Do you think the state of Florida could benefit from being divided into separate states? If so, how would you divide the Sunshine state? Go ahead. Let us know what you have in mind.....

State Road 40 should be the dividing line. Everything south of that line would become The Peoples Republic Of Florida.
And we should build a secure border, complete with a death strip of land mines to keep the Yankees from moving back out of the hell hole they have made for themselves.

Yes, I get a little agitated about South Florida. I grew up in Palm Beach County and lived there 50 years. Watched it go from paradise to a liberal bastion of the North East, Nu Yawk and Nu Joisey in particular. Anyone living there now would be unable to comprehend how nice it was in the 50's and 60's.
They are the #1 reason Obama carried the state. North Florida is not like that AT ALL.

Wow.  You do know there are some folks down here that would NOT be happy about this. LOL

I think about this in terms of the whole country. Split it north and south. That seems to hit the biggest left vs right territory, maybe trade all of California for the dakotas.
As for fl, unfortunately I am caught in enemy territory being south of Orlando.  My district is so bad the voters ( except me) elected Alan Grayson - poster child for bad gov at its finest.
I really want to move.

Both in terms of splitting the state and leaving me down here with the libs and the takers.  :P

I think everyone needs to join together and move to one state. Least we can have a little fun around like minded people.

I had a similar thought Sentry.

We've already got one.
But I don't play well with others.

It's not too far for me. :) However, a combined $/acre tend to be cheaper the further away from C Florida(except for the coast  of course).

In a past post, I said Florida should be split in two.

Similiar to what RPD said above, I said that the split should be just south of Ocala, and he said State Road 40 which runs through that area.

I went to the link. The High Springs area is nice.
However, most of the affordable properties on that list say 'inside city limits". I personally will never live inside any city or town limits ever again. Too many rules and regulations and busy-body people.
In Florida, what you should be looking for is land zoned OR. That stands for Open Rural, which is what our zoning is. We can have livestock, pretty much anything we want. The bare minimum of regulation.
In fact, my wife and I are both adamant that if the county ever paves our road we're moving farther out.
Just keep that in mind - "zoned OR".
Remember, cows make the best neighbors. They don't complain, have loud parties, shoot guns, or ride unmuffled dirt bikes up and down the road in front of your house.

They can also provide nighttime entertainment once they fall asleep.

Some of them make startling noises in the dead of night, bellowing like some dangerous African animal.
My neighbor also keeps two donkeys in with the herd to protect them and they sound neat.

Invest in a sailboat as a BOV.  ;) Compared to sailing in hurricane season, sailing to a marina either in my area or to one further east in the Bend is relatively easy.

I feel your pain, Bum.
We made our escape in 1995. Actually lived in Georgia for 3 years. When we were sure we were going to stay up here we sold our house in Jupiter and bought our land in Florida (Georgia is tax-happy). It's about 2 miles shy of the state line - as far away as we could get from Palm Beach County without leaving the state.

For those of ya'll looking for land etc in North FL.. we moved to our BOL from Pinellas Park a little over a year ago. We are located in (Suwannee county) the small farming town of Branford. Check it out I see For Sale signs all over this county as alot of the farmers are having a rough time keeping the farms going. Also, check out the towns of Trenton, Bell and Mayo. These are all small communitys in Gilcrist county where the closest "big towns" are either Live Oak, Lake City or Gainesville which are at least 30-40 miles away. Hope this helps someone....
