I like it up here. Getting busier, but right now a pretty good balance of stuff to do and space to do it in.

Kinda wish there was, if only so we could get some good pizza down here
Actually, Western NY pizza is waaaay better than NYC pizza...but either way....still havent found a place I really like yet.
One of the only things I miss about living in Clearwater/Largo was the little Chicago restaurant on Ulmerton. Their Italian Beef sandwiches were great. I worked there for awhile when we first came down, I ate well.
As a former New Yorker myself though, I don't care much for NYC folk. Lots of Floridians lump all NY'ers together.... the rest of the state is a completely different place. Most of WNY is farm land and rural areas. "Area" wise, most of NY is a Red state.

Problem with those Springhill / Brooksville I had was it's great to travel North and south but East and west you are limited to small roads I would pass to many snowbirds too same with Sarasota and Bradenton the traffic is a Fing nightmare and the snowbirds don't help.

I wouldn't say just snowbirds and tourists. Anybody who is letting their phone/GPS tell them where to go instead of actually knowing where they're going. And that seems to be 80% of people around Orlando lately.

What is living in St Pete like?
I looked up my sons's Tampa zip code on Zillow and there are just 2 places listed for sale.
When I looked up St Petersburg something like 50 listings came up.
Anyone live there?

Recent real estate report had a huge number of people leaving Puerto Rico after the Hurricane with Orlando being their first choice to move to.

Oh, I've seen it. Orange & Osceola counties probably have more Ricans than PR does!

It’s a city, like any other, there are good parts and bad parts. If you don’t like crowds and traffic, it won’t work. Most of Pinellas is crowded, except for a few enclaves, mostly within a mile or so of the Gulf. Of course, then you have to fight the traffic to go anywhere out of those areas. Depends what you want to spend.
