Hello Florida! I am here to join the party!

 We were very excited to move to Florida and we thought everyone in Florida would be excited that we selected them! We were headed south to be one of them and believed they would be happy and welcome us into the Florida brotherhood.

That didn't happen.

Other transplants were welcoming. For Florida natives and residents who had been in Florida for decades? They weren't as friendly.

Many of these communities were small dusty orange groves not that long ago. And they have watched as their wilderness has been paved over and huge housing tracks grown. Their infrastructure is stressed, the roads are overloaded, the lines are long, and the services are consumed. And its all these newcomers that are to blame.

We have read the responses. "We are full, go home". If you mention anything positive about where you came from (like, we need a Kosher deli), the response is "if you liked things from where you came from, go back there", The bad drivers are always northerns. Wild animals in the neighborhoods is because outsiders are stealing all their land and pushing the wild animals out of their nature habitats. And, the demands of the newcomers is making everything unaffordable for the native Florida residents.

For a while, 1000 people per day were moving to Florida. The number now isn't that high, but it is still very high. All those people need housing and services. Unfortunately, Florida couldn't build housing fast enough. Even though there is continual road building and road expansion - it is never enough to keep up with expanding traffic.

A while ago, I needed to get some blood work done for my doctor. I had to wait for three weeks to get an appointment because the lab's schedule was packed. Every time I go to the lab, it is standing room only in the waiting room. These services can not keep up with all the demand.

We have a local car dealership. Anytime we set up an appointment to get service done on our car, we show up and they try to convince us to go someplace else. The dealership was not designed for the amount of demand it is receiving. That is leaving the customers upset because they can't get service.

This growth didn't happen over a long period of time. The growth has been explosive. One of the largest farms in my area recently  sold to make room for thousand of houses. Meanwhile, a neighboring piece of land is putting up houses by the hundreds. What was once Florida wilderness a few months ago, is now streets and houses.

Coming to Florida might answer a long held dream for you, and you might be very excited. Just be careful expecting others to be as excited for you when you arrive. It was a big surprise for us.

Cost of Groceries In Florida

 The cost of groceries are skyrocketing! It is easy to wonder whether groceries in Florida are more expensive than anywhere else. I have  performed grocery studies in years past to show that groceries are NOT more expensive in Florida (as long as you stay away from Publix, which is outrageously expensive!)

I did a study back in 2014 that compared Western New York grocery prices to Central Florida (Click here) and discovered that if you normally shop at Walmart or Aldies for groceries, the prices are about the same. Has much changed in the past ten years?

I recently decided to make a beef stew and was shocked to find how expensive the beef stew meat was at my Florida Walmart. So, I decided to do a comparison:

Wegmans in Western New York: $8/99/lb

Walmart in Western New York: $8.48/lb

Publix in Central Florida: $10.49/lb

Walmart in Central Florida: $8.48lb

Given this rather limited study, my conclusions from 2014 are confirmed to still be true: Publix is expensive. Walmart in Western New York and Central Florida are the same. And we all love Wegmans (their meat is so much better than Walmart). But the point is: groceries are not necessarily more expensive in Florida if you are used to shopping at Walmart.
