I know you're not into TA but what do you follow?
Here's your fallacious logic. Person A lives in a quake zone. B lives in a 'cane zone. B was recently hit by a storm. Thus Person B has increased risk over A.
Quite a few "B's" said they were leaving Fla a couple years ago.
I've lived in a Tampa for almost 30 years and love it here.
4 or 5 months of the year it's way too hot and humid, but the rest of the year its nearly perfect weather. If you're single, there are plenty of hot women around. To be honest with you, the south tampa area is loaded with hotties. As far as real estate, it has more than doubled over the last five years in most places, although prices are coming down now. Also insurance prices have also gone way up with all the hurricanes that hit the state a few years ago and property taxes have also risen. It is still much more economical than California. I have family that lives in San diego and LA. I visit from time to time. I also love S. cal and would love to live there too.

I think I would rather deal with a once of year hurricane then a 3-6pm daily traffic gridlock. It's basically house arrest during those hours in CA.
Plus Cali trading hours suck.
As for all the talk about Mexicans and Cubans I don't mind multi cultural living in fact I prefer it to an all white 'polo shirt suburb' type setting.

Quote from TM_Direct:
FL= Hurricanw cycle every couple of years ( two week advance notice)
CA= Mud slides one year, Earthqaukes the next, OUT of CONTROL fires the next, FLooding the next...( no advance warning)
FL: HUmid
CA: The coast is wonderful if you can live within 3 miles...otherwise 110 degrees in summer in the Valley and outside Firsco
FL: Police state? Nazi's? way too many Jews down here for that
CA: Rodney King, Police Corrupiton and riots and looting every time a court decision doesn't go the right way.
FL: FPL...one of the best energy companies..
CA: Rolling blackouts because of poor energy companies and policies
FL: Invaded in early 80's for a few years by Cubans
CA: In the middle of being occupied and taken back by Mexico
FL: Cubans assimiliated and are thriving Americans
CA: Mexicans do not want to assimilate and instead are making CA people adapt to them
FL: South beach (topless models with thongs showing crack)
CA: Venice Beach ( topless hobo's pushing crack)
FL: Blue sky and Rain
CA: Smog...really bad smog
FL: The Sunshine State
CA: The Land of Fruits plus NUTS
Great Stuff...
I'll say that Cali drivers are far superior to FLA drivers...
especially when the snow birds come down.
