The kicker here is that although the SOH (Save Our Homes) amendment was easy to pass, it would be nearly impossible to remove by the same process.

Interestingly, the "Save Our Homes" constitutional amendment was BARELY passed by a few percentage points!

When it passed, a 50+% standard applied for constitutional amendments. The requirement is now 60+% for passage of constitutional amendments....

More than anything else, the thing about amending Florida’s constitution that bugs me the most is how it can be amended for any purpose. Pig farms and turtle nets are not constitutional issues. Neither are classroom sizes.
