Yeah I moved back at the end of '21. Between covid-induced furloughs and landlords getting super greedy with rent hikes I was done. For what they were asking I'd much rather be back here.

No kidding. Our rent in FL increased by 60% between 2020-2022, which made it comparable to NJ rents. Unfortunately FL wages never bothered to keep up. My NJ salary is 3x my FL salary for the same work.
