Yeah, but there's a difference. You can elect a new government or reset societal priorities to change the tax rate—people in NY like all the stuff they have and they have to pay for it. You can't reset the thing that is causing higher insurance, and it's not going to stop. Sell, sell, sell while you still can!

This made me LOL. NY has been trying for years to root the corruption out of state and local government, and the Assembly is still a holding pen for future felons. The entire appropriations system in NY is set up to facilitate corruption. It amuses me how NYers act like Trump's scams are some sort of aberration, when it's really just how business is done in NY. Your taxes are going to pockets of politicians and the friends of politicians and NYers get the crumbs and act all happy about it.

In westchester taxes are high because Rowan’s are small and offer lots of services (fire, police, school, public works, etc) with a small mostly non-commercial tax base. Florida has pretty bad schools and services. I agree that the assembly is a mess but this is an apples and oranges comparison.

Wind insurance is just one half of the insurance you need for a hurricane. Still need to pay separately for flood insurance policy.

And lots of septic issues in Miami because flooding and high water table. It’s horrifying Ron Desantis is passing bills to remove climate from legislation and backing fossil fuel drilling instead of focusing on resiliency and creating zoning laws that discourage building or drilling or development near the water and wetlands. Ignoring climate science continues to backfire and at some point it will simply be too late for a lot of people. It already is for many.

They're 10 miles inland in a newer home with hurricane windows, but their home is nice (5 bedroom). Those barrel tiles roofs are $$$ to replace. Florida construction is also incredibly expensive because the homes are made of cinderblock with metal studs. Windows, garage doors and roofs are all hurricane grade. One of our Virginia homes wouldn't last a second in even a cat 3 storm.

There aren't enough hours in the day to post articles like the below:

Miami associated itself with the first “city coin,” a crypto token that Suarez claimed would help boost the municipal budget.

The effort hasn’t panned out. FTX collapsed as its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, was indicted and subsequently convicted of fraud; the Heat’s arena now carries the name of Kaseya, a Miami software firm.

Attendance at crypto conferences has dwindled. MiamiCoin, which was valued at 5 cents when it came on the market in August 2021, now trades for about 16-thousandths of a cent, if anyone cares — there doesn’t seem to have been a trade in eight months. The city is searching for relevance in the modern technology landscape.

The same sources that talked up the flight of entrepreneurs from the Bay Area to Miami, Austin and other Silicon wannabes are now running articles about startup founders moving back; often the return is accompanied by complaints about the lack of a true innovation culture in their new homes, as well as traffic congestion and housing prices soaring out of reach — much the same as one would find in any large city.
