Info How does one move to another state?

[olds]

City Data forums are useful.

But I moved to an area that I have been visiting for years so I was familiar with the area.
I was also retired so I didn't have to look for a job.

I suggest selling everything and buying new stuff in your new place unless you move it yourself. Movers are a HUGE hassle and will break all kinds of things. Plenty of people use cheap movers and then their items are held hostage for more money. Goggle it.

We ended up with stuff that isn't our and are missing stuff that we never received. (It wasn't a fair trade as I got a baby's high chair for a portable compressor along with what ever else was in that container) It an issue because we put everything in storage while we house hunted. We missed the window for reporting lost items because of this. But, I wasn't about to inventory everything as it went into storage.

We also have furniture items the wife doesn't want to use. So we paid to ship them here and had/have to get rid of them.

Lets see.... Florida positives:

(1) It's usually warm during North American winter.

(2) No state income tax.

That's all I've got. (and I've spent a lot of time in that crap-hole)


The list of negatives is quite extensive to say the least. 😉

You also have Cleetus McFarland, who is a shining example of the typical "Florida Man"!

Nowadays, you can probably find a 100% remote IT job online. Once you have one of those, you can live anywhere that has decent broadband.

I used to live in North White Plains. I liked it, it was fairly quiet and the cost of living wasn't insane. I live on the eastern Connecticut coast now, which is also nice. When you see suburban Connecticut depicted on a sitcom... yeah, they pretty much got it spot on.

Depending on how much stuff you have to move, either get a U-Haul or a dedicated moving service like Two Men and a Truck.

Just because Florida has more then its fair share of morons doesn't preclude a few decent folks with normal intelligence moving in!

Just GTFO.


Don't come South. Everyone and their brother are moving here. Contractor just started a 1700 house subdivision 15 min from me. Podunk USA is getting crowded. FL is good though, not really the South.

Definitely don't go south. The majority of people there think backwards. Like tell people to STFU when they ask for some data to back their insane claims like most American oil production is dead due to the keystone pipeline being shut down. Or go radio silent when asked to make any type of argument about anything else. Because they have zero facts and are just ignoramuses that revel in their ignorance.

Plus the majority of racists are in the south, and misogynists, and all the gay phobic tards too.
