So I was approached by someone trying to get me to sign the Florida Hometown Democracy constitutional amendment. Essentially it's anti-growth and would make planners in charge of regulating land but the voters in charge of authorizing changes once written. The problem arises when the planners realized their epic fuck-ups but cannot change the zoning without a vote from the people. The end result is nothing will be built in the state. In my opinion, this will crash the Florida economy as the state is built on economic growth. This along with a idiotic tax and spend budget from a the so-called "Republicans" in the state legislature tells me it's time to leave the state. Texas anyone?
Nothing good comes from Texas. Florida has 2 flaws (one is very serious the other is just serious) 1)Humidity 2)Republican control.
Texas 1) LOW taxes 2) LOW cost of living 3) LOW government interference in people's lives 4) HIGH amount of fun in Austin and San Antonio.
Texas: 1)Gave us W 2)Gave us W 3)Gave us W .... 100)Gave us W 101)Borders Mexico 102)People wear crazy stupid cowboy hats and boots all the time Did I mention Texas gave us W?
My understanding is that property taxes are sky high in texas. As for Florida, the problem is not republicans but fake republicans like the current governor. The state has some major problems, like a real estate crash, insurance and water issues and budget problems.
