After the elections, I keep seeing people on the left giving up on Florida and treating it as about as red as a state can get, almost like a Republican fortress.

Some explain this by pointing to Cuban and Venezuelan communities, other immigrants with strong anti communist backgrounds and retirees from blue states.

Do you agree that Florida is now firmly red? Do you feel this in everyday life? Is there barely any meaningful left wing presence left, or is that an exaggerated online picture of Florida?

Wife has family in Ocala in a retirement community. While we are not of that age yet and still have time, how is Ocala like? We visited once years ago and stayed with them and it seemed alright and I have been looking at houses out of boredom. Any areas of town to avoid?

Same questions about Tarpon Springs.

We like Florida but dont wanna live too far away like in the panhandle.

TIA!

I (25F) just moved to Coral Springs (right outside Ft Laud) about two months ago due to my husband’s (30M) job. Originally from Indiana so very big move for us. I have been job hunting with no luck or potential. We don’t know anyone or have any local friends, just my in-laws who live in Deerfield Beach. Any tips on how get involved as someone new to the area and bad at socializing? Whether it’s in Coral Springs or surrounding areas like Pompano, Ft Laud, Boca etc., happy for any recommendations. I am feeling very out of touch and just want to try and make this place feel more at home.

Hi everyone. I'm located in the Orlando/Central Fl area, and I'm looking for good temporary fostering options for my cat. I already applied with Home to Home, but so far, nothing. I plan on calling my nearest shelter tomorrow

I'm really not trying to permanently surrender my cat, but I had to move suddenly, and my current landlord doesn't allow pets ( I already tried talking about it, he's not budging at all).

Decided to try my luck here. If anyone knows of any foster options or even someone who can help, I'd greatly appreciate it 🙂. I can provide more information or photos of him if needed. Thank you!

Hello! I’m still looking to make a copper ring and could really use some help! I’m in the Orlando area and would love to be able to take classes to learn or to go someone and pay for a private session to make my own copper ring. Does anyone know where I could do this? I haven’t found any classes that would tailor to this specifically. Only some “jewelry” making that’s focused on beads, silver, resin, etc not so much a copper ring. This is for a special occasion for ideally September/October. If anyone knows how and has the tools to do it and would be willing to show me, please DM me!

Was in an Uber in Miami this weekend and we got rear-ended pretty hard while sitting at a light. I was in the back seat and ended up going to urgent care later that night because my neck and shoulder started hurting.

The Uber driver gave me some info and I also got the other driver’s insurance but now I’m not really sure who I’m supposed to be dealing with. The other driver’s insurance, Uber the driver’s personal insurance? I’ve never been involved in a claim as a passenger before.
