The baby boomers are all over 65 now so new seniors will be fewer in years to come. Many seniors are still housing their GenXers because young folks cannot afford to buy their own home. Recent damage from unexpected &unprecedented flooding in Sarasota, to hurricane damage in Fort Myers & storm cleanup continuing in the panhandle have caused reasonable folks to push pause along with the stale national economy & high interest rates. Life in the bubble is still attractive but advocating for sticking your head in the sand is not helpful.
I have written plenty of negative posts about Florida and questioning WHY there is such growth of population. IN this post I just wanted to STATE that Florida population was increasing. Just THAT FACT. I did NOT say whether I liked it or thought it is appropriate. which I do NOT. I have written posts where I suggest moving to North Carolina instead of Florida.
