Florida Syndrome

Florida syndrome refers to the conditions. the produce the Florida Man. It is what happens when a place receives the focus of national attention and becomes the place to which where everyone wants to move. Usually after a sitcom or TV show is set there.

Similar, yet distinct from gentrification, the constant influx of randos has a degrading effect on local culture and quality of life and results in what you see today. While this effect can be seen in places like Portland Or, Seattle Wa, San Francisco, Venice Beach Ca etc, Florida was one of the first and most pronounced. Each place that suffers from Florida Syndrome can have it's own particular flavor.
Ever since Portlandina aired, this whole area has been increasingly suffering from Florida Syndrome.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
