First check who was meeting 3 years ago with the congressman when the growth and expansion crisis in florida was being discussed.

I find it odd that 3 years ago the legislature of florida were discussing with major corportations including biotech companys(scripps etc..) regarding the new growth in FLorida and how to combat the low percentage of under 40 workers to fill need for jobs and new familys to create stimulation in market and homes. Then suddenly tax, insurance rise drastically and above 50 start moving. Selling land and mobile home projects and heading to Carolinas, kentucky and Georgia. Last 5 months SC had over 4k residents register from florida over the age of 55. Hmmmm..Then the builders, developers and corporate company growth increased. PSL not ready for the growth, city not able to handle it's own balooning of it's own systems. Realtors freaked eveyone out and the NATIONAL news scared the public moving here with hurricane increase news. Being from Maryland and the north and stationed all over country when in army. And normal traveling meeting ppl all over i know this had enormous effect on buyers coming.

But......The 1000 people a day had already started coming..Builders were finishing lots of condos, rentals, and new homes. The old were already leaving and selling low. Since they bought 20 years ago. The market hit a brick wall with foreclosures, increased closing fees(see above), freaked out homeowners, and unorganized communties. Instead of holding fast everyone freaked out. This situation was maybe planned in my opinion...

In the end. There are still 1000 ppl a day coming to florida. The olderly have opened up new properties to new homeowners. New jobs created with new workers who can now afford homes(familys) The one who couldn't afford their houses who weren't comtributing to our economic growth have fled. More financially stable homeowners are buying houses. Less buying what you cannot afford therefore more money to spend on our economy. And it's an election year so soon certain politicians will greatly benefit by being the saviors of the market. Then, the market values will slightly rise. Propety and insurance taxes lowered. The economy gets boost. Noone will notice other costs increasing. Builders will build cheaper and better homeowner financial friendly homes. AND NOW we have ourselves a smart, financially stable, and thankful voter......just a rambling of a possible scenerio...
