Few states had a bigger population boom than Florida during the Covid pandemic. But now, many who moved there have decided that Florida is not for them, citing high inflation and the state’s politics, among other things. NBC News’ Shannon Pettypiece reports.

#Florida #RealEstate #Pandemic
😂😂😂 floriduh ediot
This feels like a reach. The news seems to be buttering up the story.
If they are Woke liberal Demo-Rats, please leave asap!
WELCOME TO FLORIDA-SANTIS:
Come for the death of “woke,”
and leave when you end up broke.
“It has political problems…” BETA!
Dang, that sux! I had great hopes and dreams
What is so “beautiful” about a hole with water in it that you clearly couldn’t swim in, surrounded by one sad looking tree? And yet those places are all over Florida and some people look at that and see “beautiful.” I will never understand.
You guys have no idea what is like to live in Canada, Toronto.
Sunshine but also LOTS of rain
Funny how the Yankees all came here, destroyed everything, and are now leaving.
Florida has its’ pluses for sure. So many moved here during “covid” to get away from their
draconian Governors and policies. But, Florida insurance rates are crazy. When I moved
here in 2021, my car insurance rate increased 60% when I had a clean driving record in
another state, homeowners insurance has skyrocketed, builders are destroying the state
with new devvelopments spurring new shopping centers and gas stations, right wind politics
is awful, Hot humid summers, bugs…I have “enjoyed” it but am happy to relocate before the end of the year. I have seen more houses for sale here in the past few months than in three years I have
been here. Yet, everyone I know here will stay.
NBC is intentionally deceiving viewers. Inflation is not caused by rising prices. Inflation, which is caused by the Federal Reserve printing money faster the goods and serviced can be produced and provided. This results in higher prices as the flood of paper currency becomes worth less and less. Money that is becoming worth less and less requires more and more of it to buy anything. NBC needs to make the effort to learn the truth, and then share the truth with the people.
Living in Florida and vacationing in Florida are two completely different experiences. I lived in Orlando from 2005-2022 and moved up to Pittsburgh. Best decision I ever made. It’s way cheaper up here and the people are nicer. And the winters aren’t that bad. You get used to the cold.
Atlanta here, feel free to keep moving north Hooknose “Yankee” merchants, you arent wanted here either
I have lived there, I would never want to go back. I can only hope that they come to their senses, if they have any!
Thank you for leaving. We are way too crowded as it is now. Bye.
All democrats leave. Please and thank you. You’re not welcome here.
Evil Florida is going home to Father Poseidon. No blue state money to bail the creepos out.
Same increases Texas has had. Many move to TX from failed blue states. Many people on FL love it. They won’t miss ya. The people moving there have driven up costs. Supply and demand, same here in TX
Good thing about America it has 50 different states.
Ex New Yorker turned Floridian 1978 and now Fl too crowded and too over priced.
Could we all just agree all MAGA bobbleheads can move there….please.
It’s democratic NBC News – very slanted 😂😂😂😂
Jobs are trash also
Nothing whatsoever wrong with liberals leaving…. makes it a better state to live. Lefties destroy societies.
100% true. Good riddance to bad garbage.
Politics 🤡 politics 🤡….yeah, we’re struggling because of politics
Too many any people trying to live there.
A hit piece on Florida from NBC “news.” What else is new?
Brian Robert’s Comcast/NBC leftist propaganda has reached embarrassing depths. It’s scary that anybody continues to watch this nonsense and take it seriously.
sink holes….
Reverse migration, happening everywhere
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence
A moderate conservative from MA? He didn’t know the politics before moving?
De Santis 👍🇺🇸
OK, bye, go back to your blue state.
Pleas, blue states continue to be the worst states with population declines
what a crock…….it’s because it is crazy expensive now.
retirees have always been conservatives, but they aren’t built of crazy cash.
nice try at faking the reasons NBC. the US is a bust.
Florida is a state that is moving backwards in terms of social issues and politics. The GOP has taught people intolerance after so many decades of trying to find common ground and acceptance. It is and will backfire. They want to turn the clock back. It simply never works. You can’t give women rights for the past 50 years and then one day, old white men decide that they’re going to take those rights away. The religious right pushed for it, but if you really think about it, it’s just doomed from the start. You can’t take away people’s freedom of choice. It’s divisive. It’s not what the majority of people want. Once they weed out all the people and groups they deem “undesirable”, they will turn on themselves, because that’s what causing division does. It creates a need to hate and the need to hate must be fed.
Come to NYC you idiots
Liberals need to get the heck out of this state. Good riddance to bad garbage.
I saw this coming 😂😂😂😂😂
You should’ve did your research before you moved🤷♂️🤡🌎🥳
Be sure to reelect Ron de Satan. I’m sure HE is glad those “WOKE” libs are leaving. See? It all works out.
Womp womp, you got 49 other choices if you don’t like it
So glad all the nuts are moving out of Florida. They don’t need to be cluttering up such a wonderful State. Keep it clean for conservatives.
