Florida is WAY too crowded for 9 months out of the year. Just look at the many traffic red lights on either coast and many central areas like The Villages......for 9 months people sit through red lights in a line of 10 to 20 cars. This causes pollution and the price of gasoline to go up. We need FEWER tourists, not more. So, my opinion is to make the tourist tax as high as possible to discourage the obvious OVERCROWDING.
