Florida is amongst the most desireable States to live in, so its attracting the top 1%'ers.

Hawaii's nice, but it's remote.

Cali's got high taxes, lots of homeless, & infrastructure issues, but it still remains attractive to the very wealthy.

NYC is in a downward spiral, & the top 1% are leaving there.

Florida's the "it" place for the elite right now.

I'd always read that the richest counties were those just outside of Washington DC

That’s fairly misleading. The suburbs of DC are generally two high income earners and not exotically wealthy like you’d find in Miami, NY and LA. It’s a pretty solidly upper middle class area without a lot of impoverished cities to lower each county’s average.

That is true, but this article takes it down to the neighborhood/hamlet/street level...Rodeo Drive, Flamingo Rd., Worth Avenue...much smaller areas than entire Counties.

Population increase without the necessary infrastructure to accommodate. They are building more high density apartment buildings near my neighborhood, replacing small apartment buildings. As a result there is constant construction tearing up streets to replace sewer, water and drainage pipes that are nearly a century old.

Changing weather patterns have more to do with geoengineering and weather modification, in addition to solar cycles.
