"Snowbirds sound just awful. Born and bread Floridians, must be sick of them."
Not all. The numbers are just too high. Each year we get more and more and become less seasonally dependent. We have to build services for the peak and the tax burden is getting too much for people that live on a Florida wage. People with modest incomes get squeezed out. If the tax burden (++ impact fees, insurance) was shifted we would be better off. We passed a few laws this year that will shift the tax burden some - more to do on that score.
Miami-Dade area the worst?
