In reply to the discussion: 'Everyone is selling': Florida condo owners feel crush of rising insurance costs [View all]NickB79

Coastal Florida is already doomed, because we've locked in several FEET of sea level rise in the next 50 yr. And every foot of sea level adds 5-10 ft of storm surge in a hurricane.
Smart people would flee the coast now, before it's too late. In a decade, we'll see a coastal real estate crash that will make the housing crash of 2007 look like a blip.

Some people are still betting on bail outs as well particularly when they don't face the risk themselves.

Florida is so beautiful. I lived there for six years. It's a travesty happening now.

NO state tax, tourists pay for that perk. Also many benifits for retirees money wise.

Don't know if it's true but I heard that condo buildings must have enough money to do a 50 year project.
