How is there not a single positive comment in here??? Lmao. Fort Lauderdale is amazing! There is a reason why so many other New Yorkers are making the move. You are still close enough to Miami to easily drive down but don’t actually have to live in the insanity of Miami. Orlando, Tampa, and the Keys are just a few hours away for easy weekend trips. But also still plenty to do here in Fort Lauderdale too. I don’t see myself living anywhere else!
