Moving To Florida Blog

I have been reading the blog Moving To Florida 

http://www.stateoffloridaliving.com/

by Ron Stake. 

It appears that Ron's approach is to convince everyone that moving to Florida is a bad idea. Ron moved to florida around 1995 and he has seen a lot of change. specifically, he has seen the real estate  market crash and a lot of commercial development. I suspect this has turned him negative.

Regardless, I encourage you to read his blog. If considering moving to Florida? You need to do a ton of research. you should listen to opinions you agree with and dont. hear things you want to hear and dont want to hear. You cant only read that Florida is unicorns and rainbows - you need to hear about Florida from multiple perspectives.

As you read Ron's blog, you should be able to tell which points are valid, an which points are exaggerated by Ron's negativity. If you can't tell the difference? You aren't ready to move and need to do further research.

I have many family and friends who moved to Florida, they love it, and regularly encourage me to move too.

So, where is the truth about Florida? I think it lies somewhere between the hype and Ron's assessments. And I think the truth is different for everyone.

So, include Ron'a blog in your research. You'll find the posts tend to be easily negative, but he is less negative when answering people's questions. And Ron needs to be given credit for the time and effort he puts into the blog. Just read it with a critical eye compared to what you know to be true.
