Poll: Florida ranks No. 2 for wannabe residents

High unemployment and housing crisis be darned: Florida is still among the most popular states when it comes to where people want to live. Only California is more popular, taking the No. 1 spot for the sixth year in a row in the Harris poll by Harris Interactive as the place Americans would like to live if they didn’t live in the state they now live. Hawaii came in third. “The most popular states and cities where large numbers of people would like to live tend to attract tourists and business,” according to a Harris media release. “They are places where people like to take vacations and where companies like to have their offices and factories.” Oddly enough, however, no Florida cities were among the top destinations for resident wannabes.
