        I hope you’re white and heterosexual if you’re planning on taking that Idaho home. And not a woman who is capable of bearing children.

        Well, definitely don’t come to Florida, then. We’re having that issue, too. The heat index has been 110F+ for the last two weeks and I still see even more panhandlers than in recent years.

        I used to call Florida a toilet because it was fun to shit on, but I think it’s just a hellhole now. Vanishingly few benefits to living here, unless you have a lot of money.

          Yeah I would avoid Florida just due to the weather. Much more comfortable freezing to death than of heat.

        Hear you.

        I’m in the U.S.

        I finally bought a house in a horrible county about 10 years ago. I’m 62. I’ll end up living under a freeway overpass.
