[@paulmcgraw9284]

I have news for you..SC has bugs too!..and snakes as well. The weather in SC is also HOT, HOT, HOT in the summer. I do like the idea that places like Columbia have a winter..oh, not as bad as NY, but they do get cold occasionally. Hurricanes also hit SC but will not hurt inland areas as badly as the coastal areas. SC is also not as crowded as FL is. Let's hope that SC doesn't get as crowded. I'm from NY. FL has gotten just as expensive. However SC is cheaper and could be an option for me later on.

[@palmettomove]

Thank you for watching and for your comment. You are absolutely right on all of the above. I'll be ready to assist whenever you decide to move here.

[@DeDeDek-fx6st]

I live in Manatee County, just south of Tampa, I'm leaving as soon as my daughter grads from community college, this used to be a nice area early 2000's but now in Parrish they are adding 20K homes and have destroyed most of the natural habitat with daily killings of deer, hogs, coyotes on the side of the road. Numerous car crashes and deaths in the area also, do yourself a favor DON'T come here, its not that pretty anymore, my typical commute to work used to take me 20-30 minutes and now it can take 60-90 minutes with daily accidents on I-75/Ellenton area.

[@palmettomove]

Wow! So very sorry this happened. Maybe you should take a look at SC. As of now we have a bit over 5 Million people here... not a lot compared to FL. Let me know if you have any questions. Blessings!

You haven’t checked your stats lately. Over 900 people are moving to the state of Florida daily. I’m happy for all of you to move SC. I’ve spent a lot of time in the Charleston area. It’s just as hot. It’s just as buggy. The humidity is off the charts The traffic and roads are terrible. You pay state income taxes and property taxes on your car. Please move to SC. It’s getting too crowded here in Florida with everyone moving here.

[@palmettomove]

Oh yes, it is hot in SC. Charleston is worse than Columbia. I checked out the latestt stats and this is the info provided in the video. I also said FL has 20 million and counting. People continue to move to FL, others are leaving. I have quite a few clients looking for homes here in the Columbia area from FL. Blessed day.

[@RickBerg-b9k]

2:50 Just because Florida is the third most populated state, doesn’t mean it is crowded, it is still less crowded than most states, because it is a big state. What matters is population density.

[@The1ByTheSea]

at the rate it is growing ,the population density is scary .Everything is going up .Florida must think of a way to level its population density with protecting the natural environment .Florida must protect its natural environment:its fresh water supply .

[@The1ByTheSea]

true,Florida still has a lot of agriculture ,also Florida is one of the largest cattle states, but agriculture and cattle ranching are rapidly disappearing to home development

[@palmettomove]

That is a good point and an interested thought. Thank you for sharing it.

[@Miami543210]

The weather makes sense too. Actually. It is very hot and very humid year-round. Was a precious few short days. Being the exception. The weather is great for weeks vacation. But I think it’s old fast for many people. It’s not comfortable. It’s great for sitting on the beach. But it’s not fun sweating going about you every day life but when you wake up till you go to bed.

[@palmettomove]

Hey Gregory! You bring up a valid point about the weather, and your perspective aligns with the experiences of many individuals. Florida's consistently hot and humid climate can indeed be challenging for day-to-day activities, especially for those who may not be accustomed to such conditions. While the beautiful beaches and vacation vibes are appealing, the long-term comfort in daily life can be a consideration for people making decisions about where to live. It's valuable to recognize and discuss these factors, as they play a significant role in shaping people's preferences and choices regarding their living environment. Thank you for watching my video and let me know if you are considering moving to Columbia, SC. Blessed day!

[@Moneypower572]

I prefer Hallandale beach Florida beautiful city good beaches and restaurants and growing businesses and communities, and good night life. And the condos down there is going for good prices in the market.

