For all of it's faults, Florida is a good place to live. They're thriving economically, and people are moving there. One of the top 4 states imo

it is very good for retiring, and has OK weather. And, it’s cheap. It’s definitely not the worst state overall. I like it because of the outdoor activities (a lot of fishing and wildlife and such)

The outdoor activities are great, and tourist attractions are obviously plentiful, but it definitely wouldn’t be “one of the best states” solely based on these.
300000 people moved there in that year (the article said so). Fast-growing places are really good places to live (that's why North Carolina is so good)
