    So the allergies-my family and I was sure a teenage girl and a young girl and husband are looking to move from Northwest Indiana to Florida. I am looking at the Sarasota area I seen you mention about the allergies one of the main reasons why we’re moving is cause I’m having really bad allergies here in Northwest Indiana. We went and visited Miramar Beach and near Destin in my allergies disappeared while we were there another main reason why we’re moving to Florida besides the great weather, palm trees, and the sunshine. I heard you mention that the allergies people that suffer from them suffer for about one to two weeks did I hear you right?

    I’m in Plymouth Ma. I live on a private beach. It’s beautiful to look at but not to swim in. They are building new condo buildings nonstop because so many people are moving here as well. I’m not rude however many around here are always in a rush and yes I hate to say it, many are in fact rude. I just got back from Saint Petersburg an omg I absolutely loved it! I was scammed $4800 on Airbnb March 2024, so the first day was horrible! Be careful who you call! I thought I called Airbnb to complain about the place we rented. The guy canceled my reservation that I paid $4800. Said he’d reimburse everything! Then after he did that he says, go get $7000 in gift cards to pay for the 2nd Airbnb house!! I was like WHAT!!!! No!!! Demanded he put it on my credit card. But he couldn’t because he never had my info to begin with! However somehow he did cancel my reservation and when I called the correct Airbnb they said Sorry Mam, you don’t get any refund! 😢😢😢 Anyways, we want to move to Sarasota or Venice . We liked Venice because it’s beautiful & quiet & warm. The weather is the biggest factor of wanting to move. We love hot weather. We’re afraid to switch jobs and switch healthcare, ex…. But we’ve wanted this for so long. Great review! Only thing I’m worried about is real estate insurance and taxes. The drivers in Fl drive fast! Kinda scary the first few days we were there, and they don’t paint the yellow and white lines on the roads like they do up north. And Taking a turn at a big intersection was so scary lol.! we have plastic straws, & you have paper. However, when you go food shopping here, they only give you paper bags and then Florida they give you plastic bags. 😂 I think the whole country needs to come together and use the same for everywhere

    the rich elderly population has ruined downtown Sarasota. Its basically a place where fun goes to die, especially at night . If you attempt to watch anything that comes to a public hearing you will see grandpa and grandma, with a laundry list complaints. they try to kill all nightlife, or any event, unless its somewhere to eat and it closes at 9pm so they can stuff there faces.. alot of crony capitalism and barriers via municipal ordinances. Spend your money elsewhere

    Very helpful video. We're in Los Angeles CA and things here are going crazy, so we're considering moving to Florida next year and are still searching for the best place. Sarasota is always being mentioned as one of the best places to live in Florida so we're trying to get as much information as we can. Car Insurance in Los Angeles is just insane at this moment with everything that's going on with car accidents and cars being stollen. Are you really saying car insurance in Sarasota is more expensive than here? 😱 That's really insane. Anyway, thank you for the video..

      It is special! We do have bugs but nothing a good screened in porch and regular pest control can’t handle. If you avoid certain times of day outside it’s not bad at all and if you’re on the beach the breeze keeps the mosquitos away but you do have to watch out for no-see-ums also known as biting-midges.

    It’s super crowded and there’s no more parking at the beaches. So many people moved here they’re changing the face of Sarasota. Rental is unaffordable purchasing a condo is $1 million plus. I bought downtown Sarasota or years ago my property - also my common charge went up and the taxes went up because of the hurricane and the insurance companies look someplace else.
