There seems to be a wave of people migrating south. Will that continue long enough to fill TV? Probably. There is lots of development going up all over FL, so people with money to invest are betting so.

TV is an amazing example of SimCity being played in real life. The Morses seem to be able to play the game pretty well, creating an attractive environment people want to live in. I don’t begrudge them getting rich along the way. With the medical center it seems their focus is moving away from merely a retirement community. I think that’s good thing.
Heh most of the readers on this forum won't understand the reference to SimCity. I was in a group that successfully built a small town back in the late-1990's. And then everyone defected to Ultima Online. I ran into a few of them in Dwarf Fortress but I only got as far as digging a short turn in a tunnel before giving up from boredom.

Not much of a rogue-like player. I found my thrill in MUDs.
