- Why Is EVERYONE Leaving South Florida!? (500,000 People Left)
So is South Florida really the place to be in 2024? "I thought everyone was moving there?" The short answer is yes, people are still flocking down to Florida, but its been noted that 700,000 moved here in 2022 all while almost 500,000 left which begs the question, why is everyone leaving South Florida all of a sudden?

It seems many people are viewing this video as if there is a mass exodus happening in South Florida. That is not the case AT ALL! In this video, I mention that Florida has been either number 1 or number 2 for net migration in the last 2 years. This video simply addresses the fact that half a million people left in one year and I talk about the reasons why they are leaving while so many people still want to move in! If you recently moved out of South Florida, we'd love to hear your reason for leaving if it wasn't mentioned in this video. Let us know below this comment!
So, I will tell you why, partly, many natives & long time locals have left or will eventually leave: For much of the previous decades in Florida, it was possible as an individual without a college degree to "make it" even thru hard times, because the culture of employment in some higher level occupations did not demand such. That is GONE. The NY/NE types have inserted themselves in positions of influence in govt & business, and make every higher level employment REQUIRE a degree, even if you are sufficiently qualified w/o degree. It's become an "East Coast" attitude (mostly by NY influence) to expect a college education for almost every higher occupation. So, if you don't have a college degree and don't intend to work your way up to grocery store manager, you will have a tough time finding quality paying employment, especially in South Florida. There are employers in other States that will happily pay you well for your experience, and you won't need to show them some fancy paper from NYU to get a good salary. Florida simply does not have the Silicon Valley type of economy to allow non-degreed employees to find niches of well payed non-degreed positions. This an elitist approach, and eventually, many of the decent non-degreed individuals will discover this and leave. The arrogants that remain will have to humiliate each other to get the satisfaction they get from mistreating those Floridians that didn't have the privilege of mommy/daddy trust money to send them to college.
@@seekingtruthlight I left. Love South Florida but despise the up-north rudeness and attitudes
check out the IRS data on whom exactly is migrating in.
Left Ft. Lauderdale. Traffic, entitled rich people, poorly built housing, nothing old to see, crime, bad areas, snow birds, tourists, drunk college kids, etc.
Hi GD, can you speak more about the crime? Im planning to move here and safety is a concern of mine.
@@1q2w3e2w1q youll be fine. look up crime maps. stay out of those areas... miami is horrid. broward is where its at.
Same reason I'm leaving.. it's terrible now.. I came here like 10 years ago..all you have listed and the homeless explosion is insane..it's become a cesspool of humanity.. self-centered, entitled people galore...def not the place I moved to and enjoyed.
I have been in Fort Lauderdale since 2019 and it has changed so much in just 5 years its crazy. The skyline looks completely different and yes the traffic has noticeably gotten much worse. I can't imagine how much it's changed since even 10 years ago!
@@brad1034I hear you. Saludos from blue ridge mountain , Georgia 🇺🇸
I moved to Florida in 2021. The only Con that makes me consider leaving is that it is gard to make a living. Pay is very low. I made more as a Nurse in 2019 up North than I do here in 2024. Cost of living has far outpaced my wages. Even if my kids go to College I dont know where they would find jobs here. The skilled labor jobs that require a 2 year degree only pay $15/ hr. Its mostly low wage service jobs I see here.
I speak about this in many of my videos. That's one of the things that people don't expect when they move here and I try to bring it to light through my videos. The cost of living outpaced the salaries by far!
Welcome to Florida, the right to work for nothing state.

Yes please leave south Florida
👏👏👏👏
It's like rush hour everyday from 10am-8pm now
Amen. They have packed in way too many people. I live in "the downtown" and the traffic is getting really bad.
The increased cost of homeowners, wind, flood, auto insurance more than cancels out having no income tax
Exactly unless you are very high income you would be losing way more living there
Have you seen property taxes in NY and NJ ? I'm still way ahead going from NJ to FL.
The cost of homeowners insurance is high here too in mississippi but you have to have it, along with all other insurances.
Top 3 reasons why why people leave FL in no particular order: 1. Normal job or education related transfers, 2. Some people moved to FL during/after COVID because they thought they could work remotely, but companies are rescinding that policy and they have to move back, 3. Cost of HOA fees and homeowner insurance has skyrocketed, for reasons we all know about (like collapse of the Condo in Miami).
