Native floridian Tampanian here. Don't come....1) please don't move here!!! 2) we are over populated 3) No exaggeration, all the trees are being cut down to build houses causing air pollution and water pollution I'll explain below 4) we used to grow oranges and now all we grow is cement, concrete, car washes to wash all these emission producing cars, 5) Sink holes up the ying yang, 6) in 2023 taxes are sky high!!!!! Mucho dinero. My home taxes went from 1,900 to just under 6k raising my mortgage by $700 a month on a fix 2.5% interest rate 7) sky high home insurance 8) sky high car insurance 9) bumper to bumper traffic jams in Hillsborough County, Miami, orlando, and all other metro counties from 6am to 8pm. No longer is traffic heavy from 7am to 9am and 4pm to 6pm. Insead traffic is jammed ALL DAY LONG. 10) hurricane Irma, Ian tore us a new @** hole literally, 11) because so many people are moving here the prices of groceries and gas ( cost of living) is sky high because demand is high. We cant blame inflation for this one. High demand equals high costs. When we cut down all the trees to build concrete the sky becomes pollured because there are not enough trees to filter the air and produce oxygen. Also when those trees are cut down the soils becomere demineralized and cause water wash off into the waterways that then cause red tied, blue green algae, flesh eating bacteria etc. This is what's happening to Florida. P.s its not relaxing here. So stay where you are. We are over crowded.

I was a Realtor in Connecticut. I now live in Tampa and the Rental prices tripled since I have been here since 1994. I am on straight Social Security now and the rise in the cost of rents are driving the retirees out of their rents. There are a lot of elderly living on the streets and that is what is really happening. So talk about some of that. I worked for Century 21 in Farmington CT. I hear the rentals are twice as much there. The new 1 Bed 1 bath rents in Tampa and Riverview since they are building new there and are starting at $2,500 per month. That is over my SSI income base and that is crazy.

@@ltcmoose2001 I am leaving Tampa (largo) I grew up in the 80's on Madiera beach. Literally ON the beach. Moving to Spring Hill close to Pine Island area. Just to many people. To much traffic. Everything is paved over. Can't see the beach from the road anymore when driving your jeep cause every inch is covered in condo's 5 stories high etc. Getting old sucks. Time erases everything.What it doesn't erase, it renders unrecognizable.

I can say in a perfect world with a natural beauty this exposition is good in showcasing, that natural beauty and infrastructure and opportunities in an ideal world From what I’m reading, and what I Have heard secondhand by dozens of people who have left Florida is that the infrastructure job opportunities and social quality life has degraded sufficiently the people can enjoy the natural beauty as a resident By all means, and choose to visit for short periods of time, but be careful where you spend your time because not all the communities are capable of treating visitors well

About the only affordable housing for seniors is a cheap trailer and big HOA fees. We will be getting a snowbird place and the cheapest areas are away from the big cities. Places like Winter Haven and that area are inexpensive. We have also been watching the market up near Lake City where homes are reasonable. We aren’t going to spend summers there so the interior heat won’t bother us.

Hi, Tampa is a great city...it will depend on your budget and what your preferences are in terms of surroundings. There are many great places to live in FL. I would take a process of elimination approach. Start with a general location (central florida, SW coast, east coast etc), see if it fits with your budget, then visit 3 or 4 different cities within the location to determine what fits your lifestyle best.

Many of the homes sellers are trying to sell have seen an update/renovation in many years. When the final comes - sellers are going to cry useless tears and buyers are going to laugh all the way to the bank!!! LOL
