Why you SHOULDN'T move to Miami from an ex-Floridian:

1. No income tax may not mean you'll be paying less.

The government still needs to fund everything and they have to get the money from somewhere. Pay attention to sales and property tax rates. Also, lack of wealth distribution efforts puts extra pressure on the poor.
2. The weather is not friendly.

Be prepared for extreme humidity that will cause changes in your skin and hair. And the bugs that come with it. The seasons are hot and hotter. Tornados and hurricanes are not outside of the norm. My own home was destroyed by 2004 hurricanes.
3. Florida man is a thing.

Maybe it's the heat or something in the water but bizarre things happen in Florida. I don't know another state that has an entire subreddit dedicated to their crazy stories. Go check it out if you need entertainment.
Most importantly, don't move somewhere just because it went viral!

The best part about the expansion of remote work this year is you can finally choose where to live based on what makes you happy rather than where you "have" to be. Take advantage!

All these reasons (and many more) led me to move out of Florida after 20+ years in 2015. I've been back exactly once since then.

If you're moving to FL because it makes you happy, go for it. But if you're interested because it's "in" at the moment, maybe give it more thought...

The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.
