Tired of the winters? Come to Florida!

Didn't you know with globull warming in effect we have winter vacation spots on the Arctic Ocean.
Yea, right. And Florida will turn into a barren flooded swampland, full of alligators and python snakes.
Yes sir.. Was just listening to the news and heard about the hurricane situation down in your area
Some people may think winters suck but they beat the hell of out hurricanes and sink holes. I've lived in places that have some pretty gnarly winters and yet I've never had to abandon my home, even temporarily, because of a snow storm.
It's in the Bahamas and it hasn't reached Florida yet, "dumbass".

I am way south of where the hurricane is. And it will not make land in Florida. They are predicting Georgia/S. Carolina..
But I digress. I would much rather put up with the hurricane threats than cold winters up north. If that's what you like...great!
I was born and raised in Chicago. I know what bad weather is. Been through the times when the entire city was closed down!
Been through many 30-80 below zero wind-chills. You can have them.
I have in-laws down in Floriduh. Their grandfather moved them down there from Canada to help build Mercury Gemini and Apollo with Nasa, Half of my wife's family stayed in Florida (because the winters are cold, here) and half returned to Canada. The ones that stayed on Florida have had violence, crime and misfortune visited on them over and over. Most recently, a year ago, my wife's niece died a horrible, violent death under extremely suspicious circumstances that only got the most cursory and superficial police investigation (Yes, they are White) near Jacksonville.
I will also mention that, comparing notes, they receive noticably inferior Heath care in Florida that costs a lot and delivers an interior product (a country-wide phenomenon, likely).
The lucky ones came back to Canada and the unlucky ones stayed where it's warm.
To each his own.
I do pity you.
No reason to pity me. We love it here. Sure there is some violence. Mostly drug related. But it's much better here than say...Chicago. We live in a gated community so no violence where we live. We will be moving into a brand new community at the end of this month. It's gated too. Our health care is sufficient for our needs. As for pity....I offer that to the homeless in Canada, especially during the winters.
