Ask HN: S: Thinking of moving to Florida or Texas? What city and why?

3 points·gamechangr··7 comments

I seem to have a whole host of friends moving to Tampa. Tennessee too. It’s getting a little nutty in the Pacific Northwest.

We are buying a vacation home in Florida while we travel the country for a few years and stay in AirBnb’s while I work remotely. The rest of the time it will be a rented out for short term rentals. It’s going to be our official home and where we stay in the winter.

It’s strictly because it’s a tax free state and warm.

When we decide to settle down, we may move back to our current home - which will also be rented out - or sell and move to Florida permanently.

You're a bit late to the party. People are starting to leave Florida: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-least-affordable-state-...

That sure doesn't feel right.

I went to Orlando and Tampa last month and found them very affordable.

My friend lives here: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/Florida/Tampa-Apartments/Oak...

I saw a 2 bedroom condo was $1,300 2 miles from the beach in Clearwater.

I do know that Miami is now pretty unaffordable. I know nothing about the other places mentioned in the article (naples)

Soon people saying they're 'underwater' on their apartment will take on a new literal meaning in Miami.

Your source says "Florida's population is growing faster than any state but Texas".

Unhealthy water though
