The politics may suck, Ron Desantis is a moron, but South Florida is largely liberal unlike central and northern Florida. Not everything is about politics, you know.
The quality of life in NYC is abysmal, especially in Manhattan unless you’re rich, and you damn well know it’s true. When I lived in Brooklyn a few months back I was paying $2500/month for a 600 SQ ft one bedroom that had in wall ACs that weren’t sealed properly and let all humidity in during the summer and the cold during the winter which of course increased my already high ConEd bill, a dishwasher, and pay to use laundry in the basement. I also had practically no storage space, my kitchenette had one drawer for stuff. The only subways were the F&G which were a 10 minute walk away, there was practically nothing to do in my neighborhood (Windsor Terrace, by South Slope/Park Slope which was a 20 minute walk). It took minimum 25 minutes to get into Manhattan, downtown Brooklyn was about the same unless you biked there, and who really wants to ride a bike during the scorching summer or late fall and during winter? Not me.
I now live in the equivalent of FiDi. My apartment is 800 SQ ft, I have central air, more storage space than I know what to do with (I have a freaking walk in closet!), washer and dryer in the apartment, a dishwasher, trash pickup every night (I put my trashcan outside my door and they take it), an in ground pool on the roof with a sundeck and cabana with gas grills, a full gym, a huge club house with two pool tables, and a freaking movie theater that you can pay your own content on. It’s also a 10 minute walk to all the shops, restaurants, and nightlife around here. I’m paying $100 more a month for all of that. I feel like I’m living in a fucking palace. The equivalent in Manhattan would easily be $3800-4000 per month, I know because I looked and was about to move back to FiDi and drop 3 grand for a tiny place that was at least nice, before I got laid off.
Also the city doesn’t smell like ass and there isn’t trash all over the place like there is in Manhattan.
It’s currently about 75F here with a nice strong breeze, it feels like a warm late spring day, not uncomfortable in the slightest.
