There are slightly more Hispanics - specifically Cubans - which is why Miami typically goes R by about 5-10%. In the past, it's gone for Obama. So. . . . . What's your point? South Florida = Northeast. Everyone EXCEPT YOU seems to get this. Yeah, all those high rises along the beach are filled with Cubans. Are you seriously this dumb, or just that committed to your original dumb statement? But you are right about Spanish being the first language in Dade. Such a selling point. And the richest of rich coming from a MAGA hack.
Exact same crass, shitty people and rapacious scumbag developers. Just with an accent. . . . typically one with a NY twinge.
Maybe it could be its own thread but here’s an article on Florida migration Is Florida’s Migration Tide Turning? With young people exiting and a crack down on immigrants, cheap labor is going to be hard to find.
They seem to be pushing climate change as the reason for high insurance cost and the hurricanes causing the litigation. I can promise you the litigation is alive and well without hurricanes and always has been. Litigation has been involved in the roofs replacement cost to insurance companies going through the roof and before that it was sinkhole damage and before that it was water damage and mold claims. All those things did not come about because of hurricanes but were a large part of higher home insurance rates in Florida. Florida does not have some of the highest auto rates in the country because of hurricanes. Comprehensive coverage is about the cheapest part of a auto policy. It is liability and uninsured motorist that causes the high rates and that is due to all the attorneys and litigation here on Florida. While insurance and home rates are a factor in migration to Florida the higher litigation in Florida does not depend on hurricanes.
Insurance is only one part of housing costs, and doesn't really affect people renting (renters insurance costs like $10-15 month for most people) directly (though it does increase rents). If you come retire here and build/buy a brand new home your insurance cost is going to be super low compared to people in 30-40+ year old properties unless you build/buy somewhere crazy (i.e. coastal and islands). I know lots of people in their 30s now who are like "yeah I will probably never own a house in Florida." If they got a higher paying job somewhere else, they would probably leave in a heartbeat. The political environment makes it even easier for some people to leave if they have the opportunity, but I think most migration has little to do with politics.
