I will leave the mean-spirited generalizations about the people who live in Florida alone in this rebuttal to Darryl Benjamin’s commentary and present facts. Florida is 52.7 % white, 26.8% Hispanic and 17% Black while Vermont is 92.2 white, 2.2% Hispanic, and 1.5% Black from U.S. Census data. Not much for Vermont to brag about there. Additionally, it is well documented that Black Americans are leaving liberal Northeast blue cities like New York and Chicago, among others, and heading for (trigger warning) the South. Florida is also amazingly gay-friendly. Some towns like St. Petersburg and Miami have multiple gay areas
To Darryl Benjamin: Being a senior citizen in Vermont, I take issue with the blatant ageism of your commentary. Sure, Florida attracts the over-65 crowd who, like your wife, are sick of the cold. It also attracts lots of much younger people for the same reason. I cringe every time I hear some under-65 person whine about Vermont winter weather. What else should they expect, living in northern New England. Your ageism also overlooks the Vermont style of Trumper, the under-50 crowd with pick/ups bearing “(Screw) Biden” and “Trump 2024” banners, not stickers. Or the under-50 white males in Newport
