Jacksonville

If we travel all the way up to the northeastern corner of this sunny state, we will find the wonderful town of Jacksonville. Just south of Georgia, this is the biggest town in the United States (outside of Alaska) if you only look at the land mass. It is vibrant and occupies quite a bit of land, which is conveniently joined by several bridges. Getting around this town and from the downtown area to the lovely beaches it has is easy, and you won’t have a lot of headaches despite how big the city is.

If you enjoy football, particularly the NFL team the Jacksonville Jaguars, this is yet another reason to consider moving to his city.

After all, with how big this Florida city is, you can definitely find the right neighborhood for you, no matter how lively or quaint you want it to be. And renting here is going to be a breeze, as the median amount people spend is around $1,093. For a city with over 1.5 million residents, it’s actually a great bargain!

    They are a bunch of liars. Ron DeSantis is a great governor and he loves America.

    If you don;t like Florida and what it offers, move away, I’m sure Chicago, LA, NYC, SF, Boston, Philly, anyplace in New Jersey, Delaware, Asheville, even Denver, will welcome you with open arms and be happy to take your income.

    Chris – If you think FL is not welcoming to gays, you haven’t been to Key West – it’s a haven for the LGBT + community.
    I love FL & Gov DeSantis.

    Florida used to be New York with palm trees. Now it’s to the right of Texas. The politics are raw, rude, and leaning toward Gilead. Families should avoid it. The schools are not supported by state budgets, the attacks on fine books and even colleges is shameful, voting can be a frightening experience, a terrible and threatening place for LGBQ+ people, and families do not know if one of their children is not straight. That happens later after the education system has already failed them. Righty seniors think it’s paradise. People carry guns, young women can’t obtain appropriate healthcare, schools are a mess, and diversity is smothered. As a lefty senior, formerly active in politics, I do not anticipate a swing toward even the center for at least a generation. I’m sick of the rancor and have recently moved away to a blue state. The people are much more respectful and polite. Remember, Florida used to be a slave state and the deep and painful divisions are it’s heritage. The love of or hatred of Cuba is a big factor. Why so many righties hate socialists (they think we all are) and communists and are fine with a fascist dictator, I’ll never know. So do your homework folks, before you move to Florida. If you think you can avoid the scourge, think again. It permeates everything.

    My first year in the Navy after basic training was Key West, FLA. & I loved the weather, on the coldest nights I went into town, wore casual pants, short sleeve sport shirt & a light windbreaker, slept under a sheet & light blanket, loved it.

    Way too conservative and the rumors of promiscuity and rampant STD’s doesn’t sound speaking to be. Also state in quite a mess under DeSantis. Not for everyone.

    Myles, I wondered the exact same thing. My brother has lived there for 6 years and says it is the most wonderful place he has ever been.
