Nice to see Orlando on the list

Orlando is very friendly to young people. Our housing is much cheaper than the big cities. Also we have the great theme parks and very close to the beach. Education in the Orlando area has improved greatly. So if young people stay and start families they will have good schools for their kids to go to.

We do have some issues. I4 is not fun to deal with. The Summers are brutal with the heat but Dec through April is beautiful so it balances out. Yes we have bugs, gators, and snakes but they leave you alone for the most part!

STEM jobs are moving away from the coasts to lower cost areas -- VaAkita 01/23/2019 02:33AM

Unless there is competitive advantages why stay in a high cost area? -- Naelbis 01/23/2019 8:59PM

I blame it on NIMBY's limiting construction of additional housing -- hucareshokiesrul 01/23/2019 3:49PM

I4 does suck most of the time... now, if you can get rid of the heat, -- HokieSignGuy 01/23/2019 10:42AM

One good thing about the heat is that it helps control our population -- OrlandoHokie 01/23/2019 11:39AM

Would say a "comparable" house in San Francisco is more like 20X... -- EDGEMAN 01/23/2019 08:36AM
