The economy is not great here in FL. Houses are unaffordable for most working class people and sales are way down. Older people on fixed incomes are being forced to leave the state due to insurance and condo fees etc growing out of control at a crazy pace. Many of these people even assumed things would rise up to like 8% a year but have seen their insurance and/or fees double on them in the past few years. The younger working people I know have less disposable income due to this and the crazy electricity and food inflation of the past few years. Inflation on essentials has went up way more than those comical inflation figures the govt puts out.

Standard of living is verging on third world in much of the U.S. But Florida is arguably least bad.
