As someone who had to leave the Pacific Northwest for Florida just look for the places the media say is terrible but seems well organized. Get ready for a lot of scammers who know you're new and desperate for a place to stay or find work. I nearly rented a house that wasn't owned or run by the people demanding money. Everything is aimed at getting a quick buck off stupid or new people. I still don't know a good place to get my car fixed.

The big thing to worry about is how much people will try to bring you back. You have family and friends that you want to see again. Your wife will demand you go back daily. Your parents will send videos of nieces and nephews. That will be a difficult hell. In a way, those who had little contact with family in the old world were lucky.

Get ready to see the world very differently. You will see the crack in reality, and then live beyond it. It's a weird world full of unexpected things. I never knew I had to make sure to test ideas based on stupid people, but now it's part of my design prep.

If you move to Florida, Publix has a European section and a South American section. You can get a lot of stuff from home that way.

Good luck.
