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.

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.
