Desantis 🧐 yet folks reelect this fool

I live in a beautiful small town in Florida. There are beautiful springs, wonderful wildlife preserves and the ocean is only about 30 mins away. Im only an hour from Orlando if I want to partake in theme parks, concerts etc. the biggest downside, for me personally is the heat from June through November, I 4 traffic and home/car insurance. Nonetheless, for me the good outweighs the bad and I can't imagine living anywhere else honestly.

FL is TRULY A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE IF YOU ARE AN ALLIGATOR! SUPER HOT, SUPER HUMID, VERY EXPENSIVE, NOT MUCH TO DO AND DEADLY HIGHWAYS FULL OF DRUG ADDICTS, ELDERLY AND FOREIGNERS NOT USED TO THE BIG HWAYS. I LEAVE FROM JUNE TO OCTOBER, ITS UNBEARABLE

I used to live there in 79 on Montauk.

I hate insects so idk about moving to Florida lol

good info. I would add that the Oligarchs (Rump and pals) are instigating the us vs . them mentality. its the fascists' playbook. the real enemies are the Oligarchs, you know, the super rich and the insurance co who won't pay claims.

Why? Because at the end of the day, it's just another shitty red state! 😂

DeSantis 😂😂😂😅😅😊😊

The only way for this to be fair is for the federal government to subsidize all the people that live in Florida, who are being hit with these high rates. This is the only way to really have freedom.

Fla sucks

Yep I left Fla in April 2024 thank God

The corrupt builders got together with the building owner and corrupt politicians and built cheap shoddy foundations. Then the theiveing owners sold the buildings and now the new owners and condo owners are stuck with the repairs. Games people play.

Florida has a long history of big ups and big downs in prices. Lots of people move to florida with big dreams and head back home with their tail between their legs.

The state was still net positive by over 120k new residents. Stats show younger poor are moving out and older wealthy are still moving in. Builders will adjust to inventory demand just like they always have. Economic downturn is a natural part of our economy. I have lived through 3 and every time everyone said it was the end of life as we know it. If new storm patterns don’t make the state unsustainable ocean rise surely will at some point.

CRIME!!!!!

Insurance is very expensive!

I wanna retire as a hot tub crab freak in Boca Raton

#1 reason not to move to Florida is transplant New Yorkers. #2 is New Jersey transplants. #3 is P.A. transplants. #4 is N.E. transplants. #5 is fricking obvious! I was born here in 1956 just like my great grand parents and know Florida real well newbies.

Nice place to visit but not to live there.

Floridass sucks! .

I bet everyone in hell calls it paradise due to lack of honesty

Ron DeSantis has to go. He's definitely not the answer for Florida, but he's a huge problem.

For one and for two why people leaving Desatan is the governor.

How bout the traffic. 10 minute drive takes 45

I’m out of here as soon as I can afford to be. Born and raised, always loved it, but after the last 10 years, the un affordability, angry old people, political climate, climate climate(lol), insurance. It’s just not worth it at all, there’s plenty of more beautiful and far cheaper places all over the country.

I am from up north, and I am staying in Florida. 😊

Get real... I guess folks just make this shiz up hoping for the gullible to believe.. Florida has NEVER (yes NEVER) had a year of population decline. How about doing some research before trying to shock-jock the foolish. The pandemic year was the only year below 1% growth year over year. The real estate market is definitely in the no buy zone because of demand from those coming to the best known free state with a balanced budget and NO personal income tax. Folk leave for Tennessee and West NC for lower cost economics. At the same time home costs are mitigated by builders that have bought out every back woods town with more agreeable permitting adjacent to the larger markets and the largest boom of more affordable homes ever. South Florida is no longer Florida... The market is bolstered by folks that cant afford the insurance rates and upgrade requirements to stay in their older homes. The new Florida rural Cities Just outside the major areas. Nokomis, Lake Wales, Wimauma, Lutz, Spring Hill... They are on fire to satisfy the more affordable option.

Florida where insurance companies, history and books go to die!!! rekwife

Can you recommend a Delray realtor? I will be there Friday 12/20 looking for a 1 v bedroom Villa $1800 per month.

HOA'S 😔

The condo situation in Florida is not as bad as the rental situation in CA. Condos are for certain not a perfect situation but they are better than the solutions found in other states.

I'M ALSO LEAVING FLORIDA. TOO MANY PEOPLE FROM NY ARE MAKEING IT TOO CROUDED.. GETTING TO BE TOO MANY PEOPLE IN MY GREAT STATE.. TEXAS LOOKS TOO BE BETTER.

