Thank you Governor DeSantis.
Florida is so damn crowded now. Takes forever to get anywhere. Lines around the block for anything. Couldn’t wait to get back to Northeast. We need a Florida #2, with same great policies but less crowded.
most of Florida is empty. The crowds are around the edges ... mostly yankee transplants ...
I’ve notice quite an uptick in traffic in the Treasure Coast. It was fairly gradual up to COVID, at which point it jumped considerably.
Perhaps if we can send some of the illegals home it would help.
***mostly yankee transplants***
I remember the 1980s when the anti-gun Brady Center had plans to turn Florida into an anti gun state due to all the New Yorkers moving there. They failed.
“Florida is so damn crowded now.”
It is so crowded nobody goes there any more.

Yankee transplants are fine. It’s the history of the South. AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT TRANSPLANT NUTCASE POLITICS!
“The two big categories in both states’ budgets are education and health care.”
IOW - Organized crime and embezzlement
Especially as you get further North and West in the State, the majority of the population growth is from I-4 South and a few places in the North like north of Daytona including St. Augustine and St. Johns County, once you get 25-30 miles inland, it’s still mostly farmland.
I spent 35 years in Central Florida before moving back to my home state of TN during the COVID debacle. I miss the Florida of years past, but missing it is not going to bring it back. The move to a very rural (pop. 2k) TN town was definitely a net positive.
The biggest difference is pubic employees.
Salaries and benefits for Public employees at all levels, including Cops, Firefighters, and Schools.
They all vote for the public spending in exchange for votes.
The few benefit, the many get screwed.
The model of High Tax-High Wage destroys everything
Eventually, you run out of other people’s money.
Manhattan Contrarian ping
Enjoyed and Lived in north central Florida for 45 years before family moving to Colorado. (Political mistake).
Visited New York, daughter went to Colgate, would not live there for a New York minute.
THESE STATISTICS ALONE ARE ENOUGH TO SINK HOCHUL
I was born in Florida. My company asked me to move to colorado and I lived there for 22 years. Now I am back in Florida.
Oftentimes the name of the Manhattan Contrarian should be changed to the Manhattan Oracle.
Welcome home sir!
Fraud and graft.
