WHY SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO LIVE THERE

  • The first reason is because they get to live on the sparkling Gulf of Mexico (who wouldn't want to live there)
  • There are a lot of tourist attractions there, that means they can have a lot of fun over the weekend, or summer
  • There you can find the best places for water sports such as, bird watching, hiking the rocks, and fishing!
  • The only problem with working is that there might be a lot of traffic, the population there is CRAZY!!!

  • The population is to high I wouldn't be able to get ANYWHERE!
  • The last reason is because they can have a hurricane at any point in time (SCARY)
