Florida Dictaitorship state.. infringes on Freedom of Speech!!

I like it in WPB. I would like to see WPB take notes from Downtown St. Petersburg, they really built they're city well.

Hey folks keep in mind I'm a Realtor, I'm not a lawyer or a condo law expert and this channel is for entertainment purposes as well as educational but I never claimed to be an expert on all of these new condo laws. So if there's ever a question about something I said or you know of something that maybe I missed feel free to share it with me.

I'm glad I didn't have children... The world we live in is a joke and some of these laws catering to people fragile existences seems ridiculous. I'm from FL. But will NEVER go back lol

If they're talking about getting rid of black history they already they already did in Florida the Western European doesn't want the truth be told black history is a part of American history and realize that Africa was on this planet first before anything else Africa is the foundation of everything on this planet.

In my years of working with the idea of reaching my sir years and move to Florida for winter and stay home in the summer but now the idea is no longer a wish list. Now only a pipe dream, of a far away dream. I can’t afford it now. so I am among the millions of sirs who are stuck in the year round cold wealthier or steamy summers.

As far as the gun wall goals, I think everybody should have to pass a background check. I’m all for owning a gun legally coming from a family of Leo. Who’s been around guns his whole life I don’t think you should eat a permit to have a shotgun in your house, as long as you are not a convicted felon

Prices are like California

Florida is outrages with their laws .. form gender, identity, restrooms. Look you do you I do me what’s your name I respect your name. As far the the bathroom goes you go and do you business and go about your day but their should be a law you must wash your hands when leaving the bathroom..

Greed and deregulation caused this. 😡

I lived in a Houston condo for 35 years, and there never was an assessment. Whatever was done, roofing, gutters, whatever, came out of the monthly fee. The monthly HOA fee and an assessment at any time of thousands, if not 10s of thousands, that's nuts.

I was living in the Cricket Club as a renter when that assessment happened. What youre missing here i that the HOA was $3200 a month for a 2 bedroom. Now, where it gets shady is that the board was made up of 80+ year olds who were living there for 40+ years, units paid off, had neglected the fixes for years, and they waited for a new batch of people to buy in at less than $200k per unit. Then they did the assessment but it wasn't just to fix necessary legal repairs. They folded into that assessment upgrades to the tennis court and other recreational features - and then we got a letter taped to our door that accused the board of folding the new expenses into the assessment so it wouldn't require a vote. There was a lot of shady stuff happening. When we moved out in July, there were re agents there every day meeting owners who were trying to get out.

Cool area. $400k-$600k is a lot but, man! That ocean a couple blocks away. The sound. The sand. The Vibe!

I don’t feel sorry for them. Some bought 30 years ago really cheap and watched their property soar in value. They put zero into maintenance. Look at all the money they saved. Now they have to pay for maintenance.

The solution is build these condo's with large Lego blocks made of hemp Crete. They'd rather save 20% on cheap materials and build crap in the salty air.

Maybe talk to Ron DeSantis, and then moved to New York

I agree with all these laws whether you like it or not we're going back to the foundation of this country this country was found on the biblical laws of the Bible everything you said I agree with those laws and about the gun laws hey if you're a criminal they still have guns they're not going to obey by the law anyways so what's the difference

Come to Florida! We have collapsible condos for sale. Save on burial cost. Get a Florida Condo, your all in one home and burial site!!

What about if we fix things in the condos with assessments when’s there are due and not pay millions in full reserves in advance which is destroying our lives and not being able to sell.

Per the new Florida law, all three-story-plus condo buildings and at least 30 years old must undergo a mandatory engineering assessment before Dec. 31, 2024. Condo associations must also shore up repair funding reserves. This law was introduced after the Surfside tragedy in 2021, in which 98 lives were lost when a 12-story condo collapsed. While few condo owners would argue against the need to make their buildings structurally sound, many at Surfside Club South are at a loss as to where they’ll find the money to fulfill these new obligations.

Thank you Ron for making Florida great again! Now if only you could make it affordable again

Beginning 2025 if you smile in the streets of Florida you going to get arrested

Good. Find a different location

The Bible Has No Opinions and does not care About our opinions.