[@palmettomove]

It's wonderful to hear that you enjoy Hallandale Beach, Florida! Your positive experiences with the city's beautiful beaches, restaurants, growing businesses, and communities, as well as the vibrant nightlife, contribute to the diversity of perspectives on different regions. The availability of condos at reasonable prices adds to the appeal. Thank you for watching my video!

[@The1ByTheSea]

and coastal South Carolina does not experience hurricanes ?

[@palmettomove]

Great question! Coastal areas of South Carolina can indeed experience hurricanes, given their proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. However, it's worth noting that not all areas in the state are equally affected. The Midlands region, where I'm based, generally experiences fewer direct impacts from hurricanes compared to the coastal regions and for as long as I lived here I have never been personally affected by one.

[@Miami543210]

OK. You convinced me. Now I wanna move from Florida to South Carolina. Wow. I can enjoy the beautiful beaches, without all the traffic people and high cost of living. Signed me up.

[@palmettomove]

I'm glad to hear that the video resonated with you! South Carolina does offer its own unique charm, including beautiful beaches and a potentially different pace of life. It's fantastic that you're considering it as a potential new home. Remember to explore various aspects of the state, such as different regions, local communities, and amenities, to ensure it aligns with your preferences and lifestyle. If you have any specific questions or if there's more information you're looking for about South Carolina, feel free to ask. Best of luck with your potential move!

Florida beats the hell out of two feet of snow. Traffic, stay home and stay safe.

Absolutely! I've been here in Columbia for 10 years and have seen snow only twice. Both times less than 2 inches. Blessed day.

[@GoldOnSilver708]

The side bar to the right has a video titled "Don't Move to Columbia SC". I'm confused. I think I'll stay where I am.

[@palmettomove]

That is correct. I'm trying to show people the good and the bad about moving here. For instance if you like snow Columbia may not be the place for you as we rarely get snow. In the 10 years I've been here I've only seen snow twice. Thank you for watching and for your comment.

For many it is too expensive, but the rich will always live in S.E. Florida;cause no other part of the mainland USA has the weather/climate S.E> Florida has .The rich can play golf, boat ,etc year round in S.E. Florida. Plus it is a tax haven for them.

[@palmettomove]

Absolutely, Southeast Florida does have a unique appeal with its fantastic climate and recreational opportunities. It's understandable that the region is attractive to many, including those who appreciate the year-round options for activities like golf and boating. While Southeast Florida is undoubtedly a popular destination, it's worth mentioning that there are other parts of the mainland USA with diverse climates and lifestyle offerings. Some people might find equally attractive options in different regions that suit their preferences and needs. Whether it's the mountains, Midwest, or other coastal areas, the United States offers a wide range of choices for those seeking a place to call home. People may prefer South Carolina over Florida for various reasons, as preferences can vary based on individual priorities and lifestyle choices. Here are a few reasons why some individuals might find South Carolina appealing: Cost of Living, Four Distinct Seasons, Natural Beauty and Outdoor Activities, Southern Charm, Historical and Cultural Richness, Education and Research Institutions, Proximity to Major Cities. It's important to note that individual preferences vary, and what may be attractive to one person might not be as important to another. Ultimately, the choice between South Carolina and Florida depends on personal priorities, lifestyle preferences, and specific needs.

My wife and I are thinking of retiring in VA where my brother and our close friends live. But there's just too many churches in that part of the country.

Hello and thank you for watching my video. You are correct, this area of the country has historically been called the Bible belt. So, there are a lot of churches around. Are you buying a house in VA?

[@jayp4114]

What is so horrible about Churches ?

[@palmettomove]

@@jayp4114 There's nothing inherently wrong with having a lot of churches, as they play a significant role in many communities. However, for some individuals, especially those who may not be very religious, the prevalence of churches might not align with their personal preferences. It's important to recognize and respect diverse perspectives on this matter. People have different beliefs and comfort levels with religious institutions, and the video aims to explore various aspects that individuals may consider when deciding on a place to live.

But people are NOT leaving in Florida! That's the problem!! They're coming to Florida in droves! I wish people WERE leaving Florida. It's too crowded here!

