    I am having a hard to trying to understand why a state seems to hate its citizens so much, and why those citizens chose to remain there.

        Most do. We were very- VERY low income. Still managed to move from Orlando to 3,000 miles in WA. Saved money, and only took with us what we needed.

        I understand that some cannot do this due to their personal circumstances, but you’d think that if anyone there really cared, you’d still see people moving out in droves. Yet… they’re not.

        Do you really think the entire state is so destitute that they are forced to live in that shithole?

          I did some work in Fort Lauderdale for a while. There are apartment complexes that stretch for miles with broke, geriatric occupants. I think you underestimate the poverty in this country, especially among the aged and/or disabled.

          There was a report stating over 60% of the population couldn’t handle an emergency $400 bill. But it is the communities fault isn’t it. Sure.

            So… EVERYONE should stay just because some can’t leave. That’ll surely fix the problem! Oh… wait. That’s status quo!

            How’s that going for ya?

                I’m still reiterating my point that I never said EVERYONE should leave.

                Or do you just like to argue?