DeSantis is right, the law he signed is hurting condo owners...

Can't happen to a more deserving group of people.

Florida🐊🐍No Thanks Better my DC💙💙💙🇺🇲🦅

These the same reason I left on March this year to the greatest state of California. And I am loving it. Better pay, state taxes, better benefits, quality of life, everything is near by. I live in LA there are a lot of fun things to do., contact with the nature. When you move to a different state make sure you speak at least a second language, have a career, come with job or transfer. Also, you can speak any language and it’s not anyone business. Also, a lot of Spanish speakers. I had experienced few quakes, also some wild fires around caused by Santa Ana winds.

Any of the slave wage labor that built the things could have told you they were a terrible idea but the last thing elites are going to do is listen to people who actually work for living

Like the legislatures, you stopped at the first reason for the tragedy in Surfside. Additionally, the inspections are only finding what’s wrong and how much it will cost. No one is asking WHY beyond the surface level; what happened to “Root Cause Analysis” and/or asking “Why” 5 times? Why did/are properties is such poor shape? Cost of repair. Why are the repairs so costly? The repairs are structural. Why is the structure failing? Lack of preventive maintenance? Shoddy materials initially used? Land on which the property was built? Demonizing 5-7 volunteers, following the majority consensus, is easy. Finding the real answers is hard, and can lead to some very uncomfortable conversations, but could save millions of dollars and quite possibly some lives!

I don’t think it’s so much that older people who buy these are irresponsible I think that when they sign these contracts, they hurried through them and the condo associations are quick to make sure that they just sign it and not really understand totally what is expected of these new owners as years go down the road. I imagine ,having never owned a condo, There must be a lot of fine print that should have been read by someone legal before these people bought the home to begin with, and it must’ve outlined what would have been expected of them for future events. I think that people who are retired should not be buying into these huge condos if they have the credit and they have the means they should just buy a regular home. It’s a lot safer a lot more manageable. Condos are for people who have jobs or careers and are able to get a loan if they need one to help pay for large assessments.

good. poor planning and greed.

I was a Realtor in California for 8 years and sold mostly condos in the Bay Area. I’ve seen some pretty shaky condo financial statements but never in my 8 years did I see anything as bad as what seems to be typical in Florida. Please folks - Demand to see that reserve study. Make sure it’s both recent and credible. (In CA associations are supposed to update it every 3 years but many don’t.) Make sure the reserves are properly funded. The new laws in Florida aren’t causing this pain. These repairs were all going to have to happen sooner or later. All your legislature did was reveal the problem that’s always been there. Also - Don’t think that buying a new condo protects you. These costs are there whether the law requires your board to deal with it now or not.

This is what happens when politicians get involved. They are pretty close to the most stupid people in the crowd. As I hear you, it would seem that buying a condo in a 3 story building or lower is the best option. Are there any requirements for those buildings?

Floridians have been whistling in the dark for decades under GOP rule ignoring any real issue that have popped up. Those days are over. Time to pay the piper.

You get what you vote for,losers🎉

Same problem as that condo problem all over Australia. Lack of regulations means developers get away with a shit job. There has been many high rises in high demand areas that were reported with such defects that residents had to evacuate.The developers are often from China, and they are quick to shut down the company once the building is built, so they don't have to deal with legal consequences. Property buyers get to buy what turns out to be worthless junk. So far, no such fatal accident in Australia, but it could happen.

South Florida has an interesting reputation: crime drugs, crazy people, crazy drivers, toxic politics, no care about endangered manatees or ecology, etc

Just make sure that when you leave Florida, leave Desantis politics there.

When you have 30 years of neglect with reserve fund and repairs to get a low maintenance fee, then what do you expect?

ONE THING…EVER SINCE, ONLY TWO STATES THAT WE WILL NEVER VISIT OR LIVE…”NEW YORK AND FLORIDA!!!”

Governor Desantis needs to do something to help all the seniors who live on social security who are getting hit with assessments and HOA increases that they can not possibly afford. These older retired people are going to be homeless. WTF is going on with Desantis and I am a Trump supporter. . It just seems so unfair to the elderly people who worked their entire lives to retire and now are forced to move because of the the special assessments and crazy increase in HOA fees. What's even more disgusting are the envelopes of money being handed to corrupt HOA members who take huge bribes to get these massive contracts. This has to be the most corrupt real estate market in the entire country. And you put out great content so thanks for your videos.
