I was born & raised in Miami, FL, recently escaped as far north as West Palm Beach.  It's an improvement, but would still love to move somewhere further north, central or north FL, GA, AL, etc.  It is bright & sunny much of the time, but over half the year is suffocating, steamy, sweltering, itchy-bug infested, high humid HEAT.  We seldom have to worry about our gardens getting frozen but few things grow in the summer months, not that you'd even want to get out there & try anyway.  Winter & spring are lovely but I hibernate through the summer & fall.  There is also the very real threat of hurricanes each year that must be prepared for well in advance.  It's getting horribly over-developed here and we could soon run out of water if it doesn't rain more over Lake Okeechobee and folks stop wasting what's left.
You're welcome to come but buy an existing home and be frugal with the water, please.
