I would rather the cold of South Dakota (who BTW has a great Governor) Then the heat of FL and Tampa is very rainy in the summer month, I always felt if it's cold you can make yourself warm but when it's hot ain't nothing you can do.

Deal breaker for me ;D.

Seriously though, I would love to move out somewhere. But FL is just too hot and too flat for me. I basically want a cheaper, smaller version of Monsey lol.
I love Monsey, but Monsey doesn't exist anymore

Good luck on the free tuition without the economy of scale of large community. The voucher will help the tuition stay competitive with 'in town' but not free by any stretch.
Amirite? Any of our FL members?

School choice does not always mean free tuition whatever you want.

In Chasidish mosdos Rabbaim and Teachers aren't paid that much, therefore, its possible to run the School without charging the parents

HOWEVER they need a certain amount of kids per class in order to be fully covered by the program, I think he said 18.
In case the class has less, they will have to charge a little bit to cover the gap.

+100(degrees)

I am a hot day over cold day type of guy, but after spending Sukkos in Orlando i had a change of heart about living there. we were literally sweating from when we got there until we left.

Dan, is there a reason why you are so negative about this development? I didn’t see even 1 positive post about it

Regarding the weather, if you dress appropriately you should be fine. In nyc you don’t go out 8 months of the year because of the weather, (6 in the winter and 2 in the summer) In Florida it’s about 6 months .

My philosophy in life is that if you're going to do something big, do it right. Granted everything here is secondhand at best, but it sure seems haphazard and done b'dieved at best. The ardent defenders sound like they're backing 3D tablets and I'm half expecting a nasty voicemail tomorrow...

But I hope I'm wrong and that everyone gets what they're hoping to get out of this. My skepticism should just motivate others to make this work, and work better.

The weather discussion really belongs in the pros/cons thread and not here, but my thoughts on that is that it's much easier (for frum people) to keep warm than it is to stay cool. But to each their own, plenty of space for people who prefer northern and southern climates.

Sorry @Dan but the defenders of this project are only vying for some additional parking spaces in Brooklyn :-*

CMIIW, but most mosdos rely very heavily on donations. Even if the teachers don't get paid much, you still need facilities and equipment. Those things often get donated in other communities. There are also admin costs in getting a new school set up.

18 kids per class in K-8, with separate classes for boys and girls, means they need 324 kids. That's setting the bar pretty high. It's very doable after a few years, but people need to be prepared to cover those first few years until more people move down.

ETA: Another thing that needs to be taken into account is that you can't pay teachers in FL like you do in NY. All of your teachers will be living in your community, meaning they are paying $25k-30k a year in housing alone. There is no Section 8 covering things. They likely won't qualify for food stamps, and definitely not at NY levels. There are also fewer organizations to help cover the gaps. No gemachs. The teachers need to be paid properly, or the whole community falls apart.
