Would you uproot your life, leaving behind your family, your job etc if you dont like the weather in a country.

(Obviously theres always more than one advantage of moving someplace but to build a life somewhere, would weather be top 3 factors in choosing where to live).

I never knew house insurance was so dramaticly different from state to state. We had a wind storm at our new house. The insurance company called us to inspect our roof and replaced it. We've owned the house less than a year at this point. Florida doesn't care about home owners unless you own one on a beach and you get federal money to rebuild it everytime it gets blown away.

Get out while your house value is up. No one knows what's going to happen when the commercial property market crashes. People aren't going to return to the office for a dollar more then unemployment and commercial property owners think they are going to get their way because they always have, they'd rather watch the market crash then undervalue their property.

Definitely don't retire in Florida the state doesn't care if you can't afford to evacuate during hurricane. Now imagine trying to evacuate when you're 65 on a fixed income. Sounds like a stressful retirement.