The ocean always wins especially salt water

Florida is a state which receives funding from tourism. these laws could have a affect on people traveling to Florida. this might have a financial impact to Florida. as a result of public opinion.

Come on, these people were neglecting their HOA by not providing reserves for the upkeep.

Freedom of speech means YOU get to choose what pronouns you use, not the person you are talking to. Freedom of speech overrides all butt-hurt feelings. Bathrooms - even the Romans had separate facilities for men and women. DEI is reverse discrimination against whites. Smartest thing they could do is require firearms training in public schools. Use the training guns (non firing, rubber, colored). Most importantly is when NOT to shoot. LEO's do not NEED to know who is 'allowed' to carry and who does not. NONE of their business.

If I have a sick stomach I will use whatever bathroom is available especially if the bathroom I suppose to use has a long line. I will avoid doing physiological needs in front of everyone just because I had to wait for the bathroom assigned to my gender. People should use whatever bathroom is available. Too many nonsense laws. I use peoples names instead of pronouns. I ask for people's names including children so I address them by their name. I use neutral language as much as possible.

Sorry to say but that bill does not exclude it keeps the perverts out of schools not every gay man and woman once all this crap taught to the kids when you're 18 years old you can tell if you're gay or not if that's the way you want to live but it should not be caught in school if these teachers don't like it let him stay wherever they want to do because they're both teachers and they don't know what they're not doing THERE JOBS teacher should be teaching Reading writing and arithmetic because these kids do not know what they're doing today and being as a gay person I do not want to hear and being teaching these kids just woke stuff I'm glad the law is going into effect

Hmmmmm , sounds like the left has run out of luck . Right is speaking up and being heard ...

Republicans are for smaller government. How are we placing 200 new laws and say smaller government. DeSantis has made a mess of colleges and universities' boards. He leaves in 2026 without chance of being reelected. He does what HE wants without regard with what the voters want.

Thank you

When you 'own' a condominium, you own NOTHING! The Developer OWNS YOU!!

I remember in the 5th grade a girl freaking out in the middle of class because she was bleeding and didn’t know why. Sixth grade doesn’t make sense to start teaching.

These laws are ridiculous. The correct response is to get the nutjob teachers out of schools. Both parties fuel our fascist regime with these kinds of laws. Americans just don’t get it 🤷🏾‍♂️. I hope Trump holds true on his promise to drain the swamp.

They forgot to banned nude and semi nude beaches 🤔

What you mean Florida government didn’t make it illegal for doctors to treat their patients by censoring their freedom of speech like Texas did

The worst thing about this crap 💩 is these politicians are only doing this nonsense for votes and attention for themselves so much for Republicans against big government getting in others business

I would like to know how these states like Florida and Texas keep breaking and ignoring the Federal laws and getting away with it Geez

It’s a shame teachers don’t fight back against this nonsense with walk outs but sense it doesn’t have anything to do with making more money they will just ignore it 🙄

Why isn't this simple??? The owners of the building itself should be responsible for that upkeep. Period. It's part of being the LANDowner, not the apartment dweller. How have the buyers been allowed to be so ridiculously B effed?? I'm sorry, but I'm outraged!

Why would you BUY something when you don't own the land it sits on?? Short-sighted.

Good, you don't like our laws. Get out, we are full.

It's not only that it's those special assessments that seem to come around alot.

Those laws should be made national

I have lived here since 1993. I am leaving. My homeowners insurance is 6000 a year for a three bedroom and two bath. Car insurance is 2300 a year for two cars. Hate the traffic. Want to speak English again (I am fluent in Spanish out of necessity). Retired military andat the VA, I have to wait three months for an appointment. Civilian doctor appointments are even worse. I am 67 years old and I have had enough. Goodbye Sunshine State. Massachusetts here I come.

Seems to me that this is a major disaster & the State of Florida isn’t even attempting to work & help these condo owners. Easy to issue orders & not offer any monetary help. On top of that, probably most are seniors.
