Even I can answer that: because you're not in China.

You are so right, my friend!! Thanks for the reminder!

Why do I live here?

Let us know the answer when you figure it out as there are many of us asking the same question today.

New England has 3 super cold months (January, February, March) each year and nine months of pleasant weather. It's a good trade off.
Florida has warm weather and low taxes but it's a cultural wasteland.

LOL, this should be interesting. How so?

You're right. Those strip malls every couple miles are damn interesting.

I don’t think they’re as interesting as perfect 10 Latinas walking around the beach in thongs, but to each their own.

You’d be surprised at the amount of artistic achievement down here from the various other cultures that inhabit the state. Combine that with the temperate climate year-round and low taxes that you get from living here, and you have a few reasons why old people come here to die. They want to drop dead in a place that’s gorgeous. Anyway, hope you’re staying warm in those sub-zero temperatures. Sounds absolutely ****ing miserable.

The beaches and fishing are nice. Aside from that what is there to do down there?
It's just overpriced restaurants, crummy art galleries, and old people stuff.

I give Florida credit for the aquamarine water and white sands full of hot Cuban girls sunbathing. It's fine to visit around this time of year when it's 2 degrees in NE.

Otherwise, give me the grey, ominous New England waters with towns full of run down seafood shacks selling steamed chic lobsters for around $6/ each.

It is miserable but it's fun to complain about.

3 pro football teams, 2 pro basketball teams, two pro hockey teams, two pro baseball teams, 3 major college football programs, some of the premier night clubs in the country, outdoor weather year ‘round at your local watering holes, and basically every entertainment venue that Massachusetts has to offer with less taxes to boot.

I still love Massachusetts. I was born there. But I’ll take the Florida sunshine and low taxes all day and twice on Sunday. I visit up there at least once a year. And this is definitely not the time I come up. Stay warm.

I outgrew nightclubs when I was in my 20's and the professional sports teams down there suck for the most part.

With that year round heat comes palmetto bugs and monitor lizards.

To me, Florida is a nice place to visit but . . . (you know the rest).

Not sure that is what Tune meant by 'culture'. There are 145 colleges and universities in Florida, a state with about 21 million residents and over 65k square miles). There are 114 just in Massachusetts, a state with about 7 million residents and less than 11k square miles).

I wasn’t responding to Tune. I was responding to YOUGOTMOSSED when he asked me what there is to do down here. I answered the culture question earlier. Aside from sledding or skiing, what is there to do in Massachusetts that isn’t in Florida?

Attend 8 Patriots home games?

Visit Revolutionary War sites.

Get fresh lobster.

Pay retail for Treehouse beer.

I am sure there is a similar list going the other way.

It is insane for anyone to argue that it's better to live in New England that FL on a day like this.

I am going to bump this thread when the next hurricane hits Florida.
