Reply to comment by LevophedLolita in For those of you that want that Island life. My coworker brought this into work today. by MavDrake

Good God really??! 😳 Are you on the beach? Water views? I thought everywhere in the South had much cheaper COL than here. I figured what'd kill FL is not being able to insure properties

No I live 15/20 minutes from the beach. But wages here are some of the lowest in the country. Everything is so expensive down here now, like food, utilities and car insurance. My dad just came down from RI and was shocked by the price of food here.

FL prices have gone up lot in desirable areas. And desirability is no longer dictated solely on proximity to the beach. Miami is a great example of this (Miami is much or than south beach or even brickell, but the entire geographic region is much much more expensive than it was circa 2012)
