| I almost moved there 11 years ago when my dad was offered a job in Jacksonville. This was before we had been to Florida on holiday, so had no idea what it was like.
In the end, I'm glad we didn't go, because although it is a nice holiday destination, I think living there could make it less special. |

| I love my holidays out in Florida but wouldn't want to live there permanently at this time in my life.

| Well I must say that I am enjoying living in California, the kids have settled well in their schools and made friends easily. I think California is probably a better place for them whilst they are of school age - but when they are older I think we'll move to Florida  |

| I live in Central Florida. I moved here because my company was here. It's okay. Florida is a third world state compared with the midwest, of the NE. There are better parts of Florida to live in. Jacksonville is by far the best kept secret in Florida. Nice neighborhoods. Great beaches. And, for the Disney lovers, a 2-3 hour drive from WDW. Also, better schools. Central Florida schools leave a lot to be desired.
My wife is from Montana. She misses it bitterly! We've spent some time there and it's just lovely. Not sure if I'd live there though.
The live in Florida/not live in Florida debate has been on here for a long time. If I had a choice? I'd relocate to The Carolinas or Virginia. But with the housing marked firmly down the toilet right now, I guess I'm stuck in paradise! |

| We'd love to move to Florida. But anywhere in USA will be good. I've changed career and now I'm an HGV driver. This might mean I've got a chance in a few years of making it!
Although there's the current worldwide fuel crisis it's estimated that by 2012 there will be a shortfall of over 100,000 drivers in America. |

| | FL is nice..but the USA is a big place...different places are nice to live in at different times of your life...my biggest thing about the US is the weather...if it did not swing in most parts from way to hot to way to cold most of the Northern States would knock FL into a cockedhat... |

| | For two countries, that keep going on about how close they are, why is it so hard for a brit to move to the US but so easy for an american to come here, why is it only the select few, the rich who can move there. |

| I'd move to FL, but not to Orlando. My company would let me move to Miami if I wanted but I suspect my wife would not agree to that 
First choice would have to be Denver. I lived there for a few years in the mid/late 80s and it's by far the best place I have ever lived - although I do admit that being young free and single in those days probably helped   |

| I have previously lived in Wisconsin for a couple of years and my wife and I vacation in Florida every year Oct/Nov time.
We are both RGN nurses in NHS ( ) and we often talk of relocating to USA or Canada. Not too sure where though. I think being too close to Orlando would take the excitement off the trips there, and as there is a definite snowbird/elderly population in Florida i'm sure there is plenty of work for us!! Only time will tell whether we go out there or just enjoy our holidays there.

| I and my family would move tomorrow but the hasle of getting a via with work and then getting a green card dont give me any sence of security. We've looked into buying a business and the minimum required to invest to be a business entrepreneur is supposidily 500.000 USD.
If there was a risk free way...I'd book the flights. |
