What part of N.Y?

It doesn't make any difference. Any part of New York is better than Florida any time.

the tampa bay area is no good. the east coast of FL is better.

where i grew up, there weren't a lot of old people, and the weather was beautiful 99% of the time. the atlantic seabreeze keeps things cool.
i really don't see what's not to like. besides mosquitoes, but you can avoid them easily enough.

---

All that I experienced there was serious humidity, strong wind and heavy rain, and a staggering amount of old people, lol. Really, really conservative old people. I understand that other areas are entirely different, but that totally ruined the experience for me. Having traveled all over New York, from the boroughs in NYC where I live to upstate New York, hours away and pretty much into the countryside, I could never picture myself in Florida.

I hate to perpetuate the "old people and humidity" idea that many Florida residents are trying to do away with, but it just isn't for me. :/

the humidity doesn't bother me at all. i kind of like it. i went to las vegas once and the air was so dry...i felt like i always needed something to drink.

idk what you consider "old." in my hometown there were a lot of people in their 30s and 40s, but that's not old to me. i mean i'd rather be around a lot of adults than mostly stupid naive teenagers.
