Why you say that? From everything I’ve researched Tampa is a great place and is on top in destinations to move to in Florida... kinda central to everything at the same time...

If my job didn’t trap me in the LC area I’d be out of here

I envy you. I’m leaning to wanting to leave but it’d take a career change in my early 40s. I don’t know what I’d do for a job.

I’m beginning to really hate it here.

Here in Tampa now. I’d rate Tampa over every major city in the south tbh

I travel 3/4 times a year to Tampa for work. If I were to move the family out of TN Tampa would be at the top of the list of places

It is a great place. Don’t listen to naysayers that have probably never even been there.

Wow! That’s awesome. Thanks everybody for replies! I’ve already had some confirmation from other places and I keep hearing just do it! And I feel like it’s the right thing to do

Do you work for a plant or something tied to the area? I'm 43 and not worried about potentially changing jobs but my industry exists pretty much everywhere

You’ve lived in LA almost your entire life and you’re just now making this decision?

Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight

Go for it, man. It’s a small world now. If you don’t like it, it’s no big deal to come back.

Yep. Pigeon holed myself here. It’s my own fault, I guess. That and taking my kids away from my parents are the two biggest hurdles holding me here. If it weren’t for that, I’d have my house up for sale right now.

I understand completely. My wife's career used to be tied to BR but not anymore. I also have a kid about to start HS, a parent who is single, in his mid 70s and has major health issues, a young family member currently living with us who was impacted by all of the Covid crap and about 40k in house repairs and updating to complete.

Most of the top American death metal bands live there so I say go for it.