Other than the weather, all of the negative issues have surfaced exponentially since DeSantis took office. Ugh
@@jeffersonjohns6397 The number of people leaving FL is trivial compared to the number leaving CA and NY.
@@Mark-rw3kw Excellent point
I moved to Coral Springs FL in 2013 and now I'm moving to Greenville, SC. I'm saving my mind, body, soul and money.
good luck to ya...thats a good move, I have also consider that move either SC or NC get me a trailer home and live the simple life, Florida is ridiculously expensive
South Florida is a victim of its own success. Twenty years ago when I was there it was getting crowded. Traffic was horrible. We all cant live on the "beach" as my friend would say.
Why didn’t you invest 20 years ago? You would be sitting pretty now!
Can't beat Florida on the good new laws they passed recently like anti squatter and anti lifetime alimony laws. All states should have these same laws.
My state is dumb as a mule
…and he gutted DEI departments from state schools, banned porno from public school libraries, banned teaching about sexuality and gender from schools, banned roadway protests, etc. DeSantis is on the right (correct) side on many issues.
@@hejiranyc "gutted" DEI, still pushes fast promotion for jews
Yep. We love ❤️ our Governor and Patriot state.
There is more to politics that makes or breaks a state. And that what this RUclips video is about. There is a RUclips video about how many Floridians are relocating to Georgia and the Carolinas. The pandemic is in the rear view mirror and Florida's growth is slowing down and outbound migration is growing.
We left Florida after living there 8 years. We left 3 years ago before Home Owners and Auto insurance skyrocketed- so those were not reasons per se- The reasons were the oppressive HOA with great ideas to spend money on useless projects and hit everyone with higher fees and special assessments, hurricanes, lived thru Irma in 2017 and did not want to repeat it, hot as heck in the summer, stuck up better than everyone else golfers who looked down on anyone who did not golf, traffic and over development, The beauty of the area was destroyed by building on every square inch. A trip to P:ublix which should have been 10 minutes turned into 30 with all the traffic and shopping in season with all the snow birds was horrendous. The winters were the nicest time of year BUT snowbirds ruined it with their influx and making everything overcrowded. Made a nice profit on our home and moved.
I've even noticed a huge difference since 2019 with the congestion and the Fort Lauderdale skyline has changed so much. There no room to build out so they're just building up. I haven't had a client leave because of any HOA situation as of yet, but insurance definitely. Summer 2023 was one of the worst I've ever experienced in terms of heat/humidity, not as bad with rain, and now this winter seems like its been longer than normal (At least out of the 5 years I've been here). So far for me the pros still outweigh the cons. Maybe the longer I'm here, that will change but who knows. Hope you're enjoying your new home!
I'm moving to Greenville, SC for all the reasons you expressed. The quality of my life in Coral Springs Florida stinks.
My insurance went from 2000 dollars a year, to 5000 dollars year in 4 years, for a 1550 sq ft home built in 2019 with a metal roof. Plus my taxes doubled from 1700 to 2700 dollars. I was 65 1/2 in March of 2023, I decided to leave. Quit my job and retire. Because, my finances wouldn't support me. So I sold that house and moved to another state. My home taxes being 65 plus on my NEW home was 700 dollars. My insurance is still high, at 1800 dollars, but it is cheaper to live in my new state. I miss Florida. But I had to go .Plus my truck tag was 27 dollars!
You said it so well ..... Florida is different. I moved out of FL after 26years in Tampa! My wife lived there her whole life.
Most of the people moving to FL are so mad about leaving their previous location so they cam to FL and started acting like A--holes!
@@pinschrunner Other than the weather, all of the negative issues have surfaced exponentially since DeSantis took office. Ugh
I lived in Florida and moved back to Illinois, my job paid $25,000 more so returning was a no brainer, I originally sold my house to move there and pay for a house in cash, the fees and prices cancelled out the no income tax income by far and not to mention I took a pay cut of $12,000 originally, I returned and had a better job than when I left
the home insurance crisis is by far the number one deterrent .
They making Florida for the super rich now. The types that can afford to lose a home and recover quickly without missing a beat.
