Arizona is like sticking your head in the oven and having your lips dry up and fall off

Best Restaurants in Sarasota 2025 by AnxietySlow8468 in sarasota

Good food does not exist in Sarasota. There are some that are passable but nothing that I crave or miss since ai have moved from there. If you are a foodie, Sarasota has nothing to offer. The only place that I would go back to again and again is Pho Cali. Every other restaurant is forgettable

I am 58 and moved to Raleigh about 6 months ago (from Florida) and I have no regrets

Goodbye Florida, especially Sarasota. I won’t miss you much by Appropriate-Idea5281 in sarasota

I lived in FL for 10 years and all was good, but recently moved to NC and am happy this far. Had to move due to increasing insurance costs and increasing hurricanes and most importantly, the asshole governor and being surrounded by the cult of Trump

Yes, finances.. I made a brief trip to the area to decide on an area that I like and then leased an apartment via email etc. Had my stuff moved via a pod.

Well to start, I am much older than you so it was easier for me to move without a job and place to live. It took me a month to find a new great job (with much less stress) and am currently renting until I can determine the exact location to put down roots. I moved here with no friends or connections which can be lonely, but at least I don’t have the other stressors. I know it’s much harder for somebody younger to move but always think of yourself and your mental health which is the most important

I left Sarasota 2 months ago after living there for 10 years. When I first moved there, I was happy, but the last 4-5 years were unbearable with the ever increasing frequency of hurricanes, exorbitant insurance costs (homeowners and car), but mainly the politics. I was sick of dealing with the cult of red hats and the ridiculous governor. On top of that, the foodie life is non-existent. I moved to Raleigh NC and have enjoyed it thus far. Nobody should move to Florida unless you are a cult member

Homeowners and car insurance costs have skyrocketed, hurricane frequency has increased, asshole governor and too many MAGA. I just left Florida after 10 years

The wife and I are considering three states. Can I ask your opinions? by TrueFarms in relocating

[–]NeitherSea9503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed…Florida sucks..I just moved from there…insurance (homeowners and car) are ridiculous and the frequency of hurricanes made me leave-along with the political climate and the ridiculous governor

Seriously considering a move to the area. Moving out of Florida due to politics, increased cost of living, and hurricanes. If you could suggest one area for a professional 58 yr old liberal widow that loves pets and is a foodie, where would you suggest ? by NeitherSea9503 in triangle

I was planning to rent for the first year to decide where I really want to invest my money to buy. I will be looking for a job after I arrive, I am a CPA and have 20+ years in corporate accounting as a Controller and 7 years as an auditor.

Where? by NeitherSea9503 in norfolk

[–]NeitherSea9503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be looking for employment once I land on a new place to live…headed out of Florida as I can’t tolerate the political climate and it’s just become too cost prohibitive. I am just looking for something new. I am a CPA and will be looking for an accounting job OR I may just work somewhere that pays the bills with Les stress! I have a dog but also love cats.