[@palmettomove]

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for watching my video! It's true that Florida has seen substantial population growth, and the influx of new residents contributes to the state's vibrancy. However, I understand that the increase in population may lead to concerns about crowding. Urban planning and infrastructure considerations become crucial in managing the challenges that come with growth. It's great to hear different viewpoints on this matter. If there are specific aspects you find challenging due to the increase in population, I'd be interested to hear more about your experiences and insights. Discussing these concerns can contribute to a constructive dialogue about the future development of the state. Blessed day!

[@CommonSenses101]

FL home insurance, Flood insurance, sink hole insurance plus HOA fees cost Floridians an arm and a leg. New people move Florida might regret down the roads. The other sides of the mountain is not greener than people would think.

[@palmettomove]

Thank you for your comment!

[@DoomFinger511]

All of that depends on where in Florida. I just spent 3 weeks there looking for property and found houses in gated communities with HOA fees of $135 a month and Condos with HOA fees of $800. It's wildly different depending on the town, no different than any other state. If you're leaving a state like Alabama, then Florida is going to be a rise in expenses, if you're leaving a state like NY then it's a drop in expenses. It all depends on where a person is coming from and their reasons for the move.

[@rd8370]

Are retirements taxed ?

[@palmettomove]

Hello and thank you for watching my video. In South Carolina, retirement income is generally subject to state income tax. If your retirement income exceeds the $10,000 deduction, it becomes taxable at South Carolina's regular income tax rates. These rates vary and range from 0% to a maximum of 7% for the highest income tax bracket. It's worth noting that, compared to other states, South Carolina often offers more attractive tax rates for retirees. It's important to note that while South Carolina does tax retirement income, some states have more favorable policies for retirees. For example, pension income is exempt from state tax in Illinois, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania. Each state has its own set of tax regulations, and these exemptions can significantly impact the overall tax burden for retirees. It's always a good idea to consider these factors when planning for retirement and to explore the specific tax implications in the state where you plan to reside. Are you thinking about moving to South Carolina?

[@shepardsmith3235]

Having lived in Chicago for almost all my life you dont know what you are talking about. Weather. Almost everything is indoors including exercise. The world ends in late November and does not come back until May. If your car dies in the coldest part of the winter. You have about 45 min before early frostbite sets in. Low light levels. LImited Summer. Extended Winter . Short Spring. Very Short, and its expensive and there are areas you dont go into and that dont tell you that you should not get off the expressways if they are adjacent to these areas. . They have had shoot outs on the Kennedy for a long time now. So glad to be in Palm Beach County. The kicker. The winter kills old people. Both my parents died prematurely during the winter. So dont complain about Florida until you have lived in places like this.

[@palmettomove]

Good morning, first I'm so very sorry for your loss. If I were to have had experience what you went through I'll be perfectly happy and content in FL. I think it boils down to our life experience. Some probably don't like FL and some other love FL and wish to move and retire there. Again, so very sorry and please know that I'm very respectful of your opinion. I thank you for watching the video and for your point of view.

[@shepardsmith3235]

@@palmettomove Thank You very Much. You hear the stories about people hanging on but you dont believe it. My dad hung on till after the new year and died six days later. He did in his house and the weather was appropriate. Interestingly, he had a lucid moment before he died. I asked him how did he feel (of course not knowing he had little time to live) and he said shitty. Thats what death felt like. Shitty. He went into slightly labored breathing and I expected him to continue but he had passed on and only his body was alive. He just turned his head hard to the right and he was dead. I saw it all. Its fitting that I as the oldest saw this. Same with my mom. But I wont go into the particulars. This is not going the way Im going. PS See that you are moving to South Carolina. Nice state. Been to Hilton Head and that is a wonderland. And Palm Trees too. Who wooda Thunk. LOL Be good and stay well.

