Tallahassee is Florida's state capital — university-and-government town (Florida State University and Florida A&M are both here), with a dramatically different texture from the rest of Florida (more Southern-old-growth oak trees, more state-bureaucracy density, less beach). Midtown and Frenchtown are the central walkable cafe-dense neighborhoods; the Northside is the upmarket-residential alternative near the universities. The US has no Digital Nomad Visa — ESTA Visa Waiver (90 days) or B-2 visitor visa up to 6 months. The structural draws: Florida tax advantages (no state income tax) without the typical Florida cost-of-living, Gulf Coast beaches 30 min south, and Spanish-moss oak canopy that locals call "the canopy roads".
Cost-adjusted FIRE number, time-to-FI scenarios, and how this base compares to a US lifestyle baseline.
