Seriously, though, I'd consider moving to Florida myself if I smoked, jet-skied and was named Tammy. There's no better place to be if you enjoy hearing people complain about walking. Plus you get to shoot whomever you want as long as you say they were threatening you!
Why is always a joke to you guys?

A dude (who is a Chinese immigrant, btw) has made a decent living and now was forced to sell his business and building. He is making a smart decision by moving states (I think he is retiring) and you guys make fun of him instead of focusing in the insanity here?

Why is that?

Is it because it would force you to think about the negatives? I am currently working on an energy plan for Calumet City. I have lost all motivation for the project when I found out more about the city. They have been losing population for two decades yet the government budget keeps increasing(even accounting for inflation) and tax revenue...surprise surprise...keeps going UP! They just keep increasing property taxes. Check out the property tax calculator, a home worth 100k is paying more in taxes than a 500k home in Florida. This discourages appreciation which is the main driver of wealth. But who cares, just a bunch of poor blacks living there!

This mentality is literally killing this area and you guys just make silly jokes and deride anyone to makes a rational choice to leave.
