Because people have an idealized of "beach life" that is not really true. I won't go into all of the reasons why that is (they are well covered) but it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the belief you'll be watching Manatees from the beach while sipping a Marg in the sun all day. . . . So, let's be honest about that. [/quote]
dp... it's about the taxes and lower housing costs in a big metro area with lots of high paying jobs.

And you can see that playing out within  Miami where people are leaving Miami because of the high housing costs.

We have all heard over the course of the last few years about the flood of people moving to South Florida, but it turns out Miami-Dade is losing more residents than it's gaining.

A new report shows this is the county's first population loss since 1970.

"All this discussion about new Yorkers, or Californians moving to Miami-Dade County although correct does not offset the number of people moving out of our area,"  said Maria Ilcheva, a research professor for the census information center at F.I.U.  She said starting from the pandemic year the exodus started.

Figures from the U.S. Census reveal that 79,535 residents moved out of Miami-Dade County to other cities of Florida or other states from 2020 to 2022.

"The people who are moving out whether individuals or families are more in the middle-class spectrum," said Ilcheva, who said their conclusion was reached after carefully analyzing people tax declaration forms.

High rent and overpriced houses, along with other factors are pushing some to seek alternatives in Florida or elsewhere.

We see the exact thing playing out in expensive cities in CA. It's not about politics; it's about economics.[/quote]

DP.  I think it’s both.  There are certainly other cheap, low-tax states retirees could snowbird or move entirely to instead, but they dont have Florida’s appeal.  Of course then a hurricane arrives and obliterates your idyllic coastal community.[/quote]
