SFL has the rudest most self absorbed population I’ve ever run into, the most dangerous driving conditions in the USA, highest insurance rates home and auto if you can even get the former, summer heat lasts all day and night for 10-11mo of the year, and unless you are an avid boater or golfer there are basically no outdoor activities.

If you are a boater or fisherman you need to be comfortable in uncomfortable conditions bc the prevailing east wind blows most days of the year and most of those on the water with you are either wasted or have zero experience or both. As a golfer I hope you like to sweat your balls off.

Public schools are horrible with the exception of maybe three pockets in which case they can be pretty good.

Miami Co base is why no one wants FLL

I don't hear too much about the IAH base. I know it's fairly new. Good or bad? Junior or not?

Well I'm like 120ish in FLL, I'd be #4 or 5 in IAH. Very tempting, but who knows if it'll stay open....

Not just no outdoor activities; from what one friend says there's no culture as well. People in south FL don't enjoy higher-cultured activities like seeing classical or jazz music, plays and ballets, art museums, etc. The culture is just bars/clubs, drinking, and being a douche. It's the main reasons she moved back to NYC.

That’s a good thing, we need more people in FL to move back to NYC.
