Thank you Sir for Making Quality Content making sense of the State of Florida

The only good thing regarding pay in FL is no state tax coming out of your paycheck.

I'm told it's becoming NJ. More tolls, high property taxes and high car insurance. Back in the day Florida was way cheaper than NJ. Now, not so much.

You know that saying, "sometimes things don't happen for a reason" thats the case for me , I was trying hard to move to FL from TN, there was always setbacks from jobs to my immediate family not wanting to move , I guess im glad it didn't happen

leaving hell. just look around the whole state . they are building everwhere

Sounds like Texas right now.....we are not that cheap anymore. But our wages are generally lower than up north. And our property taxes are very high. We also have another nasty problem I'm quite ashamed of...human trafficking. Look up Bissonett street in Southwest Houston. That's all I'll say...

Perfect statement on moving. “You have to decide what you can live with and what you can’t.” Moving to escape problems rarely works for people, because they just follow you. If you move, does the area you’re moving to have something so special to you, that you’re willing to sacrifice the good things about your current location? Very important to ask yourself before moving.

Built a house in Cape Coral 1979 - Never got hit hard (tree damage - Yes), never structural all these years, even last year with Ian. Sold the property last November not because of the fear of the weather, in a Tropical Climate _ Expect that. However the drop in property prices, the cost of or the cancellation of Insurance, rising Taxes, some of the New Folks Moving Here, Etc . . . . Paradise Lost.

The governor and the whole state government is garbage. I left in 2021 and moved back to GA. Me my wife and 5 grown children and 1 minor child. Im a black man originally from GA but had enough of FL.

"Governor" has two Rs in it. If you want to be taken seriously, especially when posting information contrary to statistics or mainstream opinion, correct spelling is essential.

Low pay, high mortgage and rent. I love the beautiful sunng weather, hate the rainstorms but that is not a big issue if you work 100% from home. State gov't jobs pay way too low for what the job entails (Eligibility Specialist/Case Management). The people you help make way more not working/stating that they are looking for work than the actual people employed by the state to assist them. Big problem! I love FL but I do not love the low pay. The state just increased the minimum wage from $7.25/8 something an hour to $11/12 an hour. Crazy, especially with the high price of rent and mortgage. I had good medical care in FL but I do agree about the cost of care because some of these companies do not give employees options for low cost/adequate-good care coverage. Another issue that I came across is that only certain cities have a decent to good options for jobs, Tallahassee, St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa.....most of the jobs I see are in these cities. What happened to the rest of FL? Do people not need jobs in those parts as well? Do people not need to feed there families and support themselves? Do people not want to make money out I these parts of FL? It's crazy.......I didn't come across any racist situations outside of broad (because she is is not a lady) screaming the N word out her window as she drove by. It took a while before I realized she was talking to me being that she was yelling at the top of her lungs out her car from the other side of the street.

What is it you think DeSantis did to schools? He kept debauchery away my from our babies? How is that bad? I do agree DeSantis needs to do more for homeowners regarding insurance, marijuana should be legal there and he needs to do something for the homeless

Sorry to hurt your feelings, but Florida is the Scam Capital of America. It’s the ‘Non Regulation’ capital of America. It’s the #1 place in America where you can get away impersonating a professional, because it is a wild and reckless state when it comes to abiding laws. You using your own personal experience means absolutely nothing compared to the truth. Let’s copy you, “For Example, Florida allowed Pill 💊 Mills, by the hundreds, to illegally operate in their state causing an epidemic of drug addiction AROUND THE COUNTRY. You know why that happened? Because people had money 💵 to bribe “licensed” doctors to sign off on their operations to the state. And Florida didn’t care about investigating.” If I were you, I’d do more research on Florida.

Lived in Florida 25 years haven’t even heard of just a thing

I can’t afford insurance and I can’t go back home because Florida is my back home so I go to the quick

Georgia is on my mind.

We moved to Sarasota (Lakewood Ranch) last year and we love it here. Our son and his wife just bought their first home in Cape Coral. Cost of living is a little higher here than it was in Atlanta Ga, but the no state income tax more than makes up for it. As for traffic, it seems to be much worse than it was last year and Cape Coral / Ft Meyers is terrible for traffic and long wait times for everything. I've got better Drs here than I did back in Atlanta as well. With regard to Gov Desantis, I was not a fan when he was running for president, but he appears to have done a great job for Florida. I applaud his steps to keep marxist ideologies from being pushed onto the kids. In most states, the kids are being indoctrinated with anti-American propaganda. Not a racist thing, it's about proper teachings. We'd be much better off if schools focused on the basics and taught how to think, not what to think. Ok, off my soapbox. I also hate the biting bugs and mosquitoes and it's so hot sometimes that it makes being on a boat unbearable when we have to go through idle/no wake zones (almost had a heat stroke last August). Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

These issues are not in a vacum. Inflation and Fed policy is a big factor. House value goes from $238k to $450k. Of course your insurance rate is going up to cover over inflated property values and inflated matirial and labor costs. Everyone driving 45k to 100+k suv's, well if you have a 2012 honda civic, YOUR insurance goes up too. Don't even get me started on repair costs on EV's that poor people can't afford but government incentivising companies to produce them, and paying rich people to buy them via tax rebates, fueling higher auto insurance costs. All the influx of people to the state, knocking down homes and replacing them with a McMansion raises the fixed income retieree's property taxes by increasing the value of the lot their 2/2 built in 1978 home sits on. The people that have lived here for decades are being priced out. My home insurance went from $2300 to $5900 in 6 years, no claims. My auto insurance went from $700 to $1150 in 3 years, no claims. Property taxes must have doubled, but don't have the number in front of me. I'm not sure how much longer we can afford to stay here. Gas at $3.70 a gallon and up for 3 years strait. Yes it's a Florida problem but not just becuace of Florida. I was doing the best in my life ever 4 years ago. Now I am barely staying afloat and never leave the house or do anything that cost money. Ask yourself what has changed and look outside of the Florida box. The grass is always greener until you get there, or someonelse is willing to pay twice as much for your slice of green grass. Been watching people sell a tiny 1930's northen house for a million bucks and them move to Florida and buy their house cash, then get a mortgage on several properties and rent them out boxing out locals from affording their starter home. So sick of it.
