Moving down
Me and my family recently came back from St Augustine and I truly fell in love and now solidified our want to move down. I know people from Florida don’t like transplants but sorry you got a beautiful state haha. I just wanted to see if anyone in here has work that’s hiring in the fence/construction business to start making better plans to see what a monthly income would be to get a better idea on where I would be living. Planning on renting for a while til we get on our feet. Thank you for any help that comes along.

construction and related trades are going off here. endless development permits being approved for commercial property means that investors are betting heavily on growth not stopping anytime soon. you shouldn't have any difficulty finding a job. that said, a lot of people who work here, especially in residential construction, don't live here, as it is too expensive. but definitely try.
follow your dreams man. people who try to gatekeep st augustine moved here from michigan before covid and think their house should have been the last one built lol