I grew up in St Pete and moved away with marriage and career and children. I moved back in 2021 over to Brevard County. The insurance debacle is insane; if I ever leave that's going to be the reason, plus the cost of housing. I was only able to afford a small old house. I also don't like the huge influx of people ...Florida definitely is not like it used to be. There are far too many New York New Jersey and Californians here much louder faster crowded etc.
i am from New York and I plan on moving to florida. Im not paying 900k here with 22k in property taxes to live in the hood. on top of paying 40k in state income taxes. florida is 1/3rd of the cost for me.
You failed to mention all the foreigners moving here.
@danm3340
Well you voted for it
@@user-ux3jk8cd6z I don’t vote
californians lmao yea right
New construction is unabated in SW FL. It's the green space that's declining.
I have lived in New Hampshire for 21 years, Colorado for 28 years, Florida for 2 years and I spend a lot of time visiting Arizona. My husband is from Florida and when he moved back to the state he could not believe how much the state has changed. Traffic is really bad, our car insurance doubled over night, home owners insurance is $8000 a year. Hurricane Ian caused damage to my house and I find Florida’s humidity to be oppressive. We will be moving out of state in the next month and I can’t wait. I know some people love Florida and I also have met a lot of people that said they gave it a try but it’s not for them. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone that wants to move to Florida or ANY state is to rent for a full year before purchasing a home. Everyone thinks the grass is greener but what you get is more manure. Thanks for the honest video. I know there will be hateful comments but people need to hear both sides.
>Everyone thinks the grass is greener but what you get is more manure.
Quote of the day!!!! Well stated! 👏👏👏👏
You're welcome! I try my best to deliver both sides, the good and the not so good
Other than the weather, all of the negative issues have surfaced exponentially since DeSantis took office. Ugh
Truth. I’m out of St. Pete next week.😊
I'm not going anywhere. I dock a world cruising capable sailboat in my backyard. It's just minutes to open water with no locks or bridges. Year-round boating.
I don't blame you!
I'm in NY state right now but I will be the first to admit that Florida is the greatest state in the USA right now. Politics is the number 1 reason why people are moving there from my conversations.
Depends on your politics for me I would never move to Florida
South Fl is closer to NYC than the rest of the state. Don't NYC my FL.
Californian Democrats are just as bad if not worse. Just look at San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles.
so true .. the New York effect was stronger in South Florida than when I lived in New Jersey
It's the 6th borough of NYC! Miami/Fort Lauderdale
This guy came here five years ago and he’ll probably leave in two they come and they go let’s speak to character
@@jamesmckendry915 I have lived in 3 different states throughout my life but I have no plans on going anywhere anytime soon!
But you didn't mention New Yorkers moved here not only because it was more free covid restriction-wise, but also because they were getting paid NY salaries and were able to work remote due to covid and realized how freaking cheap it was down here and word spread and here they all came. So the Florida local with the same exact job was being paid half as much (maybe less) for the same job as the New Yorker. So when the prices are now reflecting NY pay scale/salaries here...the Floridians at their Florida salaries are being run out of town. It's terrible luck for Floridians. Lucky for New Yorkers. So this is a major reason we say don't New York our Florida. New Yorkers crowded the place...loaded up the prices...and yes brought their politics that weren't working in NY here. 😢
Arizona has been California'd. Used to have cheap gas, housing etc. My neighbor just listed his house a few days ago. Asking $699,000 and it needs a lot of work. He paid $224,000.
Nah lived in palm beach all my life and its getting worse with all the people coming here
Get out, brother! If the insurance doesn't take you down, the property taxes will!
Thanks for being honest. I moved to Naples, six years ago. Cost of living here, is just insane. Putting my home up for sale shortly….
Excellent information, thank you
Having watched this video and read ALL the comments, I am relieved to realize it wasn’t just me. Because for a while, I thought, am I the only one noticing how much is changing and not for the better? Having lived in Deerfield Beach for 27 years, SFL used to be a great place to live. But it isn’t anymore, sadly. Moved away two years ago to just North of Orlando, for the same reason others have left and because living there began to feel more and more like living in a foreign country. You need to be bilingual. Zero desire to live there again or even visit. Which is not something I ever thought would happen. Oh and all our insurances dropped by almost a third when we moved.
I live in Sarasota-county..expensive insurance taxes a d too many housing developments destroying the area..developments forced on citizens against their will by the county commissioners..