[@michaelsatler3671]

Sure, I would pick South Carolina over Florida, gracious southern living with 4 seasons with a lower cost of living. Even if South Carolina has a state income tax, it's property tax is quite reasonable. But beware, especially if you are approaching upper middle age. Florida does excel over South Carolina in such areas as access to health care, elderly outcomes, health measurements of the general population, and life expectancy. While Florida nationally ranks in the middle, South Carolina ranks low, where the lowest ranking 11 states are all Red. If you are aging, and want to make the move to South Carolina, evaluate your health needs, and have competent health services within easy reach.

[@palmettomove]

Excellent point of view. Thank you very much for your comment. Much appreciated.

[@The1ByTheSea]

many people live in Florida cause they do not like 4 seasons.

[@The1ByTheSea]

everyone mentions:cheap living. I am moving out of of Florida cause it is to expensive.All right they move to another states do thousands of other people ,so the state or area you move to win 7 to 10 years will have the same problems .What are you going to to do move again? Move every 7 to 10 years cause your area got to expensive.

But if you were a real estate agent in Florida you would be making a video "Top 5 reasons people are leaving South Carolina". Come on, these videos are so biased, they are all just going to say that every state sucks and come to South Carolina because you are a real estate agent for SC.

[@palmettomove]

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective! You make a valid point about potential biases in these types of videos. It's essential to acknowledge that people have diverse preferences and priorities, and what may be a positive aspect for some might not resonate with others. Certainly, my intention with the video was to highlight some of the factors that attract people to South Carolina, rather than implying that it's the perfect fit for everyone. I completely agree that people have their unique reasons for moving to and from FL, and it's crucial to consider various factors such as weather, cost of living, and lifestyle preferences. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for watching my video.

[@brianarbenz7206]

I believe South Carolina has many advantages, but it is not my idea of a place to move to escape hot, muggy weather.

[@palmettomove]

I appreciate your honest perspective! Absolutely, the weather can be a significant factor in choosing a place to live, and South Carolina does have its fair share of warm and muggy days. Everyone's ideal living conditions are different, and it's essential to find a location that aligns with your preferences. If escaping hot and muggy weather is a top priority for you, there are certainly other regions with cooler climates that might be a better fit. It's all about finding the right balance of factors that make a place feel like home. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and for watching my video.

I've lived in S.C. for 71 years. S.C. is terrible... backwards and the education system is subpar as the state is run by Republicans. S.C. also has low wages, most jobs barely pay minimum wage. Very few unions in S.C., "union" is a dirty word in S.C. Also, this is part of the Bible Belt ...too many evangelicals and Baptists. Mosquitoes, roaches, raccoons & fire ants are abundant but fewer gators than Florida. Also, S.C. is very hot in the summer and the winter is very short.

Indeed, the ability to navigate challenges with a "can-do" attitude has been a notable aspect of the national character.

Absolutely, and that's completely understandable. Everyone has different preferences, priorities, and circumstances that influence their choice of where to live. What works for one person might not work for another, and that diversity is what makes our world interesting.

Oh yeah three months of hell heat and humidity! One extreme to the next! Pure hell on the body.

[@palmettomove]

Hey Rey! I completely understand. The heat is no fun specially if you work outside. Do you live in FL?

[@reyangulo9615]

No I live in Oregon! Eugene Oregon. The summers are miserable! Pure miserable humidity! All 9 months of rain and snow then heat! All that moisture coming out of the ground! Terrible. Just plain terrible. I'll take Florida any day! At least it's not one extreme to the next. I love the heat and sun. Good source of vitamin D and happiness. Plus Florida is 14% cheaper to live than Eugene. Here I come like it or not. Make room. 😁😀😃🥳🌟💥💯👍🤟

[@palmettomove]

@@reyangulo9615 Sounds good! I wish you the best with your move to FL. Let me know if you need a Realtor over there. I'll be happy to refer you to one on my network. I just need to know the area/county. I would not want to live in Eugene either... Blessings!

