As someone who grew up there I do assert that there is beauty and fun to be had there. There are still some beaches that have not been swallowed by society’s expansion. And there are cities that still have some charm. Saint Petersburg has a growing art scene and tons of live music and the beaches that the locals use are uncrowded and clean. Orlando and Jacksonville both have great local music. There is nature to enjoy as well. Rainbow River and Weeki Wachee are still beautiful.

Florida’s politics is trash though.
