Some of the politicos in the Keys bring up affordable housing whenever they are running or want to look good for something. Truth is very little of it ever gets built. And by the time it does get built so many long term Keys people have moved out, it's almost anticlimactic.
We have an 11 mile road on upper key largo with thousands of acres that are nothing but swamp, mangroves, yet high and dry land. Very buildable, but it has endangered rats, mice, trees, crocs and more important stuff than affordable housing.
So it just sits off the tax rolls year after year. And those who make less than 75-80 thousand per household leave the keys in droves every year.
Its a great placed to live as long as you don't have to work and are independently wealthy.

Well, it's good that somebody did it. I was so disgusted that we sent these people back. Why is Bush keeping BJ's policies re Cuba in place?

Since the Coast Guard said that the "unconnected" bridge in the Florida Keys wasn't part of the U.S. when those 15 Cuban refugees reached it, a group of tongue-in-cheek Keys separatists are claiming the land. I hope they have their day in court so that the Bush administration has to admit that it was wrong.

It was definitely wrong. I still want to know why Bush has never overturned Bill's pro-Castro policy on Cuban refugees.

I want to say the deal was cut long ago and has something to do with sending Haitian refugees back but not Cuban.
I hate to say it, but I think it is due to a PC decision along those lines.

Do they tax their citizens on global income? How does one get citizenship and a passport?

Do you have your own zip code?
Ted Kennedy is so fat that not only does he have his own zip code, but little liberals orbit him as their home planet!
