    Why would Canadians got to Grand Rapids or North port Florida?

    Most if the list makes sense but those two seem like out of place.

      Mild winters in Florida. Similar for South Texas as well as being a cheaper place.

        Its not the Florida part, its north port. North Port is about 5 miles from where I’m at right now and about 8 miles from where I grew up. I don’t dislike North Port but with Venice, Fort Meyers, Cape Coral, and Punts Gorda right there it seems like a strange pick.
