A few reasons. I've lived in Florida nearly all my life. Only thing I can warn people is that Florida changes more than the weather. Crime doesn't sleep but our government sure does. So we're usually the proving ground for crazy ideologies.
Nearly 1.7 million homes in Florida have no occupants because companies can claim tax credits on empty homes they could not rent out for the year. So they can claim amazing returns from investments, and claim tax credits on their returns because they couldn't rent out the overpriced homes. It's government welfare for landlords.
It's bad. how bad will take time to tell. The stores are closing down, the leasing signs are coming up, and people in charge are pretending that they are winning because DeSantis is on the ballot.
