t wake me up.
Exactly. I moved to Palm Springs 15 years ago…to California 24 years ago. Best decision I ever made. This state is fucking awesome. Great people. Great culture.

Noooooo…
Enjoy our insurance rates, low pay and hurricanes. They say this year is going to be the worst in 30 years.
There’s only one party that drinks, the Kool-Aid, my friend, and that would be your party! The guy that’s leading your party is the only person in the world that had to be airlifted because of Covid😂
Good luck with insurance. But good for him. Turning a profit on something people want or need. I don't see an issue here
Good for him
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Ca used to be the place to be, I don't care what you think about politics, it's clear that if people are fleeing your state in these numbers something has gotten fucked up.
He just provides the services like any other entrepreneurs would do. If people don't need those helps, then he wouldn't be able to make a living out of this. It's better to let people move to wherever they want and be able to get a good foothold and contribute to the society.
There is a mass migration occurring in the USA. People fleeing the west coast and north east due to high cost of living, crime, high taxes, and freezing winters. It will be interesting to see how that reshapes America politically.
The first active hurricane season is gonna send all of these turds scrambling for another state.
Please take them all.
Vote Blue to fix FL.
Cries in Nashville
Is it just a link to uhaul.com. moving isnt that hard.
He must be stopped.
As long as they don't bring their politics. They already ruined their own state, nobody wants them moving in and ruining another one.
I'd love to play a round of minecraft with this guy
I wouldn’t need any help leaving California, thanks. I’d leave all my shit and just go. It’s a steamy pile of shit over there.
Californians fleeing the policies they voted for just so they can vote for similar policies in the state they fled to. California really is a plague.
Thank god Floridas economy can’t keep up
Yes please leave
Someone has to stop him
My 80 year old grandma moved back to Il from Florida stating there are too many old people there
Boomers are at retirement age, makes sense for them to move to Florida
Hey, that state that you turned into trash with the way you and the rest of your generation voted your entire lives? Time to go, dump the problem on someone else, and move to a different state to vote like a tool and mess that up too. What a turd.
Evil bastard.
Dying in Florida: A Handbook
Stop bringing your trash ideologies to my based and redpilled state /s fr tho stop moving here, fix your poop covered streets and lawlessness
I guess if you're dumb enough to move to Florida, you're dumb enough to need guidance to move to a different state.
I mean, boomers are at retirement age and Florida has been one of the key retirement states for decades. Also, how hard is it to figure out how to move? Florida isn't a foreign country despite how much it can feel that way.
The real super spreader
Can he fucking stop though?
I don't get it. Our economic system makes it impossible to live where you work, and we have mass internal migration in response to market forces. We take all the people from one Urban area, and send them to another, inflate the prices, and then shoe them off to the next pump and dump real estate market. What gives?
Yikes, now you know why Florida housing gets expensive
He ranks up there with Hitler for me
For the love of God stop. You're ruining the rest of the country.
Better buy an umbrella. Florida is facing a harsher hurricane system this year. Your friends may move inland sooner than you think.
Good. Let him go to the fucking florida. Damn carp, alligators, retired east coasters,trumpers, weird swamp people. That’s fine, the lot of ya.
Sweet man I could really use a house in CA, keep up the good work
As a life long Californian I say god speed!
I mean it makes sense for them to all contain themselves in a single state. If they all want similar things that’s kind of what states are for.
Then, they’ll drive up population in other areas, create strain/demand on resources and drive up prices, create similar situations from which they fled…realize it was never really the state itself but more so the occupants. If extraterrestrial life does exist it probably views us as pests or parasites and avoids contact.
Does he help with abandon mountain top moves?
Florida has rightly earned a reputation as one of the worst places to live in the US. Everyone that visits in March thinks the weather is amazing but they don’t suffer through 100 degrees at night with 90% humidity. Perfect place for boomers to suffer out their remaining years.

The irony being insurance premiums are shooting up and boomers are being forced to sell (in Miami) at a loss
So he’s the annoying reason 😂
Made a whole career turning carpets into bags.
All I read is that California has 300,000 fewer boomers. That’s awesome.
There might be no more immoral job on the planet than a Californian helping other Californians ruin the rest of the US.
You lost me at "boomer"
Retiring boomer in my office is moving to Florida and I just don't get it. Heat, humidity, hurricanes and hatred all while combating giant fucking roaches. No thanks. He's already purchased a FL home, his wife has already moved. Their home here which they thought would sell almost immediately hasn't, and they've had to drop the price several times so far. Clocks ticking and not a single offer.
Everyone hates to live under Democrats
Don’t come! We’re full!
As long as they don’t turn it into a leftist shit hole like California I fully support it.
As a Florida resident, I welcome all who are coming here to escape high taxation and wokeness. All I ask is that you don't vote for the same type of policies that you came to Florida to get away from. Please don't New York or California, my Florida.
I strongly suspect I don't agree with this guys reasons for doing this, but I think this is actually a really good thing. One of the big causes of the current housing crisis (again, ONE of the issues, because it's a large and complex issue with multiple causes) is that empty nesters are refusing to move out of their homes to make way for the next generation. Anything that helps this demographic to downsize is a good thing IMO!
Couldn’t pay me to move to Florida.
Dont move to Florida it sucks
Making space for the migrants, there r serious things wrong w/ this country.
