Yep, its kind of like the pot calling the kettle black.
I’ve been as far North as Jacksonville and south as Key West.
Miami alone five times.
Love kayaking the Everglades and flyfishing in the Keys
Loved flats fishing around Rockport TX too.
Not worth it now IMO.
FWIW, I’m about five years out from moving west to the 5th largest economy in the world. I’m good with paying more taxes and rigorous environmental laws.
