Cost of living is ridiculous in CA, but in FL it’s almost impossible to get home insurance for hurricane-related damage because so many companies are going under. They can’t afford it. So it’s cheap until your home is under water.
And I get that natural disasters happen everywhere, even more-so now, but it’s not uncommon for FL to get hit with 2-3 major storms a year.
I’ve lived in Texas for awhile (not my first choice but here we are), and 4 of my most recent neighbors in my neighborhood are from CA. And ALL super conservative, one has the bumper stickers and has been flying the US flag on his house upside down. I’m not joking….it’s not the liberals who are moving here, lol cries I wish!
I’d never move to FL purely on the basis of wtf is even going on there, also the weather. My parents moved to TX because, idk maga I guess, and then immediately called and complained their neighbor was a surly gun-toting type. Like? Yeah no shit. Also the weather in Texas is absolutely wild?!
For CA that does seem to be the case. The people I know that have decided to head to Texas (from here in Washington) are still pretty liberal and ended up moving to Austin. We’ve also gotten a ton of people from all areas of Texas who are sick of how far right the government is there and decide to move to one of the more expensive regions in the country to get away from it.

Native Texans voted for native Texan Beto O’Rourke, transplants went for Ted Cruz, exit poll shows
I hope FL gets a better deal with its CA transplants, and I hope the folks who are leaving due to financial hardships do okay.

So many other states to choose from lol.
FL is fucked. We had something like 300k+ MAGA assholes move here just during one year of the pandemic.
