Vking, I get your point. Always look at things with an open and realistic mind.
I have been going down for many, many years 50+ parents lived there and have seen the changes. Unfortunately it is a way of life in many states now especially when you get tired of getting abused in more ways than one. When you have the option you automatically will look for a place that is also cost affective. Not to mention the cost of retirement.

Cuda, Surprised you still live there... Oh you forgot the new welcomed border friends influx coming your local neighborhood......

And Water moccasin, rattlesnakes, alligators people driving 15 mph below the speed limit with there heads spinning around like that girl from the Exorcist

I will be following the migration myself...we have a place on the west coast. NJ will always be home but only for the summer months. I am also looking at the end of the month in both North and South Carolina as a possible retirement area and selling jersey and florida. I have some years left to work, but it's good to have a plan. Got to be careful Florida...if NY and NJ keep running to that state we could end up no better than the North east......Liberals like warm weather also

Check out Lake Murray in SC. Beautiful big lake. Waterfront homes. Less expensive than waterfront in NC.

Friends that were lifelong fla residents are moving to the Carolina's. I might just do the same...It is a beautiful region. Going up in a few wks. to visit. May check out some land.

Everyone from Northeast is going to Carolina's too. Looks like I'm going to continue to trailer to the boat ramp down there. Marinas are all full, and my 31ft boat is considered 38' with the engines plus a monthly fee for having a RADAR arch. So I need to find a place to store it on the trailer first year or two, we are renting a condo in Palmer Ranch at least this year.

Too late to worry about the northener's hurting fla 282. it's been ruined for a long time now. Local traffic is so crazy that you can't go out at certain times. Interstates are becoming parking lots with all the delays from car crashes.. Food places and bars are crammed to the roof, waiting in line is just part of the wonderful dining experience. Boating is nearly done too, idle zones and cram packed ramps, marina's, once isolated beaches overrun with tourist boats full of europeans. Trash left everywhere. Un friendly and downright rude and nasty people everywhere. It's not worth even coming to fla anymore. It's not just me saying this. I have charter customers that have had houses and condo's for years that are selling out and leaving for places like Arizona and New Mexico. Call someplace paradise, and kiss it good-bye!

I second this!! I thought there were nasty people and traffic jams on Long Island.....I never saw the likes until I moved to FL. Double the traffic of NY and ill be damned if any of these yuppies will so much as say thank you for holding the door. 9yrs after we moved , neither my wife nor I could take anymore, heading back north for good. I also had the delusion of boating everyday......also not happening unless you can shell out HUGE money for a marina, there are hardly any boat ramps and even fewer parking spaces for such. However, to any northerners thinking of moving down...please do so, id like even less traffic when I get there .
Rant over.

Years ago we went up to the Ocala, Gainesville area thinking we could escape the migration south,

after a few trips we realized we would rather live in the adult Disney World Naples

than the wild, but then I learned about the Lake County area and the St Johns river

with the price of housing being what it is in that area It separates things

I could add to your description but...

on a cool still night without a light in sight except for the billion bright stars up above ,,, don't be suprized out of the darkness to hear a calm quiet voice say ," we don't like your kind round here "

Hey - at100, mragu and any others--save yourself a bunch of time and trouble looking at Florida. Florida is full! No room left , no fun. Just mosquitos and alligators. Bodhi and 282 have it right--go elsewhere, or go back home where they do things the way you want anyway.

Miami is still a quiet utopia.

I agree about the influx, busyness and traffic currently going on.
Do not agree on on crashes due to Northerners. Remember we have plenty of practice dealing in busyness hustle & bustle plus bad/dangerous weather situations.
Not to mention the important amount of revenues we bring.... One can say or argue we only bring prices up but it takes $ to make improvements .....
What I really see after personally dealing with buying, selling condos and homes plus being a president of a condo association for well over 10 years is the market is currently insane. Again this has helped many Floridians/homestead sell their condos and homes in days, not weeks or months for numbers they could have never dreamed of. Hope it does not cause a crash down there. We have had Canadians and Europeans for as long as I can remember going down.

...florida has always been like this. real estate appreciation is NOT something new at all, for someone buying anything but a shack residentially. bought a home in southeast florida for high 30's in 1966. sold it 7 years later for 72 in one day. you can count the number of slow years of real estate marketing in southeast florida on one hand, versus the economy of everywhere else. i exaggerate a bit, but you get the jest...
