She’s in one of those high-rise apartment building like the one that collapsed due to failed inspections and I hate it! Nothing changed after all those people were killed.

Sure she’ll be able to afford a nice tent in Cali.

Ha! So true! My DD’s crummy 2 bedroom walk up apartment in a 1970’s building is $3k per month.

Amazon is working on pulling out of Florida and Texas.
Jacksonville just built a bunch of warehouses they are planning on closing all of them. Bezos understands talent is not coming to Florida & Texas any longer.

Got what you wished for GOP.

Jobs will be gone.

And quite a few other companies are headed out as well. Fun times.

No one calls California “cali”, PP. The salary increases will cover the differences in rent - and for apartments that don’t fall down! Imagine that!

I’m not taking sides in a California vs. Florida debate. They both have their pros and cons and are large enough to have better and worse areas. However, I have to question the assertion that apartments don’t fall down in California, proving its superiority, when California is known to have earthquakes that can topple buildings, including apartments. I think in both states, the incident rates of toppling apartments are relatively rare, but subjectively, lacking hard data, I’d worry more about it in California.

49. And me too.

+1. But you’ll get the psychotic Florida Booster responding momentarily that Florida is a paradise and everyone is leaving smarter, bluer states to rush down there. LOL.

A quick perusal of Google shows that Amazon plans to open at least 6 new warehouses in FL this year...

Are you that dumb that you cannot understand human error vs earthquake? If Florida had the earthquake risk that California had, hardly anyone would be alive down there. California has building codes for many types of earthquakes, except the Big One, which no technology can protect us from.

How weird. Some gorgeous places there when you follow the money just like DC area (or any other place really).

Florida building codes are actually pretty stringent given the hurricane risk. The condo collapse was an awful tragedy, but I’m not sure you can peg that on the state. I do wonder why people are so determined to hate Florida though. It’s pretty amusing.

I know. At least people are friendly down there.

Clearly PP calls it Cali so your argument was already proven wrong and you presented it anyways?

That’s rural poverty for ya. I could take similar pictures in every other US state. Up north would have fewer snakes/wildlife though.

Correct. Florida has some of the strictest building codes in the country. Unfortunately, that older condo building was not the only building to ever collapse in the country. There are buildings like that up and down both the East and West coasts.