I see so many Florida license plates in NJ. The winters are mild now due to climate change. The east coast is the place to be!

Many of those are tri-state transplants who moved to Florida and came back to visit.

its the purchasing power of the dollar manipulated to go down...thomas jefferson said if we let bankers manipulate our currency our great grand children will wake up homeless on the continent their forefathers founded. another thing is the stupid property tax which you will have to pay. example grandfather buys house in 1965 for $18,000 dollars, ends up paying mortgae for 30 years where he pays over 100,000$ dollars. plus taxes every year on top of all that. after mortage is paid off in 1996, still has to pay between $2000-$5000 a year for property tax for that house. years down the road the 95 year old wife thats on social security barely can make ends meet every month. it gets to a point that the property tax cant be afforded anymore and the gov takes that house. if a house can be in your family for over 60-70 years and it can be taken from you because you cant pay $2300 property taxes for that year its time for a revolution. do you know what the definition of a mortgage is? mort - means death, gage -means pledge. so your mortgage actually means death pledge.

[@DoomFinger511]

The taxes and mortgages are 2 different things. Anyone can refinance a mortgage to lower costs, and have their house re-evaluated to lower taxes. Depending on where you live, $2k-$5k is considered cheap. Go to Long Island NY where property tax is $15k-$25k. Those people would love to pay $2k-$5k a year. Property tax is never going away, otherwise, who is going to pay to maintain the roads outside the house, the police and fire departments, the schools, the sanitation, and the access to the local water and electrical supply. No one owns property, it is just rented from the government, otherwise, that property would be a sovereign nation. In the example of that grandmother, she can also sell that $18k house, with $100k in interest put into it, for $100ks more and use that money to buy a smaller condo with enough cash left over to pay her bills for the rest of her life.

Hello Roak Nagg, Thank you for sharing your perspective on the challenges associated with property ownership, taxes, and the historical context of currency. It's clear that these issues can have profound and lasting impacts on individuals and families. Your point about property taxes and the potential financial strain it can place on long-term homeowners is certainly a topic of discussion. The concerns you've raised highlight the importance of examining and addressing aspects of our economic and financial systems. If you have any further thoughts or suggestions on how these issues can be mitigated or improved, I'd be interested in hearing more. Constructive conversations about these matters are crucial for fostering a better understanding of the challenges many individuals and families face. Thank you for watching my video!

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's understandable that opinions on relocation can vary widely, and I appreciate hearing different viewpoints. If you have any specific concerns or questions about the factors driving people to move from Florida to South Carolina, I'd be happy to address them. Constructive dialogue is always welcome! Thank you for engaging with the video!

Florida is sinking

[@palmettomove]

Thank you for bringing up an interesting point! The idea that Florida is sinking usually refers to the long-term geological process of land subsidence rather than immediate weather conditions. This process is related to factors such as the state's unique limestone geology and groundwater extraction. If you have more details or concerns about this issue, I'd be interested to hear your perspective or any specific information you may have. It's always valuable to discuss and understand the various factors that contribute to the geological characteristics of different regions.

[@BetsyRivers-tu4ig]

I wish more people would leave Florida, especially the rich Californians and New Yorkers who have driven up the cost of housing!!

[@palmettomove]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for watching my video, Betsy! Housing costs can indeed be a significant concern, and it's understandable that rising prices can impact communities. Migration patterns can have varying effects on local economies and housing markets. Your perspective sheds light on one aspect of the complex dynamics at play. It's important for communities to find a balance that ensures accessibility to housing while also accommodating growth. Blessed day!

[@ColoradoOwl]

I would have thought Deathsentence and his Reich Wing policies may be another unsung reason.

[@palmettomove]

Hello Colorado Owl! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for watching my video. It's important to recognize that people often have various reasons for choosing to move or stay in a particular place, and these decisions can be influenced by a wide range of factors. I appreciate your perspective and encourage an open dialogue about the diverse reasons people have for making such significant life decisions. Blessed day!
