You mean north Cuba? I would not choose it over any other part of Florida. They used to say the "DMZ" was the Broward/Dade line. Now it's Broward/Palm Beach. Traffic is a constant nightmare especially if trying to get to downtown Ft Lauderdale or Miami.
I don't know the crime stats but it's out of control. The number of LEO's killed in the line of duty over that last 20 years far exceeds the number lost by most states... since they became states. Everything is more expensive from housing to groceries. Your car insurance will probably double if you move here. Home owners insurance/hurricane concerns are out of control to the point many companies (including USAA) won't finance a mortgage here.
Groups from all over come here and will not assimilate. I've visited and lived all over the state - south Florida isn't really Florida in my book.
Before you suggest that licensing, background checks, or other restrictions for the 2nd Amendment are reasonable... Apply those same ideas to the 1st and 4th Amendments. Then tell me how reasonable they are.
