ALF Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Florida Democrats sense opportunity against DeSantis over soaring housing costs Up and down the ballot, Democratic candidates have shifted their campaigns to focus on the soaring housing costs that are eating into the savings of retirees and workers and leaving poorer Floridians with fewer places to go. While inflation has put President Joe Biden's party on defense in most of the country, Florida Democrats are on offense, drawing attention to historic rent hikes and blaming more than two decades of state Republican leadership. When DeSantis took office in 2019, Florida had the highest rate of cost-burdened households in the country, meaning they spent more than 30% of their income on housing expenses, according to a report by the online marketplace Apartment List. The Miami metropolitan area, where the median rent for a one-bedroom unit is now about $2,600 a month, saw the highest year-over-year overall rent increases in the country, according to a recent report by the real estate website Realtor.com surveying the 50 largest metro areas in the US. The Orlando and Tampa markets ranked second and third on the list, and Jacksonville also cracked the top 10. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/31/politics/florida-affordable-housing-ron-desantis-democrats/index.html Maybe if they eliminate state income tax they could afford rent , oh wait no state income tax in Florida. Florida should not have locked down during covid , oh wait did not. Edited May 31, 2022 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a reason to defeat incumbents not one in the country should be standing come the next elections. Good idea Dems! 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the two the panhandle wins easily in my opinion. Here here…Pensacola to Destin/Fort Waltok to Panama City very affordable and super nice.

For home owners or sellers it could be positive so they need to carefully craft the message and present in a way that makes it seem isolated to Florida based on policy.

We really considered FL for our retirement. We are ok with the tropical heat/humidity. We lived in Miami for a bit 40 years ago before we got married. Travel to the Caribbean, or favorite part of the world, would be so much easier. No income tax and a more Conservative government. But the one thing that had us choose CA are the bugs. Can't stand mosquitos or roaches and as you know CA is pretty free of bugs. I see those screened in pools and I just hate that look. Oh BTW you had me worried for a bit there. I know you post early but this was a record for you. Thought you were still in CA. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks…I’m definitely not a fan of the humidity but the infrastructure in Florida makes California look like a third world country. Hoping to have a dodged a bullet with the tropical storm. Flying out in the morning. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
