It depends where in FL and where in NY you are comparing.
2 :
You have to compare zip code to zip code, not state to state. It also matters if you buy or rent, since flood insurance in Florida can be very expensive. Check out this website: http://www.relocationessentials.com/aff/www/tools/salary/col.aspx What are your life essentials? What is your standard of food, shelter and clothing? You save money on heating in Florida in the winter, but probably save money on air conditioning in NY in the summe

Best place to live in Florida that is safest from hurricanes

Best place to live in Florida that is safest from hurricanes?
What areas of Florida are considered safest for residents with respect to being relatively free of hurricanes? Someone mentioned Tallahassee as being a good place to live. What are your opinions with respect to a good place for families in terms of safety and cost of living but unlikely to have to board up windows and drive north due to storms.

NO PLACE IN FLORIDA IS SAFE from hurricaines... if you want to be safe from hurricaines... then stay where you are... When I lived in Florida, I lost ONE boat to Hurricaine Andrew and almost lost another one to Hurricaine Keith... believe me.. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SAFE PLACE IN FLORIDA... Tallahassee was almost destroyed along with Pensacola during Katrina... so whoever told you Tallahassee... didn't know what they were talking about.

The former head of the National Hurricane Center, Bob Sheets, picked a place in Southern Florida. He choose the Lake Placid area because that is the farthest point in Florida from the oceans and gulfs. Here the winds from hurricanes should be slowed to a lower level. Read te site below about Bob Sheets wisdom.
3 :
Tampa bay is one of the hardest places for a hurricane to get to, but if one does manage to crook around and come up through there it is a deadly place to be because of the way it sets so low and has little canals and penninsulas everywhere.

15 year old NY resident driving in Florida

15 year old NY resident driving in Florida?
I live in NY, but i have a house in Florida. Actually, it's my grandpa's house, but my question is: Can he take me to the DMV and get me a license or permit? I don't care if I can use it in NY or not, I just want to be able to drive around in Florida. Also, if I am 15, would I not be able to drive at all when I go back to NY?

You have to get your drivers permit in the state where you have your permanent address, NY. You cant get it in Florida then come back and use it in NY. The legal driving age in NY is 16 which means even if you had a drivers license at 15, you wouldnt be able to drive.
2 :
If you satisfy the requirements for a Florida permit you can get your permit in Florida. You might even get a Florida license! You would not be able to drive in NY until you are 16, even with a Florida license. You would have driving privileges in Florida, just as any other person with a Florida permit or license. Check with the Florida DMV for permit requirements.
