Don’t get butt hurt; if you choose to live in a hurricane area, don’t be surprised if a hurricane comes through, which I’m pretty sure is what he was referring to. Most people don’t want to live in an area that can get wiped out by a storm, Florida ain’t that desirable for many for that and other reasons

MIA/FLL is getting there but still isn't on the level of those areas in terms of COL. Rents have doubled in Brickell and people from NY and CA are still moving in and talking about what a great deal it is.
Dade country lies on probably one of the best pieces of land in the country geography wise. Problem is that the population of Dade county makes it a completely unlivable hell hole. I say wall it off and let them have it as long as they pay taxes including a damage surtax for ruining paradise. They get no access to any other county and we get safe passage through Dade without stopping.

Butthurt? That area hasn’t had a hit like that in around 50 years. So it’s not like it’s a regular occurrence. And even so it’s ****ty to joke about peoples misfortunes regardless. But I guess you and him are the cool kids of the forum and seem to have each other’s backs. You do seem to jump to his defense often.
Still rather live here than some place like NYC, ORD or DTW. At least I can walk around my neighborhood without getting robbed.

I have a LOT of sympathy. Class depends on the day.

Nobody's been robbed in my neighborhood in the last 200 years. What's your point?

We choose to live where we want for our own reasons. You people who think we should like what you like or somehow think we all want to live where you live, but somehow can't for some reason??? That I don't get. There's a big world out there outside of Florida. Florida happens to be one of the least appealing places in the country to me, but I don't make the mistake of thinking everyone else thinks the same way I do.

This is a bit outside the scope don’t you think? The guy wasn’t praising Florida but rather defending it for claiming those who live there shouldn’t be disregarded during a disaster simply for living in disaster prone area. Everywhere is the country is disaster prone. Mid west get tornados, west get earthquakes and fires south west gets rolling blackouts and NE gets snow storms. Claiming people choose to live there so they should deal with their consequences is insensitive. There’s no denying that. No one’s asking for handouts or money here but to make light of people suffering isn’t right.

Yes, butthurt. Crap happens, thats life. One day you will learn that. Luckily in this country we dont have to deal with the horrific that often, unlike a lot of the world. Im not sticking up for Blue, im telling you to stop crying, you did not lose you house, your parents being "close" was the extent of your "pain." Maybe im just tired of hearing people every day complain and cry about things that do not even affect them. You were not affected.

Why is it everyone must be offended just for the sake of being offended?! Stop being offended, be an adult and stop getting your feelings hurt because someone posted that Ft Meyers sucks right now.

I feel like this is the exact conversation in Miramar when someone about to be fired told network planning that people would also like to fly between two cities that aren’t in Florida.

Exactly. Ironic that even Spirit only seems to think people want to travel to and from Florida.
