Jeff Bezos relocating his personal residence to Florida, Miami specifically

Rooting a little harder for Florida to be underwater today

 

Great, another billionaire moving to South Florida to drive real state prices further into the stratosphere. While all the high paying jobs he created remain in the West Coast and NE.

 

My guess is the giant yacht guy wants to be closer to places yacht guys go

 

He's promised to entomb all the people who work on his house with him so they can serve him in the afterlife

 

Maybe Amazon will finally open a corporate office in Florida. Third most populous state in the country and all we get are warehouses.

 

Of course, your hope is that all 'the ppl" get leveled as with a lawn mower to the least common denominator, rather than getting 'lifted with a rising tide.'

Radical alternative solution: maybe Washington could cut its taxes to keep its billionaires around.

(...or not. I suppose Florida can stand to take in another to add to its 500+ or so).

 

Is Miami that much better than Seattle?

Well, I guess where he is going to stay and buy, yes. They have their own islands for people with their kind of money down there.

 

I'm sure that Washington state will be fine losing the guy who already created his giant business in their state (and is, noticeably, not moving that business out of the state).

 

I don't think it matters, seems like he spends most of his time on his yacht

 

When you have Bezos money there are probably few better places for a primary residence in the US than S Fla

 

We finally found the one guy who can afford Florida's insurance prices

 

I would do the same if I had his kind of money.

 

I can't imagine Bezos is too concerned with the tax implications of his finances. But maybe i'm wrong and he's one of those uber rich guys who is hyper focused on it.

 

He’s not but his accountants are.

 

It is just planning ahead for his next divorce.

 

You think his accountants are like "hey richest guy in the world, you should move to Florida to save some money?"

I mean maybe. I'm too poor to know what rich people do

 

DeSantis can’t stop winning.

 

Rising Seas religious fervor.

 

Thought their offices were in Chyna
