I just heard about some asshat state politician wanting the the state capital moved to Miami. Why? Are you serious? Why spend the money? Why move all those jobs? It won’t happen of course. But does he realize Miami sucks? And realistically? The only 2 cities we WOULD or COULD move to is Orlando...which has contributed more to the state economy and been less of a drag on said economy than the **** hole that is Miami...or Jacksonville. Primarily due to population and distance from West Florida and south. Piss on Miami. That is all. Sorry

(PS: I agree with you, moving capitals is dumb. Psst: Israel!)

Hey, the Israel Consulate is in Miami- doesn't that make Miami the de facto capital?

It’s not as crazy as it sounds

About 3 million of Florida’s 21 million people currently live within a three-hour drive to the capital. A move to a more centrally located metropolis — say, Orlando — would make it easier for more citizens to meet with their legislators, Hager said.

“The point is to deal with an emerging Florida, to make government more accessible to the public,” he said.

A move also would be a boost for business as there are no direct flights to Tallahassee from such major cities as Chicago or Boston, he said.

Time to move Florida capital from Tallahassee? Boca rep thinks so

I knew Florida was a ****hole but they don’t have direct flights to the capital, that’s insane

Moving the capital is always brought up. It would be insanely expensive and just not worth it.
 
I didn't even know what the capital of Florida was, always assumed Orlando though.

If you are an honest to god Floridian you are required to hate that suck hole and everything it represents. It is in the contract you sign at birth.

Tallahassee makes sense from a hurricane perspective. You wouldn't want the state capital in a area that needed to be evacuated.

Tallahickey is a nice city but a bit too much South Georgia for my tastes.
 
Kind of reminds me the time that the Scottish Government planned on changing Scotland's capital from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Thankfully that didn't happen.

But yeah, I agree with everybody else here... moving capital cities is dumb. Too much upheaval, and too much money also. The person who planned on doing that for Florida needs to get a right good slappin'. Although, I am curious if there's a reason as to why he wants to do it. Whichever it is, it wouldn't do Florida itself any good, would it?

Florida is a wonderful state. The only ****hole section is....wait for it...Miami. Lol. All the stupid crazy **** happens almost exclusively south of Orlando. But we still shouldn’t move the capital. Tallahassee is perfect. It is as far away from that cocaine paradise **** hole Miami that logically you can get too.

Oh. As for flights...tallanasty has an airport. It also has a few private fields around. Plus i10 exists. No need to move the government when you can move to the government. Miami sucks.

At least Orlando has Disney.

Tallahassee...midway...ish between Jacksonville and Pensacola. The formerly 2 major ports. Plus it has a formerly large port just south on the coast that was easy to get to by boat (Appilachicola) and rail. South florid was irrelevant for the longest time. Florida was a major agricultural area in America before it was Disney related.

I know. I mean...I can understand wanting to get away from FSu and their clown college.

lmao...Blackjack, you know I hate it when you hold back, tell us how you really feel.

I've only ever been to Orlando (Disney) and St. Augustine, which was pretty nice, as a kid. Of course, the total Canadian tourist experience...sorry for sending you all our old people, by the way... Haven't been in probably 25 years, though...

I always thought the capital should be located more or less centrally in a state. So I vote for Orlando - heck, Scott and the legislature would feel right at home in Fantasyland.
 
:duel

Those are fighting words sir

I hear they are giving out a box of crayons to the graduates at FSu now...so they have some things going for them lol. Obviously I went to UF. I am quite familiar with tallanasty though. I don’t hate it. I like the area actually. Just not FSu

I would say the best bet is save money and leave it where it is. This is the 21st century...location is irrelevant. We have internet and airplanes. But Miami sucks. Lol. Orlando only sucks half as much. They are a contributor to our success. Not a drain. Btw...ever had to deal with Miami PD? I’d rather scoop my eyeballs out with my fingers in a room filled with tear gas.

Ha! Yeah I think I'm the only Seminole on this board. You are the second Gator I've ran into on here. Ecofarm is a Gator as well if I'm remember correctly.

Yep. There are actually a few of us. I was very surprised. There may be 1 or 2 other Noles, but the only one I really remember was a fair weather football fan who changed their stripes to Alabama or something.

Well, the current location is really dumb. It would take much of the population 5-8 hours to drive there. That said, I don't support moving it to Miami.
