Most people have left Florida. It’s a ghost town. The other day I saw Woody Harrelson rummaging around looking for Twinkie’s.

More roaches than people down here now. At least I don't have to hear about how great the pie and gravy is in NY every time I go a pizzeria or Italian restaurant now.

I'd consider moving back to California if all the non native people were gone, I'm not at all considered about that ever happing however. 😣

FWIW, We have lived and visited all across the country and avoid bitching to locals about anything, no matter where you go, it's some one's home, don't be a bad guest.
