I think we may be getting all the liberals from Michigan here in FL...

Retired UAW, thicker than flies...

I don’t ever see NYC clearing out. After the DiBlasio disaster they’ll swing back to a Giuliani type.

Hard to believe high taxes and over-regulation are detrimental to an economy. Hunh...learn something new every day - unless you’re a libtard.

I spent my first year out of college in Michigan, working for Dow Chemical in Midland.

It's a very pretty state with an odd sort of feel about it

By golly, it is a pretty state. But, in 1961-62, the "feel" I got was conditioned by:

1. Driving into Marquette (up on the UP) on July 4 -- in a sleet storm.

2. Experiencing my first 30 below temperature.

3. Around November 1, wondering why people were tying streamers of fabric around the top of their radio antennae. By December 1, I knew why.

4. Maneuvering around all the ice skaters on Abbott Road, skating to work.

5. Going to lunch at a Saginaw restaurant, returning to the car and finding the parking lot strewn with roofing nails -- with four guys in a black Cadillac looking on.

6. Every-other-Tuesday, the entire town of Midland smelled like grape juice. A considerable improvement over some of the other smells that emanated from the Dow plant.

Actually, side from Winter and the unions, Michigan was a very neat place...

Can we get our deposit back for returning Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to her birthplace in Queens? How about if we pay?

You got that right about Dade.

The South Americans are coming in and overstaying their visas by the tens of thousands, probably 40% of the population is illegal and the corrupt County Government is flush with cash due to tourism and spreads it around to their family and friends.

They have no scrutiny as the press and the Feds are in on the scam, and as long as the gravy train keeps on rolling, it seems like Havana/Caracas North will maintain the status quo.

Property taxes are relatively low and stable, the only violent crime is committed by the descendants of the slaves that the GOP set loose without repatriating them back to where they came from, and as long as you stay out of Liberty City or Opa-Locka you are pretty safe.

Dade is arguably becoming more conservative, as Venezuelans fleeing the communist government are supplanting the white liberals who are leaving because they can't deal with hostile hispanics who refuse to speak english and hate commies their fellow travelers.

Both places have plenty of problems. Given my choice (one I’m glad I don’t have to make) Florida, hands own. Mostly because of climate, both social and weather.

No income tax in FL is a comeon. The state of FL probably has fewer expenses than NY. But FL makes up for it in other ways.

It’s not a coincidence so many of the PGA golfers, etc are based in Fl. I think a guy named Limbaugh moved down there from NYC too, didn’t he?

New Yorkers move to Florida and Florida becomes New York. What’s the big deal?

Rush has spoken about this several times on his program. From his comments, I gather his main reason for moving was to get away from the onerous taxes in NY and NYC.

This worse than it first seems. Floridas population completely changes over every seven years
