Yeah, traffic? Im supposed to be terrified of the Central Florida traffic? Hahahanicknyr15 said:Everyone is different. Strange right? I love the heat and humid. Traffic? lol. I can’t get anywhere living in NYC. The traffic is a joke and it’s worse than EVER. Affordability? You cannot rent a shitty (legal) studio for under 2k. Forget about 2 bedrooms. The winter? I’m done. Cannot and will not do one more. I’d rather live through 4 months of Florida summer than 9 months of northeast winter. I’m a coastal guy, I love the ocean. There’s risks everywhere in the world. Every state has issues. It’s all relative to what you want and where you lived before. None of the negative stuff I hear scares me one bit.
Im glad I was born and raised in Brooklyn. Wouldn’t have it any other way. But at this point in my life, I know what makes me happy. I’m lucky to have the means to live the way I feel most happy.
I live in Chicago. Im kind of familiar with traffic.
I drove a semi through every major city in the nation for 30 years. Im kind of familiar with traffic.
But its the Central Florida traffic that's going to push me over the edge? BwahahahahaTake me piece by piece.....

There’s literally no such thing as rush hour anymore where I live. It’s just 24/7. I don’t know where people are going every hour all day, everyday. It’s nuts.SPEEDY MCCREADY said:

Traffic? I truly plan on spending 5-7 days lounging at the pool, or sitting in air conditioning. Maybe some fresh water fishing excursions once every couple weeks. A couple evenings a week at Epcot.nicknyr15 said:

Same. I plan on living on the beach or down the block from it so no more stand still traffic 3-5 days a week on the way to the beach for me.SPEEDY MCCREADY said:

I could do the Keys or maybe the Sanibel area during winter. I could never live there in the summer. The rest of Florida? Not so much. We will most likely stay in Westchester County, New York . My dream would be to have a place in Montreal for the summer and a place in the Keys for the winter. With a boat. Not sure we can swing that. Most likely we stay in NY and travel when we want.0

The Florida housing is ridiculous. I've watched the prices plummet over the last 12 months. But finding single family homes in the area we want, that DO NOT have HOA, isn't easy. Its a whole different world down there.nicknyr15 said:
Yea dude I’m in no rush. Theres an abundance of inventory. Again, good luck and keep us updated!SPEEDY MCCREADY said:
Right on! The housing market in Florida is tanking. Im in no hurry to buy. Ill rent a year, make sure we are happy, and then we will make our next move. Being an hour or so from The Gulf, Cocoa Beach, and Daytona(Although I wasn't impressed with Daytona our last trip), sounds perfect.nicknyr15 said:
That’s exciting!! Best of luck. I’m not too far behind. I’m done with nyc. Can’t take the weather anymore amongst many other things. Narrowed down to Melbourne or Stuart Florida. Hoping by December to have an apartment rented. If everything works out and we love it, we’ll be on the hunt for an ocean front condo.SPEEDY MCCREADY said:Heading down to the Orlando area in 2 days. Going to look at 3 more apartments, and make our decision on which one to rent for 12 months. Kathy is going to keep working for 2 years, hopefully from home most of time. Our house will hopefully be officially up for sale within the next 3-4 weeks. All the major work has been finished. Gonna have a pod delivered and start loading it up with our belongings. Also going to get a small dumpster delivered and load that up with garbage and the furniture that we are not taking with us. Im paying someone to drive the pod down to Florida. The price was much cheaper than I was thinking it would be.
Hopefully the next 3-8 weeks go smoothly.
Im not really worried about the house selling. It’s going to sell quickly.Keep us updated!
Good for you for making the move. You only live once.

I can’t get anywhere living in NYC. The traffic is a joke and it’s worse than EVER. Affordability? You cannot rent a shitty (legal) studio for under 2k. Forget about 2 bedrooms. The winter? I’m done. Cannot and will not do one more. I’d rather live through 4 months of Florida summer than 9 months of northeast winter. I’m a coastal guy, I love the ocean. There’s risks everywhere in the world. Every state has issues. It’s all relative to what you want and where you lived before. None of the negative stuff I hear scares me one bit.
Im glad I was born and raised in Brooklyn. Wouldn’t have it any other way. But at this point in my life, I know what makes me happy. I’m lucky to have the means to live the way I feel most happy.
I live in Chicago. Im kind of familiar with traffic.
I drove a semi through every major city in the nation for 30 years. Im kind of familiar with traffic.
But it’s the Central Florida traffic that's going to push me over the edge? Bwahahahaha
And truly that's about it. Haha
I really don't see myself battling to much traffic throughout the week. Unless I need to run to the liquor store for more fresh fruit for my pool side cocktails.
I was happy to survive the last 4 days without the traffic, locusts, or alligators ending my life.This weekend we rock Portland0
