I realize it's off-topic but you don't even pay school tax in Florida!?  How the hell does anything function down there!?

^^^ This, Disney and the other theme parks subsidize the lack of state income taxes.  Property taxes in Florida are low compared to NY.  I believe Florida property taxes range from 1.5% - 2% of the purchase price of the home.

Not at all.  Currently ranked right about the middle for the 50 states and The District of Columbia at 30th.  10 spots better than OH by the way.

No state income tax either.  That makes it easier to pay for all that extra golf we're forced to play all year long....

You know, for as much as everyone told me how expensive it was to live down here, it really is not that bad. Even gas is cheaper based on the lower tax rate here than Ohio. Groceries are higher.
