In Response to Re: Which state would you least like to live in during retirement?: Florida. • Florida's state government is bizarre (to put it nicely) • Economy based on tourism and retirees moving to the state, without much planning on a diversified economy -- therefore, Florida is unable (or unwilling) to fund a lot of basic services • Florida's summer heat and humidity are absolutely unbearable • Tallahassee, Gainesville, Ocala (including the Ocala National Forest), Tampa and the Keys are nice, but the rest of the state is rather ugly • REALLY unfriendly people, especially on Florida's East Coast Posted by CH3CH2OCH2CH3net Unfriendly???I agree,must be due to state becoming "South Jersey" or " South Of Bronx"!!! |

I used to joke that even though I was a life-long conservative, I would turn liberal as soon as I turned 65. Sadly, looking at the list of top 10 worst states for retirees, I think I will stick with my conservative roots. Much as I love a white Christmas, I think I'll take a pass on any state north of the Mason Dixon Line. Likewise, I'm not a fan of hot summers. I currently live in Virginia and would consider a move to NC, SC, TN, northern GA or AL. |

Posted by jhbrew Locals hate snow birds, especially those who bring the worst traits of the home states with them. They are often rude, arrogant and talk down to the locals, thus doubly polluting the social environment. |