Lot of challenges in Florida. It is not one just a one factor but many other issues why people typically do not stay in Florida more than few years. Lot of crooks , con artists and greedy people
Thank you Don!
You got it! 🙏
Thanks friend. I live happily retired in Temple Terrace Florida. Moved from N.J. 11 years ago. We rent 55 and over. Still expensive for seniors.
I was a one-year resident of SW Florida in the 1980s. While I liked it there in some ways, I was just way too young to stay in a retirement area at 22. I moved but I always kept the idea of moving back to FL for retirement in my back pocket, probably in interior northern Florida. Over time, I slowly and then more quickly gave up on the idea of moving there for retirement. I love warm weather and I'm fine with humidity and dislike cold weather, so no issues there. But there are other issues:
1. Hurricanes. The sizes of them and their intensities are getting worse as the waters surrounding the state get warmer and warmer. And it's not just the shorelines. Interior Florida can also flood and get hit with strong winds. A hurricane can literally reach across the entire width of the peninsula. I really don't want to be 80 and trying to flee a Katrina-style hurricane.
2. Home insurance. That market is in utter turmoil because of No. 1.
3. Influx of people. Florida is a fragile landscape. There are simply too many people there for the land to support. Infrastructure is getting swamped - by people and by water.
4. Real estate values / cost of living. They're way too high. And it looks like that's starting to change for real estate, but I just don't want to live in a boom/bust area.
5. Politics. I'm one of 28 people in the United States who is still a political moderate. OK, I exaggerate. They're still 279 of us left. Anyhooo, Florida has shifted too far to the right for my tastes with DeSantis and his culture wars. There are other things more important to worry about. (And I'm staying away from super-liberal areas, too, if possible. That limits your choices in 2024 America).
Anyway, five strikes. Ain't gonna be retiring there.
Thanks for this ❤
I'm going to keep it real, us natives are a different breed from NYers and Californians. They just don't get what our culture is all about and what we represent. Miami was paradise and it's people were nature loving. Humble people who loved and took care of their communities. We are and were a unique breed and you can't replicate that anymore. We can handle new people coming in, but it's just way too much and too fast. Then they come here and have this entitlement like they are the only thing that matters. They do not look after their fellow neighbor like we did.
That makes alot of sense
We’re in the minority. Only 33% of Floridians are native. When I was younger it was a bit more common to see other people with roots here. Now everyone is from New York, cali, and jersey. The culture is definitely changing in most of the state unless you’re in the panhandle.
Other than the weather, all of the negative issues have surfaced exponentially since DeSantis took office. Ugh
Those numbers aren't surprising, if you're a buyer and moving in, then there has to be a seller moving out. For the people who bought here for fomo reasons, it goes to show that letting your emotions make a decision instead of using your brain, probably isn't the best way to go.
i lived in Central Florida for over 20 years. It used to be well priced and nice to live. Too many people and I got priced out. It was crazy
Moved from West Palm to (Akron) Ohio in 2022. Missing Florida weather, politics, fun stuff, and taxes. Loving Ohio cost of living and traffic. Plan on moving back eventually. Move was 100% related to family members - nothing to do with weather, politics, or anything else.
I move to Florida in 2017 from NJ and built a brand new Waterfront Pool Home with a Dock and Boat Lift directly on the Intracoastal. The value has more than doubled but my taxes are only $7,300 because I'm Homesteaded. The House I sold in NJ only went up 50% in comparison and the property taxes are now $22,000. Yes I pay $6,500 yr for insurance vs $2,600 in NJ but I'm still ahead over $10,000 a year. Of course insurance is going up but it's mainly because of the hyper inflation that started in 2021. When home construction costs so does home insurance naturally. The same goes for auto insurance, What did people expect would happen with insurance with crazy inflation ?
1. Florida is an overdeveloped mess. There is no park near where I live--just stroads of boring and cheap strip malls.
2. No one keeps their word. People are rude.
3. Home Insurance is expensive.
4. Medical care ranks near the bottom of all 50 states.
5. DeSantis is a bully. He doesn't care about Floridians at all.
6. Traffic is a nightmare even in small towns.
7. Too many people moving here and they are the rude upstate people we don't need.
8. The weather is getting hotter and hotter.
9. Wages are a joke.
10. There is no culture. Unless you count overdevelopment as a cuture.
Beautiful comment! I 100% agree.
