[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this whole story amounts to a political bee sting. By dissolving Reedy Creek, Florida Republicans probably made it a little more cumbersome and expensive for Disney to operate and grow, but — let’s be honest — it’s not that Disney won’t get what it wants. Look at Universal. They’ve aggressively expanded without a special taxing district. And we already know that Disney has no qualms about raising ticket prices to offset any increased business costs.

And while I personally don’t agree with Ron DeSantis on any issue, I see him as a fairly shrewd politician.[b] At the end of the day he’s not going to do anything that jeopardizes tens of thousands of jobs in his state.[/b]

He already did. Word is Disney is looking to reduce its exposure in Florida. They were moving a 2,000 people executive center to Florida….not any more. It’s just bad political to force companies to attack their customers and employees. [/quote]

The Imagineers and others in Disney California revolted and did not want to move to Florida. That had nothing to do with DeSantis. [/quote]

This. They didn't want to leave CA before the DeSantis/Disney feud. [/quote]
Again, why do you think they didn’t want to move?[/quote]

They like paying high state income taxes?[/quote]

Well, yeah in many ways. I am fairly certain that we are not going to acquire property in any state that may be under GOP rule for the foreseeable future, largely based on their responses to the pandemic. The risk to health is just too great if the state leaders do not believe in science and refuse to implement measures to safeguard the public's well-being. It's two years later and I am still in shock at how quickly the GOP politicized basic public health protocols. I may visit a red state, but I don't plan on spending my sizeable tax dollars through property holdings in one. [/quote]
