Does anyone think Florida is overrated?

Let me be clear, I do not think ecology or geography is overrated. Lots of beautiful beaches, swamps, and natural habitats.

But I do think there is a case to be made that Florida is overrated when it comes to their peers. First, the job market isn't that great. There is no metro area in Florida with a higher median household income than Atlanta, Austin, or Raleigh-Durham. Florida's public schools are not in the top fifteen of all states as well, and teacher pay is low. Florida also isn't dirt cheap, and has a poor cost of living to expense ratio. While the weather is pleasant during the winter, you have to worry about hurricanes, and the humidity in the summer is a killer. I would much rather live in Austin where the humidity and heat are similar.

Finally, I do not like the political vibe of the place. It skews older and more conservative, and they are some abjectly repugnant political figures in those states. The Villages isn't calling my name. (lol)

Anyways, what do you guys think? Do you agree? Disagree? How have your personal experiences been with that state?
