Lack of income taxes is a nice feature.  The cost of living is much
more reasonable than say San Francisco or New York City, and you get
much more living space for that money.  There are quite a few beaches
and parks, which I suppose goes along with the relatively nice
weather.  Unemployment is very low here right now.  Internet access is
fairly good - we have Fios available in lots of places and EVDO is
available throughout the Tampa Bay area.

Just a quick list off the top of my head.  Personally it doesn't
matter to me all that much where I live, so what I can offer in this
category is pretty limited.

If money were no object I'd probably live in New York City.  Actually,
if I really had the money to live anywhere I'd probably go snowbird
and spend some time in NYC, some in Florida, some in Arizona, etc.

Oh well, hope I was able to help a bit.