I could have told you that in the summer of 1980 when I went off to college. Never returned to Florida to live and have not returned to the state since 2002. I'm a 4th generation Floridian. I can somewhat remember a pre-Disney Florida. This is what happens with uncontrolled growth.
My cost of living savings will approach close to 30 percent in South Carolina. I can either live near the ocean in Charleston or close to the blue ridge mountains in the Greenville metro area. It's a good rational decision for me to move away from Florida's problems.
Built a house in Cape Coral 1979 - Never got hit hard (tree damage - Yes), never structural all these years, even last year with Ian. Sold the property last November not because of the fear of the weather, in a Tropical Climate _ Expect that. However the drop in property prices, the cost of or the cancellation of Insurance, rising Taxes, some of the New Folks Moving Here, Etc . . . . Paradise Lost.
I hope Floridaman still lives there because I love all those crazy stories about him. 😆
😂😂😂😂
The term Floridaman is a myth when about 40% of people in Florida were not born there. Crazies from all over go to Florida and do crazy things lol.
HE IS STILL HERE
I moved to South Central Florida(Highland County) from Fort Lauderdale. Surprisingly better weather. Still having 50F nights. Less humidity. Higher elevation with Rolling hills, which makes a nice change of scenery. Much lower cost of living. Met A LOT of us moving up here too. Palm Bay/Melbourne is another destination.
I definitely miss the lack of any hills in Fort Lauderdale. Mount Trashmore just doesn't cut it
Palm Bay/Melbourne are becoming urbanized just like Ft. Laud. at an extremely rapid pace, paved over! but infrastructure is lagging far behind, I know I live here! I moved from Broward (I'm a native, grew up there) to Brevard in 2002. I would advise people who want to move here, rent for a year or so before buying, if you can afford those rates now. There are ways to acclimate to the heat. Being totally prepared for hurricanes can give you a better chance to weather storms. I've been thru a lot of them from the 60s even.
Some of your comments, such as increased insurance costs, increase in prices of real estate, politics, etc is happening all over. It is not exclusive of Florida. If you live on a border state, their is a surge of illegal immigration which is putting a heavy strain on the freebies, free health care, free food stamps, free housing voucher’s, etc which the tax payers are footing the bills. It’s not sustainable and if these illegals don’t give back in taxes we are going to go broke as a nation. The left wants Socialism but I don’t think they really understand it. I tell people, go to Cuba if you want hand outs and don’t want to give back. Unless there is real change in Washington, a Civil War is not out of the question. If it turns out it’s a close election, it says to me, we are divided. I don’t think either side will compromise. Frankly, we are in deep debt, our representatives want to remain in power. Look at the real numbers, high food prices, high energy prices, crime all over, homelessness, etc. Just look at most college campuses. Is this what America really wants?

Awesome video, change the bell sound, it's too similar to the iPhone text received sound and it makes me check my phone every time you ring your bell. Your video is awesome, I'm sure you worked hard on it. Don't distract your audience with a text received sound effect. Half your audience is checking their phone and lost 68% of everything you said. Sound effects are great, it's not the effect its the specific tone and you know what I am talking about. Thanks for making an informative video, I hope to see more.
Im not moving to a state with 22 million people, no way 😮
I've been here 20 yrs.....no affordable housing in my area
This guy is absolutely right, retirees on fix income are leaving this Ft Myers Jungle and I mean in a crowded place.
I moved in 1989 and Ft Myers was the perfect place to raise a family, traffic was normal in the off season and it got a little crazy when the snowbirds came down for the season but as soon as the winter weather broke up North they started to flock North and things became to normal !
Now my house payments they went sky high after Ian and we never had a claim on house insurance but from $ 1200.00 yearly it went up to $5000.00
Just because the hurricane and flooding,
so we made a big decision, we are old and fix income and we’re out of here from wonderful Sunny high cost of living and insurances ( car insurance) good bye SWFla, thanks for the good times prior to the State disaster that people is living here this days.
Bye Felicia !!!!!😜😜😜😜
Florida has been destroyed by flippers and investors.
Wrong! It's cost of living, low stagnant wages, high taxes, outrageous insurance, crime, etc, etc
@@bballah9969 are you feeling ok?
I guess what I’m seeing in my area with my own eyes isn’t happening?
