I don't deal with mildew here, love bugs is a central Florida thing (never see them here), does not flood (being here all my life I can't recall a single flood, maybe some deep puddles but nothing like the Midwest when a river crests), wild fires?? Maybe in the Everglades but not that often, last hurricane to hit Florida was Wilma and that was 2005. Nothing happened to my home.I could have written the same thing except about living outside of Philly!
I love being close to NYC, DC, Baltimore, the beaches of NJ and DE, beautiful lakes in PA and MD, historic landmarks, great theater access, some of the most amazing public gardens in the USA and outstanding dining options within minutes of my home. We also have access to some of the most advanced medical care in the country.
While I love visiting FL, I hate heat, humidity, bugs and the threat of hurricanes. I'd rather deal with the occasional snow than mildew, love bugs, flooding, wild fires and storm damage.
