What are the pros and cons of the state of Florida?

Question

Hey, so my dad got offered a job in Tampa, and although he declined it, I love that state. Currently, I live in the state of North Carolina, and am thinking about college in FL, since I love it so much. My dad in the end said he was glad he turned it down because: it is SO hot and humid ALL the time, car insurance doubles, need hurricane insurance, etc. so may someone please tell me the pros and cons?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Your DAD has covered it quite well.  It's the Pits for humidity,  Flatter than glass, everything is privately owned and controlled.  North Carolina is much nicer and has better schools.  Got to Florida on Spring Break and be glad you don't live there.   Besides; Rush Limbo lives there.

Answer 2

Its sunny most of the time, which is awesome if you like the beach or being outdoors, winters are not freezing but it does get cold in the northern part. We have a lot of hurricanes and tropical storms and the humidity is terrible.  

Answer 3

Pro: the weather, nice and sunny most of the time. Love to go to the beautiful beaches.

Con: the weather. Tropical storms and hurricans seem to hit the place every year. Your dad's concerns are valid.  

Answer 4

Pros: Winters. Bright people, Nature, Beaches, clean air.

Cons:

Heat,in the summer. Don't believe those 89 degree temps you see. Draconian laws.  Ignorant people. Poor schools.
