    I actually went and read up on what is going on in Florida with this and yeah, it’s a combination of a lot of things from state mandates, scamming contractors, Florida being a bullseye for climate change events, etc.

    Tough stuff. I know two people who tried to move to Florida and were like nope.

    A 78-year old Florida man has been charged with murder after he allegedly shot and killed a neighbor who was trimming trees along their property line, police said.

    Brian Ford, 42, was trimming trees along a fence in DeLeon Springs, 45 miles north of Orlando, shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday when his neighbor, Edward Druzolowski, "confronted him about being on his property," police said.

    Speaking to police, Druzolowski said that, "He threatened to shoot Ford and, when Ford didn't leave, he shot him."

    So when is DeSantis and his crony GOP Legislature going to do something about fixing the home insurance crisis in Florida?

    We left Florida because our homeowners insurance ballooned to $12,000. We walked away from everything we knew so our kids could have a future.

    Let's see how DeSantis' legislative allies behave... GOP is OK with this "flirty or grooming type of behavior."

    'Flirty' GOP state senator banned from domestic violence shelter: report
    https://www.rawstory.com/flirty-gop-senator-banned-from-domestic-violence/

    Florida, once considered the textbook example of a swing state, has become increasingly Republican in recent years — from federal elections to the state legislature.

    In 2023, the Florida State Senate is dominated by Republicans, one of whom is Sen. Tom A. Wright. The GOP lawmaker is no stranger to controversy, including being banned from a women's shelter, the Beacon Center, for allegedly flirting with domestic violence survivors.

    The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that former Beacon Center CEO Angie Pye alleged that she "put a stop to (Wright) coming on the property" because of his "flirty or grooming type of behavior." Pye told the News-Journal, "He got really angry."

    According to the News-Journal, "That propensity for anger was on full display on September 2, when Wright got into a videotaped confrontation with the shelter's interim CEO and was given a trespass warning from Daytona Beach police barring him from the Beacon Center. Pye, who resigned as CEO on August 31, and others say Wright has made allegations about human trafficking, prostitution and drug use going on at the Center."

    The publication adds that "during a (Florida) State Senate committee hearing," Wright "accused Pye's husband of having a conflict of interest regarding the shelter. All of those claims were false, they said."
