That is an option they would do if they could find someone to share it with. They were looking at renting a 4th bedroom in a house that already had the other rooms renting but the owner wouldn't let a couple rent the room, only a single person. They have a group of friends that live down there but they all already have apartments.
Have them ask their friends for all the facebook etc groups of CMs that they can possibly join and connect with folks. Put their names out there looking for roommates. Neve know who might be thinking of moving and perhaps be a good match.
I realize the OP is talking about Orlando, but @MillauFr's estimates are pretty accurate for the South Florida coast.
I agree, when it comes to barrier islands. I was referencing the South Florida mainland. We do have hurricanes on occasion, but total devastation is more than rare. The worst we've seen in a Cat. 4 hurricane is power lines down, fences blown over & sporadic flooding. The only real disaster that has happened, since we've lived there, was a condo collapse not far from us. That had nothing to do with hurricanes. It was shoddy constructions.
It's all about location & where more people want to live. Some places are simply more desirable than others.
Sure. I would rather in Seattle but people often short change these old rust belt cities. Their cultural amenities in cities like Cleveland and Pittsburgh often match and sometime exceed what you can find in some of the most wealthy cities in the country like Seattle and San Francisco.
That's true, but based on population it's clear that more people prefer to live near a large city or on the coast.
If they are entry level CM's, they are not likely to be laid off, it's management and office positions that are primarily affected. But it is true that if hours need to be cut, least in seniority will get their hours cut first.
Weather? I would not willingly move to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, basically anywhere snow/cold is normal four 3-4 (more?) months of the year.
Depends on what you consider horrible. In the midwest, we get the same hot, humid summers, plus freezing winters. We get about 4 weeks a year that are nice where it is not either too hot, too cold, or raining. I will take months of nice weather in Florida over the few weeks where I live.
Well, there is no place with PERFECT weather (although I'm still looking). But yes, I would definitely take the heat/humidity of Florida (there's always AC & pools) over cold/snow/ice ANY day.
I’m looking forward to next week. Today was great. I hate anything below 70F.
i suspect proximity to employment plays into it a good deal re. seattle in particular b/c when those jobs went remote and it became apparent they would remain so many seattle folks FLOCKED to the more rural areas of the state.
That's your opinion though. My *IDEAL* (but not realistic) would be 70s-80s with no humidity. But neither your preference nor my preference make a difference when it comes to housing pricings. It comes down to what MANY people want.