You’re saying when I see greedy flippers hoarding homes and then re-listing them for double and triple the price and some idiot investors buys it, that is the cost of living, high taxes and insurance destroying the state?
The things you mentioned are real. But the never seen before levels of speculation are the biggest problem.
@@shanerogers9386
I'm a flipper/investor been in the game twenty one years and flippers or investors don't cause property prices to double or triple in selling price, like you said speculation does and also inflation and the pandemic as well as supply and demand fueled this insanity that we're living in today unfortunately. The reality is prices are never going back to pre pandemic levels ever. To many people moving in from abroad and also many people moving to Florida from California, Vegas, Arizona, Ny, etc so the demand is there even though it's expensive to live in Florida for many reasons like you already know. If flippers or investors controlled the buying and selling prices in real estate we would of seen that decades ago. The reality is prices are determined by what the asking and selling prices are for property values not by investors lol
People come on vacation and then figure they will move Here and be on a constant vacation. Then, I realized it's work to make a living in Florida and not a fantasy vacation all the time. Their quality of life goes out the window
I lived there two different times. I had no issue with Florida politics. Ron DeSantis is the best governor in the country. In Tampa there is 6 mos. Of heat and 6mos of great weather. My issue is driving everywhere especially if you want to have a few cocktails. Thankfully I had no issues. The other reason I left last year is feeling lonely. Nothing ever felt like home. Just weird but there are many advantages in living there as well.
500,000 left and 800,000 moved in!
Yup! Net influx still in the positive
I decided to not move down there because the houses are becoming uninsurable so if I buy a house down there you won't be able to sell it to anyone in 10-20 years since no one will be able to get homeowners insurance and therefore can't get a mortgage.
I could see Mt. Trashmore from my condo
You have the only mountain view in South Florida!! 😂
I'm leaving Florida in 21 days.
I left Ft.Lauderdale two years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. I had a 2 bedroom 1 bath condo, I got it for $180k at that time the monthly fees were $600 which was really cheap. I left there mostly because everything was getting too expencive and the people were so rude it got to the point I wanted to slap the day lights out of them ( WHICH I NEVER DID ). I came home one night and my street had about a dozen or so police cars blocking it, I was asked by 5 or 6 different cops what was I doing here. I told them I live on this street and even had to prove it. I pulled into my parking spot the had my unit number on it, low and behold a cop was parked there. I told him to move the car since this is private property, he said he would write me a ticket if I didn't leave, I told him to kiss my azz and move the damn car now. Another cop told him to move it as well. Next morning I put my condo on the market, less than 3 weeks later it sold for over $550K. I now live in another state and with what I sold my condo for I bought a 3 bdrm 2 full bath more than twice the size of my condo. I still have money left over from that.

Have many family still there when we moved there in the 70s. Many left after college cause we learned FL is vacation & seasonal place. There is no industry there beside hotel restaurant cruise hospitality industry.
You can retire to FL. But they’re being pushed out. Can’t make a good living in Florida. Weather too unstable. I sold my homes & left. Kept one place. It’s Over priced in many places now. They pushin water front older people inland & rich are taking over ocean front. You Lucky to live on a lake. You can have it. I will visit during winter but I’ll take MI & our 4 seasons great fishing & great sports every day of week & twice on Sundays bang gor the buck & see FL Xmas to Spring. Our weather & fishing boating is unbeatable in the Great Lakes traverse city. Mackinaw island To Detroit sports.
im a real estate agent... they keep coming. im thinking about leaving. waaay too crowded stacking condos and cramming townhome developments in every last little bit of green left.
No where left to build but up
Those that want to leave.. .see you...we don't need you..🖐🖐
Good. Maybe prices will drop back to normal, aka what they were from 2017-2019
Those are the snow birds returning home!

Charge State Income Tax Florida and cut your Property taxes in half, charge realistic insurance premiums and give class action support for hurricane & flood coverage.
If you recently moved out of Florida, what was the reason?

Good video Don, I've lived in both FL & SC, everything you said I can relate to!
Everything's going skyrocketing in every state
Bottom line: Respect one another. Keep your politics to yourself and/or be respectful of different opinions. It’s ok to disagree.
People are not leaving south FL as a region. Growth has slowed... That is what the data shows.
A simple search for "US metro areas" on Google shows everything you need to know.
