Living in Florida

What the no income tax pitch tends to leave out: real homeowners insurance and hurricane prep costs, the trade offs longtime residents describe, and what hurricane season actually means day to day.

• What are the pros and cons of living in Florida? Sunshine and no income tax, but heat, humidity, and hurricanes.
• How much does Florida's cost of living and insurance offset the lack of state income tax? Insurance eats the tax savings, and then some.
• What do people who moved to Florida wish they'd known first? The heat and humidity are a lifestyle, not a season.
• What does hurricane season mean for day to day life in Florida? It's a season of watching, not panic.
