Florida is great, but yes, very strange.
There are a lot of transients there, and a ton of people "starting over." Not to mention the fugitives

.
There's also a growing homeless population because the homeless in the north are figuring out that it's easier to be homeless where there's no snow

(I shouldn't laugh, because homelessness in't funny).
But it's a gorgeous state with great weather, so it's it's going to attract people till the end of time. I've mentioned this before, but if you really want to laugh pick up a Dave Barry or a Carl Hiaasen column. Those guys will make you pee even when they're writing seriously.
