[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope Floridians will remember that right before Hurricane Ian, DeSantis used FL state funds to fly amnesty seekers from TX to other states to score political points.[/quote]

Well that's the thing. And also let our state's property insurance market completely collapse on his watch. Crist, running against him, was voted in as governor last time he won in part to fix the state's property insurance system. So, let's see if that happens again.

I loathe DeSantis but he's seemed ok during the storm. Not great. Not the guy you can't wait to see the next update from. Not the guy who seems to be sharing in people's pain or assuring them that he will be there every step of the way to get people back on their feet.

So, who knows.[/quote]

That is not DeSantis’s thing. He will steal aid money and divert the rest to his friends. [/quote]

The recovery will be slow and contentious. Insurers are going to blame all major damage on flooding and will not pay for anything except roof repairs inland where it didn’t flood. People who have flood insurance will get paid but not enough to cover a total loss and the federal government will require rebuilding to higher elevations and stronger building standards. Cities and developers will want to put everything back as it was and will fight the federal government demands for disaster mitigation but it is a condition of the federal money. The state and local governments will hand out contracts to cronies, some of whom will blatantly misspend the money and piss everybody off.  Some people will want to sell and move away rather than deal with all this shit, but who will pay them what they think their property is worth? People displaced from their homes will face a shortage of rental options and high rent. [/quote]
