It's not the salary it's the deductions for city / local, state (New York has not seen a tax it did not like) and federal taxes then there is the rent / mortgage. There are more costs to deduct from the remaining pittance. Yeah, many move at first opportunity money and financial security talk loudly.
Had family live in those hard wood floor apts in NYC. I thought horses lived upstairs from all the clackity clack noise throughout the day and night. How one can sleep living in an apt in NYC midtown is a miracle with traffic noise 24/7. Need about 10mg of melatonin to help. There is nothing like living in your own home ( doing your own laundry at home instead of going to laundromat) and no neighbors living above and below you like in an apt. The CA transplants relocating to FL will probably move into bigger digs compared to where they were living in Southern California.
Ok...
In 2012, the New York metropolitan area generated a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of over US$1.33 trillion with a population of 20.3 million people. The Combined Statistical Area[5] produced a GMP of over US$1.55 trillion. Both are ranked first nationally by a wide margin and being roughly equivalent to the GDP of South Korea at less than half its population.[6]

To be fair, most McDonalds are franchised and, as a result, do not follow the same base pay nationally. Orlando McDonalds starts at $11 near my neck of the woods.
Having family in NY's Upper East Side (in a brownstone, no less) and living in South OC, I can't disagree with this at all.
In Central FL, it is brand new or newish cookie clutter homes with little yard space or one that lives in older neighborhoods . It helps to be in a gated community to hopefully keep the riff raff out to also come equipped with clubhouse, pools, tennis courts , playgrounds . etc. A few years ago, brand new gated community 4-5 bedroom homes with Mediterranean style red roofs started popping up by MCO and Lake Nona right by the 417 toll road starting at $500K and up. It is good that a number of areas are fenced off also to prevent the gators from nearby bodies of water from making a surprise appearance but no guarantees. I've visited Corona Del Mar when family lived there. Beautiful area, no need for AC and incredible weather.
Nowadays you can work for a company in any state or country from home. Free lance work is easier than ever with apps like Fiverr. There’s lot’s of money to be made.
Nothing official, but it is rumored Disney will be moving into this 8 story building that is currently under construction:
417 runs right through Lake Nona?????
That Lake Nona Performance Club looks like an incredible place to work out, well worth the $98 per month membership!Nothing official, but it is rumored Disney will be moving into this 8 story building that is currently under construction:
6876 Marwick Ln, Orlando, FL 32827 - Lake Nona Headquarters Office Building B | LoopNet
6876 Marwick Ln, Orlando, FL 32827. This Office space is available for lease. Headquarters Office Building B is a Class A office buildingwww.loopnet.com
Where exactly do you think the people who live in those counties work?
Disney likely wants a higher end, modern campus then what Celebration has in it. The average household income in Celebration is $20k less then Lake Nona. The amenities and other companies locating in Lake Nona are top notch. It has much easier access to MCO.
