It’s the ultimate rivalry – California vs Florida. And, although there’s no right or wrong or best or worst… there are plenty of things to consider when choosing one over the other.
California vs Florida – Your EASY Decision to Move to Florida. Both states are growing like crazy. California has over 40 million folks. Florida has over 20 million. And having lived in both for a total of 36 years, I have a front row perspective to share. Although California is a stunning place… I show why this is your easy decision to move to Florida. California vs Florida – I break it down for you here…
First I talk about how in the California vs Florida debate, you should consider climate and geography. California is more diverse, while Florida is flat. California’s weather is more varied while Florida is more tropical. In California you can surf and snow ski in the same day. You can climb the highest mountain in the USA (I did that five times) and walk the lowest elevation when you done. The heat can reach over 132 degrees… while it can dip below 30 below zero in the winter. Florida, being tropical is a steady climate will hover near 70 all year round.
California as deadly earthquakes. It has fires, mudslides. Florida get lots of rain and hurricanes. It’s wet, sticky, humid half the year, while perfect and lovely the other half.
Although California has a century of arts, music, theater, and movies… Florida is positioning itself for the same. The investment happening in Florida now to attract artists, music and development is enhancing its cultural attractiveness. Yet its multicultural influences run deep from language, food, and vibrant international activities.
Of course California has things like beaches, mountains, deserts, old trees in the world, tallest trees in the world, finest wines in the world… Florida is no slouch with 1,350 miles of coastline, white sand beaches, tropical island, everglades, caverns, springs and the oldest city in the USA.
California is the 2nd most expensive city in the US costing 50% move the the average state. Florida is 2% below the national average. The average home in California costs over $700,000, but in Florida its about $330,000… more than 50% less.
And when comparing California vs Florida… California has taxes taxes and more taxes. Florida on the other hand does not fancy itself for taxes, but the elimination of. Florida is one of 9 state that has no state income tax. It’s like getting a 6-8% raise by just moving to Florida.
The choice is yours, but after a deeper review of the pros and cons, the differences and the costs of each state, the answer to California vs Florida may be easier than you think.
