I was under the impression when I was visiting a friend in Florida that 99% of their population worked liked dogs, and the remaining 1% lived in jaw dropping splendor because of it.

Annoying fact: I was only two blocks from the "public" beach, but couldn't get to it because of the unbroken line of rich people's houses blocking access to it.

If I ever move to a warm state, it will have to be either California or Hawaii.
