I had intended/hoped to one day retire somewhere in/near the mountains in the Northeast but may have to consider FL for political/tax/freedom reasons. Not too keen on the weather or topography of FL though (plus further from friends/family - that's a mixed blessing ;-)

I felt the same way before moving to Florida to protect my kids from the spirit of fear cowardly adults surrounded them with...and I have to tell you I love Florida.
The heat during the summer months is brutal as you point out.
Nonetheless you will be welcomed here...we have true freedom fighters down here!

Tallahassee is hilly if you really must have unlevel ground to walk around on and despite being the Capitol, it still has a rural feel. Just saying.

TN does not have an income tax.
This is true, but going through receipts from vacation there last year, I almost choked when I saw the sales tax rate lol!
I live in Michigan though, and when considering our income tax (4.05% in 2023) and our sales tax (6%), it’s higher than TN. Perspective…
Being a son of the beach you almost have to! The screen name rocks.
But this Pocono mountains resident welcomes any and all freedom lovers!
Excellent point, although I'm not sure FL is ready for the World's Greatest Lifeguard! (Glad someone recognized my screen name).
