No kidding, even inland salt is a menace. That + sand destroys stuff outside.

Florida has the added bonus of being a swampy jungle, which you don't really understand until you try to live there. Your landscaping, weeds, anything that grows, grows like crazy. Your pets will get all sorts of infections and parasites from the ground, even with all the pesticide they spray through sheer necessity. Mosquitos are even bigger than in Texas, and they never leave. And I saw a big alligator tear up our neighbor's porch trying to run/hide from us, in a very suburban area.
