A huge part of that has to do with the fact that everyone wants to retire to Florida. We are the world's graveyard.
I'm not sure I'd want to live in Florida. The weather is hot and humid in the summer, and Florida gets hurricanes.

They told them to stop sending the letters because, when they retire, they are leaving Canada for Florida and private health care.

I would not have mentioned it if the fellow had not specifically mentioned the "and private health care" part. :)
If it helps, I don't want to retire to Florida. Ideally, I would spend winter around here and summer on Lake Superior somewhere... but I don't think I will ever have the $$$ for that.

If you life on the gulf cost you mostly get sheltered from the
hurricanes. As far as the humidity goes, yeah, that sucks.

So it seems. I've seen multiple "Florida Man" stories in the news recently..

I think that Florida has replaced California as the destination for folks from the Eastern part of the country who are looking for a change and/or a warmer destination. Like California, and several other southern states, a lot of the folks there are not Florida natives, or their parents were not.

The first time I ever heard anything bad about Florida was from my
wife. She told me that the mosquitos were huge.

bought a larger house in Arizona, and paid cash for it. :|
Tell her to visit the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Spring. She'll change her mind about that.

California is already warm. Arizona's summers are so hot, I'm not sure I'd want to live there..

I hate hot. I'm happy with 30 to 70. When Colorado gets into the 80s and low 90s I'm miserable.

I'm the same. I like it up to around 70, maybe 71.
My mother used to always complain about the mosquitos in Michigan. I visit there at least once a year (but usually during July, August, or September).
The mosquitos here in Kentucky are worse.

I've been all over the world but not all the states. You're really making me t want to visit those places. :)

Really?
Nearly every single hurricane that hits Florida hits on the Gulf
Coast. Yep, really.

I had meant the Golf of Mexico. Golf cost? The area west of
Central Florida. Near St. Pete. Hurricanes can blow over there
but the East coast eats like, 99% of the shit first.
You are seriously confused. The east coast of Florida gets very few hurricane landfalls. One from last year (named 'Eta') came ashore pretty close to St. Pete. Several others made landfall on the Gulf side of
Florida too. None on the east coast.
All of this is easily verified, should you choose to do so.

The east coast ones, like Andrew, usually hit the Miami area or
points south.
Yes indeed. Most of them pass south of that, and then curl up into the
Gulf, coming ashore in the panhandle of FL, or in AL/MS/LA/TX. Last year
was fairly crappy for those of us on the Gulf Coast, sure hoping this next summer is not as bad.

It was indeed. Hope this year goes better for you all.

Someone once asked why they built a prison in da U.P. They were told it was because no one would want to escape.
Winter: You'll freeze to death before getting somewhere.
Spring: The bugs will eat you alive.
Summer: The bears/wolves/etc. will eat you alive.
Autumn: Hunting season. 'Nuff said.
