Say what you will about the South, but....

Nope. It's a common knowledge fact that sunshine laws in FL are extremely lenient, and that contributes at least a little to our exaggerated perception of the state's wackiness.

Maybe take five seconds to google a claim before you start talking shit next time, dumbass.

It's gonna take you a lot more time to Google your claim for the 49 other states, dipshit.

It's like you don't even know what claim you made. Wow.

Lookoot_behind_you@reddit

Oi, Fuck-face. Look here. This ain't a debate. This is you being presented with a basic, common-knowedge fact and denying it without evidence.

If you want to up-end a commonly held belief, you need to present plenty of evidence to the contrary.

You can tell me that 'Mercury being the closest planet to the sun' is bullshit, but unless you have something to buttress your claim, you're just exposing yourself for the stupid sack of shit-for-brains that you are you piece of fuck.

We've already established that you have no reading comprehension. Why are you still shooting your idiot mouth off?

A ton of people retir to move to Alaska.

...and Montana, Idaho, eastern Washington, rural-ish Illinois and Indiana....

I'm in the Seattle area looking at one of those rural states where I can get double the house for half the money and none of the neighbors, if possible

I’m on the Washington coast now, but I grew up in rural Illinois. Don’t do it. You’ll get bored as hell and regret leaving behind the PNW nature. If I had to move back to the Midwest, I’d choose Chicago or Kansas City. Went to college in KCMO and it’s a nice city with lots of good food. Cheap houses.

I hear you but I also grew up rural, in Pennsylvania. Boring is subjective. Give me some boring fields and mountain ranges and not any visible human being for as far as the eye can see. The last direction I'm going is toward another city.

Cornflakes1009@reddit

Well, the Midwest certainly has fields, but no mountain ranges. Southern Illinois is beautiful in the Shawnee area. Very rural down there.

grasopper@reddit

Yeah I was leaning more toward the former three states in the comment I commented under than the latter two. More north and west on the east side of the cascades. There's also plenty still remaining rural on the west coast for now. But point behind, far away from cities and populations

Give it a few more years...

They probably do in the southern hemisphere. 🤔

In Australia. 100% they do

Australian from Queensland here. People definitely move up here from southern states.

Dave19762023@reddit

....then they move back south when they realise the north is full of Queenslanders!

Takes 'em 30 years, though.

Funny, that's what my grandparents did. That's what I aim to do. 😂 My family has been in West Texas since the days of covered wagons. Sand is cool and all, but our white skin craves the snow.

With global warming - it might be beneficial to settle in cooler environments. (Not joking)

TalinKaleth@reddit

Because they can't afford it

And probably can't read a map 😂

Yep they do. Every fucking summer, snowbirds flee Arizona for the north. The flee from cold in winter and heat in summer, while they use inside climate controls in both places to maintain ideal temps. Don’t get why moving has anything to do with it. Pick your place and stick it out.
