    I've noticed that the grocery stores are kind of empty compared to other years and this is during the tourist season. Aldi was sparse yesterday and today and also Publix. Traffic used to be horrendous. The roads are still somewhat busy but not like 2022 and '23.

    I’d like to ask the Florida Tourist Commission.. “how in the hell does a normal human afford to vacation in the Keys?” Lol, damn., I thought we were ‘making America great again?’ Your average patriot 🇺🇸 can’t even afford their own country’s pleasures. Next time y’all vote with so much passion and spirit, ask them to ‘make America affordable again.’

    With HOA and insurance up, and income from tourists down, expect misery to rise.

      You sure they weren’t locals who recently moved from unaffordable South Florida? And also, you’re using 1 specific area when the topic is Florida as a whole. There’s always gonna be exceptions to the rule. Just like when it was a recession in the 80’s but Miami was flourishing 💵

    I have to sort of agree with you because I just got home from being in South Florida for a week and there seem like there were a fewer tourists this year . But holy cow, you have got to visit Belle Glade! ! I never knew that a urban type like ghetto could exist in a small town in the middle of Florida. The downtown there has a lot of boarded up buildings with graffiti and looked downright dangerous.

    Jose, I don’t know if you ever driven Highway 80 to Clewiston and then south on Highway 27 to Miami from Fort Myers. That’s my new favorite way to get to Miami. Much much less traffic and no toll roads!
