Not much of a survey. 1,220 folks surveyed. That comes out to 19 persons surveyed in each of florida’s counties.

I agree with oldenough. If you think you can do better elsewhere, go. I hear the cost of living in Egypt is at an all time low. You don’t even need the priceline negotiater or orbits to get a good hotel room there either.

The last I knew, we were still FREE to live any place we wanted to live. I say go ahead and move if you want to, I’m considering it and I was born and raised here.

Ha! I’ve lived in this area all my life and this is NOT NEWS!

Floridians (especially the old-timers around these here parts) have ALWAYS been “fed-up” with one thing or another. Fact they’re about the most fed-up bunch of ornery old complainers I ever did see!

$500 to register your vehicle is a bargain compared to other states. I have become a resident of Colorado and then Virginia in the past 10 years. I can assure you that Coloradans and Virginians would gladly pay Florida’s rates (and have no state income tax on top of that).

Yes, but we don’t want people moving into the state. We just want their money

I am frustrated that Escambia County as a whole cannot seem to attract new business to our area. We cannot survive on tshirt and sunglass sales. A lot of the new business seems to be going to Mobile. Can’t we learn something from them?

Check the costs for bringing a vehicle into the state. Over $500 in tax, tags, title per vehicle. Companies that are considering starting a business in Florida look at the expenses involved in relocating.

homeowners insurance rates in this state keep getting higher. the companys make a killing. they complain about hurricanes running up costs, look at their bottim line. we’re getting ripped. where are our representatives? i’m guessing in the companys hip pocket.
