Meanwhile, Jacksonville moves up in the rankings. Best place in the state to retire?

Well, it would have been nice for him to do that, since he expects that from us.

 

Just emailed Gov D, will be sending immigrants your way shortly

 

Jax actually has an extensive BRT system. I think it’s called the First Coast Flyer. That aside, it sprawls like the vast majority of cities. But I really don’t think that’s primary concern in auto-dependent America.

 

Post suggesting a FL city is a good place to retire.
Con in FL: Liberal media!

 

Wonder if this has to do with Jax just electing it's second Democratic mayor in 30 years....

 

Beat me to it

 

Don't know how much it tells us cause she has name recognition in the city. But Davis was DeSantis backed. Definitely an L for him

 

Well I haven't been to jax in several years, but don't put much confidence in these articles. I often see cape coral as a great place to retire. .

 

I’m sure he’s bereft.

 

I won't pretend to know Jacksonville politics. But I do like seeing an L for him

 

She was a long time TV anchor here.

 

Thanks. I lack local knowledge. So I won't pretend to put it in perspective. But I still like it

 

Way more surprising was a Dem won for property appraiser running against another DeSantis backed pub who had pics of himself and Ron on all his signs.

 

From what I read, the Republican turnout was high. It appears that some voted for Deegan as well.

 

Thanks. Very informative. No substitute for local knowledge.

 

Jacksonville has space, ie lower density. Right now that is valued. It also has some great golf, lot of waterfront, good healthcare, and a growing port and rail network. Price point is good. Too cold for me but, sans lottery win, my retirement years when I can no longer do it myself will be at Moosehaven in Orange Park so I guess it is my ultimate retirement home.

 

Yeah, don't think it was lack of turnout. I know some Pubs who weren't high on Davis because he was involved in the attempted sale of JEA which was slimy as shit and the local paper exposed. That's my guess on the difference.

 

For a man who honestly seems to believe he is righteous, he surrounds himself with lots of slimy people. Another one of his picks form Duval was charged and committed suicide over scamming veterans if memory is correct
