Which State would you rather live in: Michigan or Florida

[OSR stands with Israel]

Of Course Florida since:

1. It has way better job opportunities

2. Miami, Orlando, Tampa> Detroit

3. Florida Generally seems more of an exciting place too

Michigan for not being Florida!

[TDAS04]

Michigan easily.

[Illiniwek]

Michigan for not being Florida!

That's coming from an Ohioan. What does that tell you?

[Lambsbread]

There are few places on Earth that I would want to live in less than I want to live in Florida.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Florida, any day, and not just because of Ron DeSantis.  But it doesn't hurt.

[It’s so Joever]

Florida, but I would still talk s**t about it every moment.

[Cokeland Saxton]

Michigan, preferably the Grand Rapids area

[Ferguson97]

Michigan and it's not even close.

I read somewhere that cold air actually makes you smarter. That's a point in favor of Michigan.

[Alben Barkley]

You don't get swamp ass in Michigan. Their lakeside beaches are actually much nicer than Florida in the summer due to it not being super f--king hot. They also have actual seasons, underrated scenery in places like the UP as opposed to the tourist traps that make up most of Florida, nicer smarter and less crazy people, better politics, and a better flagship university and college town to go with it. They have an actual, unique and interesting culture, whereas Florida feels like one big Jimmy Buffett/Disney resort. Oh and no gators or sharks in Michigan.

This isn't even a contest.

Holy hell, it's actually true. And explains so much...

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Michigan for the weather, Florida for everything else.

[Koharu]

Even ignoring politics, I would do very poorly in Florida's climate & don't want to deal with hurricanes.

[John Dule]

I already live in Michigan and I can tell you firsthand that it's better than Florida.

[Mr. Illini]

Midwest is best.

Florida is a dump.

Now this is a Critical Race Theory I can get behind.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

I'd rather live in a place where the state government isn't actively trying to take my rights away and attacking my dignity simply for being who I am.

Michigan by a large margin, Florida is quite literally the most HP state in the country at the moment, imo.

Also, Cold weather > Hot weather.

[Lechasseur]

Michigan

[SWE]

Michigan is a top 10 best state to live in, Florida is bottom 10

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I prefer warmer climates but otherwise Michigan seems like a nice state. The cost of living is lower than it is in Florida and there's a lot to be said for its beaches which are less 'tourerized' than Florida's. Zero hurricanes. I would imagine there's much less of a bug problem too.

[Continential]

I would simply pretend the below is the entire state of Florida, leave under absolutely no circumstances, and have a very fun life. It's really not that bad.

Sounds awful.

If it was a socially progressive state in terms of the government and the voters, Florida hands down (even with the constant threat of having a gator in the back yard).  Beautiful coastline in Florida - and Disney World and the Orlando area have so many great attractions.  If you remove politics from it, it's a nice state.

Michigan I don't know very much about except that the winters can be brutal there.
