If I were moving back (without family considerations), I'd probably lean towards St. Pete. Miami is nice to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. That whole stretch from St Pete Beach to Clearwater Beach is pretty nice tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I will say though, the traffic there in the summer is the worst I have experienced in my life. Makes rush hour in NY or LA look like rookie ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Florida has so many different metro areas to live in. It's fine. "Old people?" So, what I lived the first 24 years of my life in Ft Lauderdale. I'd recommend the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 It would be miserable living in Texas and Florida year round imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 IDK what it would be like living there (other than expensive) but Charleston was one of the best places I have eve been. Been there 5-6 times for a week or so each time. I absolutely loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Shorts in the winter ? Boy do I have a spot for you ... The beauty of San Diego is that the average high temp in January differs from the average high temp in July by only 15 degrees. One set of clothes Perfect weather year round is certainly awesome, but I can also go skiing 3 hours away in 10,000 ft mountains. I'm 2 hours from the desert, perfect for watching meteor showers . We go camping in Yosemite/Sequoia 9 months of the year. Beaches are fantastic too, but the water isn't as warm as in Florida Also: no mosquitoes, an under-appreciated benefit when you're wearing shorts / T-shirt year round. California is a craphole ? maybe ... if you're a dumbass. I think the best advice above was to not tie yourself down to anything just yet, but explore the US and see what fits your life the best. Plenty of spots that are warmer than NY and they each have their charms and challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I'd guess you'd want Northern Florida. Not a terribly hot like southern Florida and still getting majority of the warmth. Beaches are better from my experience also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t live in California unless you and your spouse are making over a 100k each. And in Southern Cali, that’s not even enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaches are better from my experience also It's just as hot, yet more humid because it's inland so it's actually more uncomfortable without that ocean breeze. It does get a bit colder as well, but I could probably count the annual days below 32 degrees on one hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonu62882 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I am looking to move to Cali (LA) within the next year or so. I am trying to get into Netflix. That would be a dream. I never thought I would ever want to live in Cali, but I've been there multiple times now, and I hate leaving every time. It was love at first sight for me. San Diego would be nice, too.

I make 70k and the woman makes 61k and I doubt we could afford a place in San Diego, as lovely as it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Bay Area and LA you need to make 175k each and forget about ever owning a house without being house poor. San Diego 125k should do the trick. However you can live comfortable in the Central Valley (Sacramento down to Bakersfield) making 60k each which is where I live. Weather isn’t as nice as the Bay, LA, or San Diego, over 110 during the summer and under 50 during winter, but you are literally two hours away from everything in Sacramento and Sacs a cool town. Two hours from Tahoe, the Bay, and Yosemite. And five hours from LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
