Newsweek's Reddit account posts article on r/florida about Redditor's favorite topic: People “fleeing” Florida :marseyeyeroll:

  • The post title was noticeably different than the article it linked

  • The article itself was misleading as Florida had a net 250k population gain in 2022 (which is stated in the article).

The drop in rent comes at a time when the state is seeing some of its residents move out, even as it is still experiencing a net increase of people moving there. About 500,000 people left the state in 2022 while nearly 750,000 moved in, according to data from the Florida Chamber of Commerce. For 2024, they are forecasting between 225,000-275,000 new residents to move into the state.

It's so tiresome.

Developers swooped in and took advantage of the number of people moving here and started building without planning resulting in a travesty for the environment, commuters, and the character of the state. Quality of life here is dropping even as Florida has one of the highest rates of inflation in the country.

>The rent is too darn high, we need affordable housing!

>No, not like that!

Libs are strange creatures

For now there is still net migration, but it's the end of spring, so that's not surprising. We'll see what happens over the next year or so. House prices are dropping in the Tampa area, have been in Miami for a while. And then if there's a hurricane, fair weather Floridians will leave in droves.

I'm a native who has seen all of this before 2x over, but this time I'm leaving.

I wonder if the r-slurs who upvoted this realize that this is the definition of NIMBY and that their rents would have skyrocketed even higher if this r-slur was charge.

The sub consists of various irony posters: "dirtbag leftists" (stupidpol), third-positionists (consumeproduct), and of course deuxrama whose posters are on an indeterminate number of levels of irony.
