Steve Prevesk, a 63-year-old boomer living in Sarasota, Florida, is eager to move back to California after experiencing the heat and lifestyle in Florida. He spent eight years in Los Angeles before moving to Florida for a business opportunity. With nearly 51,000 former Californians moving to Florida and over 28,500 moving back to California between 2021 and 2022, Prevesk is willing to pay more for housing and daily expenses to live more comfortably in California.
Prevesk grew up dreaming of moving to Florida or California to escape the brutal winters in Western New York. After working in film and television in Orlando and Los Angeles, he moved back to Florida and now longs for the cultural diversity and cooler weather of California.
The extreme heat and lack of community in Florida have pushed Prevesk to seek a return to California, where he found a sense of belonging and ideal weather. He is willing to pay higher rents in Los Angeles for the peace and natural beauty he craves. As he looks to potentially move to Colorado or Utah for a similar cost of living, Prevesk is determined to find a place where he can enjoy the outdoors and a sense of community once again.
With rising housing prices and a changing landscape in Florida, many like Prevesk are considering returning to California for a better quality of life. Despite the financial considerations, Prevesk is determined to find a place that aligns with his values and provides the comfort and lifestyle he desires.
