Best state EVER
I used to live there. It's a legit 2/10. Even when I was young, I could tell the place was crap.

My dad would rage at so many terrible drivers and mean people in the streets of Broward and Miami Dade county, and so many people I met were just jerks in general. The weather was painful to live in even during a normal year, and then factor in the hurricanes (my parents survived Hurricane Andrew) and it's just awful overall. Disney World, Universal Studios, the football/basketball teams and the baseball stadium are the only redeeming qualities to the place that keep it from being a 1/10. I'm not much of a beachgoer, but to those who like the beach, that's a plus too. But a lot of places have beaches, and most of them are probably better than Florida.

Judging just by the beaches, theme parks and Miami, it's pretty cool.

Worst drivers in the world, but some of the hottest girls too.

Remember when you were freaking out and had to leave the state because of a hurricane?
Most states don't have to deal with that.
Florida man stories alone are a 10/10. I've lived in a couple of states and so far it's my favorite. There's a whole lot of dumb but the beaches are nice and the weather is good (I say as a hurricane I scheduled to hit me tomorrow).
Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Yup. They have to deal with earthquakes, tornadoes, blizzards, gangs, guns, insanely cold temperatures, all types of shit.
florida is a 7/10. it has its problems and too many hickish people but overall is a good state and better than most

And Florida has 3 out of those 6 things on top of the hurricanes though, plus sinkholes are more relatively more common there.
And I don't know about you but I'd rather tough out a blizzard than deal with a literal hurricane that could wipe everything to my name off the face of the Earth.
Plus it has one of the highest rates in the nation of violent crime, identify theft is the worst in the nation there iirc, ranks near the bottom (possibly dead last, I don't remember) for education spending, shit tier public transit even for major cities, etc.

The place is only nice for a visit or vacation, it's a shit hole to actually live in.
Ehh. Where else are you gonna see a guy opening a coconut with a machete in a parking lot.
