[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I’m not really tuned into Florida politics….
I know the “build a wall” campaign ad, and I know he disdains the woke mob for Covid restrictions, CRT, normalizing trans, etc…
But what’s life REALLY like with Ron in charge?  How are things in FL?  Are residents safer down there?  Are the effects of inflation not felt as much?  Do they have better health care/insurance, infrastructure, schools, etc?

DeSantis supporters in Florida, sell us on your guy.  [/quote]

NP here. NOT a DeSantis voter or supporter, but things in FL are...just fine.

The economy is booming, unemployment is low.

People who own homes have seen tremendous appreciation; people who don't are having trouble finding affordable housing.

Now that KN-95s, vaccines, etc. are widely available, I don't care what other people do WRT to Covid.

Homelessness and crime are concerns, but stats are middle-of-the-pack among states.

My view of public schools is that quality varies widely, with most being middling to crappy. But privates are widely available and less expensive than elsewhere. And, as discussed earlier, the state scholarship program provides exceptional access to an above-average state university system.

The culture war stuff is performative and has virtually no impact on day-to-day life. Where schools leave a gap, we fill it with discussions at home (discussing systemic racism, LGBTQ issues, etc.).

Lots of issues need more attention: environment, insurance costs, K-12 education. But is that really different from other states?

IMO, life under DeSantis is pretty much like life under any other governor. Uneventful and limited impact on most people's lives.[/quote]
