Wow. Spot on about tourism. We lived in one of the coastal communities in your shots for over 11 years. I chuckled when I saw it. Great editing, btw.! When we bought it was 50% vacation rentals and 50% homeowners. After Covid it went to 90% plus vacation rentals. We had to move to a community with an HOA that doesn’t allow them. The cost of living on the coast of FL has become much higher than even dollars can count. …how about one’s sanity?
Hi Hose, you mentioned the Keys and I once had a hard time believing there was homeless and that it was starting to get trashy? I just couldn’t imagine that happening down there ? But apparently it is real. That breaks my heart. Thanks for sharing.
I first came to SW Florida in 1986. I stayed at the Charter Club on Marco and immediately fell in love with the area. I bought a gulf access lot on Marco the next day for $28,500. I dreamed of building my retirement home someday. I even planted small palm trees on the lot. Over the years I came close to making the move but my most recent visit made me realize that it will never happen because it’s no longer the same place that I loved. Crowded with arrogant and privileged people and no longer affordable. Although I am retired now, I will never come back again. 😢
I remember going to my nephews,wedding in Panama city beach a few years ago. Wanted to rent a beach condo for a week. The basic rate was good but when I went to check out and pay deposit they had added in all kinds of resort fees, cleaning fees, resort taxes and on and on. I thought HELL NO! Found a hotel away from beach and cut the stay to only 3 days. Hawaii is,similar now with exorbitant add on fees. They are passing all their costs onto vacationers and short term rentals.
Yeah well, most of us who've lived here our whole lives have been removed.. thrown away like garbage. Enjoy your rental. No idea who you plan to have service you when we can't afford to live there.
@@HurtPeople-HurtPeople No one really because I'm priced out now to vacation there. I was only going there because my sister and her rich husband live south of Tampa. They evil people so I cut them off and have no desire to see them or Florida again. I went to school in Tallahassee FAMU and FSU for years in the eighties.

@@louv3347Umm.. you must not know your state well. And P.S., the story is about Floridians as a whole, not you and other individuals who are exceptions to the rule.
Florida has no state income tax, however that "benefit" is offset by the fact that auto insurance and home owners insurance are very expensive there due to high volumes of traffic and hurricanes. Florida also has a lack of good paying jobs.
TIME to make AIRBNB's illegal OR find a way to regulate them OUT OF BUSINESS I THINK this economy will do a lot of that when these owners can't rent them and thus can't make the payments- and the banks are grabbing them. YAHOO !
Jose, outstanding content and you're spot on. Florida's past decades of the life style with low cost labor is beginning to backfire. A few years prior to the pandemic the side hustle pick up truck folks, the gig worker and service employees could afford a basic living. Economic inflation and Florida's employment opportunities has changed the average workers ability to survive. I believe as you stated, Florida has 2 economic ingredients - retires with money and tourism. When the honest hard working folks that live in the community cannot afford to live in the community then it's a red flag. Look what happened in St Petersburg when an area was gentrified as well as other areas. Then we have the spiraling out of control taxes, insurance and rents, let alone home prices. As we say in the Mitten, Joe lunch bucket just wants to work and provide for his family, just provide the opportunity. God Bless and you know what to watch out for.
I've lived in Florida for 25 years now and I remember all of the hurricanes in the early 2000s. I also remember insurance companies pulling this crap before, but the difference was Jeb Bush and Charlie Crisp negotiated with the insurance companies and basically held the insurance companies by the balls. They said that if insurance companies weren't going to write home insurance policies then they might as well leave the state because they won't be able to write car, life, Insurance policies either. So, instead of giving in to the big insurance companies, our leaders put the citizens of the state first, and was about to throw out about 10 insurance companies, but guess what? The insurance companies knew they'd lose millions of dollars so they did succumb to the pressures of our governors and didn't leave the state and wrote homeowners' insurance policies. But we have a crazy Nazi as a governor and and he'd rather line his pockets with money instead of helping the citizens of Florida that sadly voted for him.
Why do you say it's democrats are to blame for Florida's wows? Since not only a red state but every elected seat is held by a republican . The governor, the 2 senator Florida, is a bad place to be. It's absolutely worthless.
@JohnathanRebel2 if Tom has all the money, go through Tom's hands. You can't blame Jerry for the stolen money. Is that clear enough? Now replace Tom and Jerry with Republicans and Democrats. and the pattern is more noticeable.
You really should run for office. You are very knowledgeable. I hate when I see these Sheriff’s press conferences with people standing behind him, saying nothing, but getting paid for tv face-time.
More great content, as they develop more, there will be less land to absorb the rain, and this will increase flooding. When you are dealing with such an elderly demographic, they do not care about the future.
In the mid '70s, as a teenager, I lived in a small town just outside of Orlando, and most of Florida was nice...and a lot of fun. It no doubt had its problems, but overall a decent place. Loads of small towns, each unique. Sad to see it go down the porcelain whirlpool....
Everything you said is right on target. However, the part about "quick claim deed" in a scam. It's a "quit claim deed", and that is what every properly finalized deed in a sale of real estate is supposed to have. A quit claim deed is a good thing. I would not pay one penny for a piece of property that didn't come with a quit claim deed.
What do you want Florida to be? Florida has been great to me. I learned a lot about myself here and I wake up to great weather every day. I have no state tax and I consider this a “free” state when it comes to laws. The United States has become wildly competitive so you can’t just get by with an average job anymore. Need a serious career and can’t be lazy if you plan on living in most cities in the US
Florida is a rupublican run state, so mentioning only a democrat (in the beginning of the video) as a lone example is erroneous. The corruption down there isn't new either. Most states in the USA (democrat OR republican) are run just as corruptly. This is just being allowed to run rampant by the republicans w/no consequnces (unless they decide to use a democrat as an example).
LoL.....its Republican not rupublican. Florida is only Republican run of the last few years. Prior to that it was Democrat dominated. And it is absolutely everything this vlogger says it is. I lived there for decades. The place is a hot mess.
@@pattikelly8921Grammar police in the building, uh oh. Well, this is what we do know. Florida has ALWAYS had, a huge conservative elderly population, and an even bigger Confederate / racist, red-neck population. So regardless of politics, Florida is heavily influenced by the 2
What makes no sense to me is we have thousands of people moving here from crap states that are falling apart due to bad policies. They come here then want to change this state to the same crap they left in the first place.
I didn’t flee communism i fled an oppressive regime… thats where USA is heading soon. Castro was as popular as trump when he took the island… decades ago.

High insurance premiums and heavy taxation has ruined Florida.
The reason the insurance companies have been able to screw us all is because the politicians have been fighting for them at every turn.
High insurance rates, no good paying jobs, higher cost of living, and lower wages.
@@asielmilian38 WHO NEEDS THAT ?
What higher insurance rates? Mine have been fine with State Farm and I made sure to stay out of flood zone.
@@louv3347Umm.. you must not know your state well. And P.S., the story is about Floridians as a whole, not you and other individuals who are exceptions to the rule.
This is occurring nationwide. Inflation- increase in homelessness and crime.
Florida has no state income tax, however that "benefit" is offset by the fact that auto insurance and home owners insurance are very expensive there due to high volumes of traffic and hurricanes. Florida also has a lack of good paying jobs.
The money has to come from somewhere. This kind of regressive taxation tends to hit the poor & working classes the hardest.
