Want to move out of Florida. How come when I tell people this, they think I'm crazy?

I live in south Florida, and yes, we get lots of sunshine and warm weather year round, but geez, as far as I'm concerned, there's sooooo much more to life than just warm weather and sunshine. Overall, for me, Florida is a place to go for a VACATION not a place for a young person to live year round who craves culture. There's so many cities in the country (NY, DC, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco), where the weather may not be as great, but the people are educated and sophisticated and there's culture - - plus, many of these great cities, have four seasons, so people can participate in winter sports. Also, the people down here (overall) tend to have a very poor work ethic compared to what I'm used to. They are not serious about their jobs (or anything for that matter). I see a vast difference in the work ethic down here, as oposed to the work ethic up north and un the midwest. For me, warm weather is a nice luxury, but there's so much more to life than just weather. Why is it then, that everyone thinks I'm crazy for wanting to move away?
