The Rise of People Moving to Florida

The Sunshine State has become a place that entices people to stay rather than to visit. This cannot be attributed simply to 1 factor, but rather the culmination of benefits Florida possesses. These major factors include relatively low housing prices, easier access for first-time homeowners, and an overall lower cost of living compared to major cities like California. Furthermore, the flexibility of remote work and availability of work also makes Florida a reliable place to live comfortably.

Helmet laws have always been a bit controversial. There is no universal federal helmet law, each state makes their own rules for who needs to wear a helmet. California, Maryland, Nevada, Oregon, New York, and Washington require both the rider and passenger to be wearing helmets no matter what age at all times. Some states like Utah, Maine, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Hawaii and Indiana, only require helmets to be worn by those 18 and under. There are three states that don't require a helmet at all and those are Iowa, Illinois, and New Hampshire.
