[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of misconceptions on this board. Homes are taking longer to sell across the country, not just in FL. A $3M home is going to have high property taxes in most places. There are plenty of less expensive homes in nice areas in FL. Home values in FL had significant gains during the pandemic. That also created much higher property taxes. It's no longer a cheap place to retire in the sunshine, although there are still some reasonably affordable places to retire. Orlando is huge with some great neighborhoods outside the tourist areas. Some of you clearly just think of theme parks and have no clue about the rest of it. DeSantis is very popular with Floridians. If you must be among only other progressive libs, then skip FL and limit your search to the handful of diehard blue areas where you could be happy. PP wasn't joking about how efficiently FL is run. It's the opposite of DC city services.[/quote] I think I’m the one that questioned why anyone would want to move to Orlando. The weather is so disgusting 10 months of the year. Even October and March are way too hot and humid. And it’s very cookie cutter subdivisions, malls with chain stores/rsstaurants and terrible traffic. I see no real attraction. I can understand the attraction of some other areas in Florida. [/quote]
