You think the villages is the only place that things have gone up during the last few years. We had a recession in 2022 when everything went up and have stayed higher. Compare our tax bills vs some of the states in the north and west, we pay very little compared to these states. You think insurance rates haven’t gone up elsewhere? I saw on tv that a couple in a smaller apartment in San Diego was paying $2000 for electricity!!! Let’s compare states that tax income (Florida doesn’t), how much are you saving? Gas is cheaper here than in the west, northeast.
The only thing that I don’t get here in Florida is the roof replacement cr@p after 10 years, I have never ran into this in other states. Shingles can last 2x or more than this, and from what I hear, they replace the plywood too. This part is nuts!
