It’s really not that bad. Family just purchased a new build in FL, $5k for homeowners and flood ins. Which sounds high compared to NJ rates but their $2k a year property taxes certainly make up for it. Other family has an older home on the other coast and pays about the same amount, and even less in property tax.

must be by location, i've heard some horror stories but haven't checked every single town

​

when i was in the army I visited a few states and met a bunch of people from around the country and a lot of places outside the northeast are pretty good to live in. many of the places I visit now have a bunch of good ethnic food too

The days of dirt cheap living in Florida are certainly gone, but same can be said about most of the country.
