Joel Freudman
Joel Freudman and his wife moved from Toronto to Fort Lauderdale in 2022.
  • A millennial moved from Canada to Florida in part for the weather and cheaper housing.
  • But he said high healthcare costs and the state's abortion ban have raised concerns.
  • Florida was the fastest-growing US state between 2021 and 2022.

Joel Freudman and his wife visited Florida many times during their childhoods. But when the Canadians vacationed in the state two years ago, they decided that this time, they'd stick around.
