Hey, I live in Florida.
Should we tell those snowbirds to hurry back home to protect their houses from squatters?
It’d be great if they could leave so the traffic around here can be a bit better. Thanks to DeSantis’s Anti-Squatter bill, our homes in Florida are protected.
Most of these snowbirds come from the blue states up north. A lot of them have even moved here permanently from those blue states to Florida, Texas, and other red states, leaving their homes back there empty. If squatters take over those homes, it’ll make it easier for people to vote illegally. Plus, it’ll affect the next census.
That’s fine. But are you prepared to pony up 20% more in taxes to make up for the lost revenue? I hear ya; I lived there for a few years. Snowbirds can be annoying but they sure do subsidize the economy.
Ha! Great question. If they’re there for more than 30 days, tell them all bets are off, on their NY properties.