Great for vacation but that’s about it
Floriduh is the armpit of America
Paradise always has a price. But Florida will hardly miss a few liberals. Go ahead and move out they don’t need or want you that’s a guarantee. And dude was never a conservative so that’s a lie. I’m sure he’ll be happy in NYC or LA.
This is nothing but a hit piece on Florida
Not a real news story
Everybody’s moving to Texas snd Florida they must be awful places
Everybody’s leaving California and New York
Nice try…biased news…people LOVE FLORIDA
Love that we moved to FL in 2021.
Lol cost sky rocketing??? Who’s fault is that?
I have first thoughts about Floriduh. I’d sooner live in Antarctica than DeSantisStan
It’s not safe if you’re female or black and you can’t get home insurance and inflation is highest in the country. It’s run by a fascist.
Ahhhhhh poor baby, can’t stand the politics. Move to San Francisco then. I’m sure you’ll LOVE it there.
Interesting.
They should move to New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, or San Francisco. Why did they move to Florida?
Florida DON’T WANT people like these who’ll be voting blue. GET OUT.
Will you do a segment on SC so all the democrats will stop moving here! Please!!
Let’s focus on fixing the man made problems in states that ACTUALLY have nice weather, nice topography, beautiful landscapes and great career opportunities instead of starting over in flyover states.
It’s not too crowded in the Panhandle.
South Florida is dystopian. Mile after mile of sameness. Flat sameness. No terrain features to orient yourself. Each mile looks like the mile you just left behind. It is mind-numbing. You couldn’t pay me to live there.
When they run out of policy ideas they will always default to culture wars.
Floridians have a “3rd world country” mentality within the US. Greedy and corrupt. Avoid Florida.
LEAVE, No one is forcing you to stay anymore than they forced you to come.
Rightfully so…
Is this propaganda
florida is like living inside your own mouth
Don’t move to Florida !
So a liberal leaves NY/CA bc liberaldestroyed a state, mobes to FL and is mad it’s not liberal?
Total BS …more fake news
Nah Florida is the best! Best people govonor and geographic locations
Funny how much of a propaganda joke NBC news is at this point. More people watch a test pattern than watch NBC news anymore. Haha
lol, DeSantis, “policies attracted folks.” Ridiculous – people wanted to avoid tax. Policies are disgusting.
Whaaaat? You leave ca, you’ll never afford to come back. You actually moved away form the 6th richest country in the world.
An NBC hit piece. Why can’t you guys just play it straight?
Kind of just skimmed the surface.
Can’t get insurance and as much a DeSantis hates the Feds, he and Abbot are in a climate pickle. Losers
Florida will be hit harder by climate change every year. Heat waves, coastal flooding, hurricanes, crop damage, environmental degridation such as coral reef damage. Insurance costs will multiply. Also insurance fraud, higher insurance and higher property taxes to pay for climate change/global warming damage and adaptation.
Biggest problem we have seen since moving is that there is no way to make money down here. Even with a trade or profession the wages are low ball. Cost of food is higher than up north, its not cheap to live in Florida.
go home dem
i can tell he is a dem cause only a dem trying to sell a house would go on tv and tell you why not to buy his house lol
Insurance is crazy in FLorida!!!
Just like a lot of Folks out here.
This guy is NOT ” moderate conservative “
This is my last summer here. Been three years and my quality of life has decreased. People the politics the heat the bugs the absolutely horrible healthcare system- it’s just not worth it for a nice beach- which frankly at a 14 UV index on a 107 degree day- is not worth it to even go. I’ll miss Daytona Beach. She’s been good to me. But it’s lonely and people ARE different down here. They just don’t care about a lot of things they should.
hahahaha womp womp.
Please move back to your Blue States and continue to vote for the politicians that ruined your state. Same with folks moving to Texas
Newsflash… no one wanted you to move there in the first place!!
They are scamming people.
👏🏼 Please do more stories like this. We would like our Florida back. We welcome people leaving due to politics that they don’t agree with. Be glad you have a free country to do that.
Florida is better than California
Literally the ONLY thing FLA. is good at, regardless of politics, is Looking good in pictures and on video. That you can get on your computer you don’t need to move there for that. The weather is actually so hot and humid that it will force you indoors. The climate issues are only getting worse.
Glad they are leaving Florida
Love and support my Governor
Fools. No way I would live like that on that big flat sandbar.
Cannot go back to nyc or Florida to expensive
It’s FLORIDA. Hellooooo
Well thats great!!! Send them on their way!!!
The truth is more likely, i didn’t want to be locked down by lunatics, but thats over now, and i wanna go home!!!🤣🤣🤣
I want all the people leaving California to stay gone away. We need less traffic. Florida can keep em.
Politics?
That’s why I like Florida.
Don’t move to a conservative state if you are a a liberal. They don’t want you.
