But, the 9 or 10 days a year we live with actual hurricane scares, are worth not having the freezing winters. No ice, no snow and being able to have all the windows open much of the year makes it worth it. It is actually GREEN here all year. Plus, I love looking out the window and seeing sunshine, even when it is too humid to go outside much. Most of us leave our air conditioned homes, get in our air conditioned car and go to the air conditioned mall or work place. I LOVE being able to go bare footed most of the year & not worrying about coats and scraping car windows! The traffic is also quite bearable in Cape Coral - not like many other areas.
Nothing affordable is perfect. (Not that this is affordable) but I appreciate the value.

Wow? I find the humity grossing. The traffic absolutly untalerable with all the seniors who can't barely even walk anymore "Worse off drive". And infested with these darker looking, smaller type speces of human called Mexicans. It's amaized how one persons view of misery, can be someone else's paradise.
I guess all I can say is I'm happy for you that you found happiness in your choice of domiciles.
