    Why Are Retirees Leaving Florida?

    Yankee liberal politics in the HOAs.

    How so?  Wouldn't "liberal" policies be to actually put enough funds
    into escrow for maintenance, as opposed to capitalistic "conservatives"
    who only cares about the next quarterly results and tries to ignore long term?


    It's nothing "Florida's" done.

    Except for how they had a Laissez-faire regulatory environment. That
    changed a little after the Condo collapse, with House Bill 1203 which
    took effect in 2024:  that provided some very bare minimum HOA
    requirements for budgetary disclosure, audits and for reserves.


    Insurance companies knew what they were getting into when they came
    here, now,
    they're over-charging.

    If that were actually true, then FL's "Insurer of last resort" wouldn't
    need to have surcharge provisions if they run out of money.


    It's still behind California.

    Which means what, specifically?  More vague allusions from Brietbart?


    Clue to the clueless: it ain't the politics.

    If true, then why did FL politicians legislate changes to HOA's & P&C?


    People of all ages also have recently packed up and moved out of the
    Sunshine State after BACK-TO-BACK STORMS this year.

    Just what storms are you referring to?  Because the Big Bend region is
    what got hit (twice) last year, but no hurricane has made landfall in southern FL since Hurricane Ian hit the Fort Meyers area in 2023.


    I've been here since 1965. I KNOW the risks.


    Yet you don't "know" (to share) what your P&C Insurance cost is, and how
    much it has gone up since even just 2019.

    People are coming here for the beauty, and finding out you have to PAY
    for
    that beauty.

    People have been pitched how there's no winter, so retirees can play
    golf year-round/etc ... but have actually gotten sold a load of goods in
    the form of cheap swampland.

    The tourists gladly hand over their money to stay in places on the
    coasts.

    Look WHERE the people who moved away tried to live.



    Guess what, liberal faggots... while it is true that we lost half a
    million in
    2023, we actually GAINED more... 637,000 people moved to the state
    from across
    the country that year too... stupid.

    So... net GAIN.

    Interesting claim in how it directly contradicts your above statement of "packed up and moved out".  In any event, if one's going to talk about migration trends, what percent are retirees that aren't nominally
    looking for economic opportunities?


    Keep focusing on the negative. That's all you faggots can do.

    According to the latest numbers, Florida led the nation with a net income
    migration of almost $36.1 billion annually.

    And after removing the pensions & SS of all of the retirees, what is it?


    According to "U.S. News and World Report," the Chamber said, Florida
    ranks top
    in the nation for higher education and first in four-year college
    affordability.

    Florida ranks well in Higher Ed because their schools are cheap; but
    that needs to be tempered by with how for K-12, their ranking is 22nd.

    Florida has long been a hotspot for relocation due to its appeal to
    people
    from high-cost states like Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and
    California.

    What percentage of relocations are for improved economic opportunity, as opposed to looking for a cheap, warm place to retire?

    Historically, Florida remained attractive because, despite rising
    prices, it
    was STILL CHEAPER THAN THESE HIGH-TAX STATES.

    Doesn't do a damn bit of good when FL's P&C Insurance costs are higher
    than what's paid in those "high tax" states, because what matters is how
    much income is left to live on after paying for core living expenses.

    Of course, there's also going to be some who claim they "know the risks"
    from hurricanes and not pay for homeowner's insurance (P&C), and half
    the time the real reason is because they can't actually afford it.
    Hey...

    You're talking to a "man" who believes that all the bad stats for red
    states are down to the supposed blue cities within them...

    ...with no explanation for how blue states with even bluer cities
    magically fare better.

    True enough, but they do inadvertently provide a platform that shows
    just how profoundly ill-informed a third of the electorate is, which is
    why they're huffing ivermectin, the horse dewormer.

    After they remove themselves from the gene pool, there's going to be
    even more non-whites to keep the remaining survivors terrified.
