Why do people live in Florida?

Easy access to the cruise terminal of course. At least as far as this
newsgroup is concerned

Don't move to Colorado because we're hip-deep in snow every winter and it's
a LONG way to cruise terminals.

You may marvel at the stupidity of Floridians as they hunker down during
these storms. That's okay. They have all snickered at your expense as they
sat on the porch, sipping coolers and watching the coverage of those
relentless winter storms that bury the north every single year. The shots
of people slowly sliding their cars into poles, walls or other vehicles was
always my personal favorite.

LOL...of course your not unique. Most everyone loves warm weather so
dont feel too special superstar. But laughing at ppl who endure a
snowstorm aint gonna compare to that same pole that flies into a car
instead of the opposite. LOL, that is my personal favorite. A winter
storm dont force ppl inland or to care shelters. Face it, every place
has its pros and cons, you just need to use your ****ing head and
realize it

North Carolina has more hurricances hit than Florida most likely. Go ask them...

It's the mountians. The beach is nice in the summer though.

Anyone under 65 that drives,and complains about OLDER drivers,remember
you too will age,and not everyone lives where there is
transportation for them,or have someone else they can rely on to get
them to the store,dr's etc.

My question is can houses made from bricks and stones (like in Swiss
Alps) instead of wood (like Florida) can survive hurricane force? I
don`t know, but if yes, building code in Florida should be change.

Which is pretty much beside the point. The Dl should be given
based on an ability to drive and do certain things that are needed
for safe driving. If you are 85 and can still do those things, get
your DL at the line to the right. If you are 35 and can't, walk
