Where does one get such information, or are you on the committee that counts those who are fleeing.
Or the committee who feels many who have experienced tornadoes in other states need to fear Florida tornadoes because that cause more destruction  |
I stand by my opinions. I think that Florida will disappoint a lot of people after they have been here for awhile and spent summers here. i can imagine many bought homes here and have NEVER been bitten by a fire ant. That is an interesting, NEW experience for them! And then when the wife in the family goes to start her car in her garage and steps on a snake (maybe poisonous). That's an experience that most people living in Florida for ten years have had. And walking their dog near a lake and meeting Florida's famous mascot - the GATOR.......won't that be a nice 1st time thrill?
......And the sink holes in the streets are getting bigger as the air is hotter and holds more water vapor - and thus more rain (like TODAY). Also more traffic on 441 and other highways as the Florida population increases. And the insurance increases.
......And I won't even mention that in 5 to 10 years people in Miami and both coasts will be relocating northward due to ocean rise and MORE insurance cost increases.
..........I hope that people see that ALL Florida problems (of which the inadvertent polluting of lakes and the Gulf with plastic grocery bags and styrafoam) is just ONE of many caused by too much population pressure. And the mistaken idea that MORE is better. It is NOT the MORE of everything that should be SOUGHT, but rather that point of MAXIMUM PROSPERITY and happiness for the average person.
