I think a lot of people who moved there are wondering also.
“There's just no way for people living here to afford it — the salaries that they pay here don't add up to the cost of rent," she said.
In May, CBS News called Florida the "least affordable" state in the country, and a 2019 Joblist study that compared wages to cost of living ranked Florida last out of all 50 states in terms of affordability. While Florida doesn't have an income tax, many new homebuyers will face rising property tax bills and skyrocketing insurance costs.

real estate prices are skyrocketing, because demand to live there is skyrocketing.
Here’s a newsflash Pete - state government doesn’t set housing prices in this country. They do control state income tax levels. Currently 0.0 in Florida.
The soaring housing prices hurt middle class amd below, no question. But that’s not something state government controls. We control
that, by deciding what we’re willing to pay.

you brought up real estate prices in an effort to attack desantis. so it wasn’t obvious to you.
soaring real estate prices is a sign that a state has made itself desirable.

Poor #^^^^&tim, did I mention Ronda Santis?
Of course you are compelled to defend the authoritarian de jour, that’s how you roll.
Just remember in a year when you’re claiming that you don’t really, but you’ll vote for him.
Sorta like the Trump stink.
