Admittedly I haven't checked, but I'd be willing to bet my salary would be 1/3 to 1/2 of what it is here. . . What good is it when a mortgage payment (using 1% of total as a benchmark) is still twice your monthly income?

I lived in FL once and vowed never to do it again, but maybe it has changed in 15 years. . . Maybe, just MAYBE I'd consider looking at it. Then again, distant memories of torrid humidity, bugs, boring-as-hell landscape and legions of white trash types living in trailer parks are percolating to the surface of my fuzzy memories. . . Like I said, maybe it has changed in 15 years, but just for starters:

(1) They have a governor named "Jeb" (worse still, he's one of "them").
(2) 15 additional years of obnoxious New Yorkers migrating there couldn't have helped matters much.
(3) Two words: "Terri Schaivo". 'nuff said.
(4) Hurricanes. Big'uns. Lots of 'em.
(5) Even crappier construction by even more unscrupulous residential contractors than here in California. . .

I dunno. I think I'm starting to remember why I left there and ended up out here, but I'm open to suggestions I guess. . .
