New Florida residents who fled high-crime cities praise DeSantis' policies: 'The governor has done a good job'

The pandemic-led trend of people moving to Florida in 2020 has continued into 2021 as former residents of large, metropolitan areas seek more comfortable living in the Sunshine State.

"I'm one who told myself when I was younger, 'I am never moving to Florida. That's where people go to die,'" Paula Miller told Fox News Digital. "But I've changed my mind, and it really didn't have so much to do with the weather."

Miller used to live in Evanston, Illinois — just 12 miles north of Downtown Chicago.
