Floridian here – We require unchecked growth and tourism to fund basic services.

My county is having a huge fight with property developers because they keep adding to the population but the increase is impacting existing infrastructure and causing a deficit, which will require either higher property or sales taxes to make up the shortfalls or more growth that kicks the budget issues down the road.

Also, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. There’s a reason why the state is known for terrible schools and zero social safety programs.
