I don't think Florida is a hell hole by any means. My FiL is from Long Island and he nicknamed Tampa the "Sixth Borough" because of all the New York transplants there. One of my big concerns with Florida is that it seems to have a real penchant lately for having lightning rod politicians rise through the ranks. I mean, hell, you have Trump, DeSantis and Gaetz all coming from that state. I don't think you can find a trifecta anywhere in that ballpark (in terms of controversy) anywhere else. It also seems more so that DeSantis has really made the legislature there his subordinate. A lot of his actions (Martha's Vineyard, Disney, etc) seem either illegal, self-serving, or any combination therein. I also don't see much substance from him. Only form and straw villains. I do worry about the political trend currently going on there.
