Florida is not one place just like how NorthEast is not one place.
Cambridge, MA:
is very different from Kensington, PA:
no i haven't been to Kensington, but i have been to Cambridge. it was paradise but also it was August and it will be different picture in January and i can't afford anything there anyway.
ideally you would have one home in Miami and one in Cambridge and spend half a year in each ... as soon as i win the lottery.
actually i haven't been to Miami but i do know the winters there are significantly milder than even in Orlando.
it was cool before and after i was in Orlando - it just happened to be summer weather while i was there.
Miami would be a great place ( climate wise ) to live during winter and Boston during summer. but this would cost about 4X as much as having one home in Orlando.
again, i haven't been to Miami - it would have been a fairly long drive from Orlando.
on other hand hand i did drop by Tampa to check out the goth night scene there as it was just 1 hour drive from Orlando ! i managed to checkout the night scene in both Orlando and Tampa in the same night. as advertised Tampa has goths while Orlando and Jacksonville do not.
as goth-adjacent myself i like having the option to hit up Tampa like that ... but i wouldn't want to live in Tampa myself ... it's a bit more run down than Orlando and so is JAX.
Orlando is a step up from both JAX and Tampa.
Miami is PROBABLY a step up from Orlando, but not sure.
Ponte Vedra ( and to lesser extent Nocatee ) in St. John's county is VERY nice but those aren't cities. they are JAX suburbs and JAX is a dump.