South FL is basically everything west of I-75 and east of I-95 because of the everglades.
More people typically means more problems.
Property is very expensive now (by FL standards) and it can be a pain in the butt with traffic.
Other than that, many still find south FL (Bradenton to Vero Beach and below) very appealing and continue to move there.
If you don’t like our politics, here in Florida, please either don’t move here, or leave our state.
Why ?
Some people can play about the heat. The humidity, the mosquitoes, the sharks, the alligators. What's the point of leaving Florida if people are sick and tired when it was too much heat down here and complaining about the traffic or whatever that's their decision. If they want leave but Flores, the best beach is ever compared to other states that has more crime than less.
BRUTAL HEAT…almost year round now..wasn’t like this years ago..like living on the Sun……Somebody stole the”Florida Winter”
Horrible place to live.
I completely disagree.....
Actually North Florida has a change in season which I enjoy. I’m actually an Independent but can understand why people are moving to Florida based on politics, see what’s happening to NY, California, Washington, Oregon, and the NE and upper Midwest States. I’ll take to risk of hurricanes and high property insurance over downtown squatters, insane zero bail policies, and just incompetent governments. Sure some are leaving, but a lot more are staying and moving into Florida. Born in Florida and here to stay.
Good Video. Nice Northeast accent 😉
Everyone is leaving every state?? Florida, California, New York, etc....
Yea, you shouldn't buy insurance.
Holy Sh💩t!!!
Wages suck in Miami.
People leaving Florida? I wish this was true but I see more traffic in miami every day
Surprised millions don't leave pathetic America every week.
You really don’t save that much per year in not having a state income tax unless you’re wealthy ! So I don’t see the attraction - it’s based on income in your area. Isn’t there a bunch retirees down there on a fixed income ? Which is why many are leaving - cost of living for sure !
Love your tatoos
Everyone seems to stay in for months because of humidity and heat -- uggh!!
Bro I think your list is upside down. Cost of living must be the first reason those people are leaving and the home insurance cost the main into that category
Living in Florida now April 2024😂 I don't see anyone leaving
Alot are still moving here at the same time alot are leaving. Not something we will really notice
What part of Florida. If its SWFL ,, You're not looking hard enough.
I live in SW FLORIDA and work at a Contract Post Office. People are leaving due to the hurricane and the cost of home insurance. On the other hand houses are being built everywhere.
People are moving here because of the politics!
@@vanru2176 yes I believe thats a huge reason the boom started back in mid 2020
The tourist have definitely changed. They are very entitled
They complain about the price
The heat and everything else. Go home if your not happy hear. Why would you move to a tropical island in the summer.
The insurance crisis is mostly due to inflation. The cost of lumber and other materials has doubled since 2021. And it’s not exclusive to Florida. It just doesn’t help Florida that a recent major hurricanes and insurance fraud overwhelmed the insurance market.
Im moving to Cuba no cuba is Miami
Crocodiles mosquitos tornados the moisture and overpriced Homes and violent people
The prices show people aren't leaving and politics are great in Florida. If protecting children is a problem then feel free to leave.
God can you imagine getting your kids taken away because one of their classmates decided to spread a rumor about one of them and school staff took it seriously? Sounds like a nightmare down there
Florida is 🗑️
@@skeletonbeats6483 You're pretty stupid aren't you.
Charles Drew Elementary school is down the street from Cheetahs Strip Club and Brow County Prison!
Old people think that all that heat keeps them better preserved.
Its just all out war against the Country, not necessarily a FL thing
Off topic from the video but #3 got me thinking. Why is talking about politics or religion off limits/taboo?
Also great video, love how real this guy is, doesn't feel like a typical salesman's real estate robot.
Lastly I'll mention, if Florida is having a tough time with new people, they should look at Canada. It's a complete mess with mass immigration.
Great news! People live on top of each other like sardines!
I am not leaving SF, I am taking the profit with me
Smart!
Bubble,insurance,property insurance,job losses..
Epic crash inbound!
All the Damn Yankees is why people are leaving. As the saying goes, if you’re in South Florida, you have to go north to find the South. Seriously, insurance costs are out of control. My house is paid for, but it costs me about $800 a month for wind and homeowners insurance. With property taxes, I’m approach $1000 a month to live in a house that’s paid off.
