I didn’t see you interview a single Floridian…being born and raised in Winter Haven, Fl. I’ve seen the population explode and nature destroyed, clogged highways, stupid neighborhoods for snowbirds that only get used half the year, we don’t like to share because transplants don’t appreciate what makes Florida unique…swamps drained, orange grooves no longer standing….it sucks just to make more houses for more transplants…..have you seen what people do to Panama City, Destin, or Daytona Beach during spring break….perfect example of why there’s resentment toward people who don’t live here…trash it, rinse, repeat……there’s a love for the state if you’re from here that one can’t explain, transplants will never understand that…you’re interviews seem one sided also….next time maybe get some Floridians over 50 like myself who’ve seen all the changes…bet you don’t get the same answers….

I’m torn on this as someone born and raised in FL. The more demand for housing increases our equity but then on the flip side I’m seeing some friends and family unable to find affordable housing. As the population increases, more businesses move in which increases jobs and fun things to do. That also increases the traffic and crowds schools as it’s growing faster than the infrastructure can keep up. Bottom line is that it depends on the lifestyle you want and what you can afford. If you want a rural, lower cost of living area you’ll have to move further inland or out of State. Nothing stays the same forever and change comes with growing pains.

The lady from Huntersville, just north of Charlotte, is absolutely right. I'm from Cornelius, which is the next town up, and you have to wait through a couple of light cycles just to get through some intersections up here, and the interstate is nearly stopped during rush hour. The up and coming areas around Orlando just need to plan their infrastructure proactively and then it shouldn't be a huge issue when more people move down.

Florida is not what it use to be anymore. Yes lots of people are moving in each year and they think it's great but Ive been a Floridian all my life and I miss the Florida from before, the one with barely any traffic, nature in abundance, no crowds, theme parks that were almost empty in low peak seasons, the parks were more enjoyable for locals, friendlier people, way less crime, better education because teachers weren't so overwhelmed with school crowds, less pollution. The knocking down of nature to build more apartments, more hotels more theme parks. Yes it brings jobs and tourism which it always had when it was peak season and then everyone went back to their homes and the state was for the locals again. Now we locals don't have anything left for us because we have to adapt like if we were tourists pay tourists prices and everything has gone up for us as well.

You can’t tell others to stop coming to Florida. What if the native Americans told the settlers to stop coming to America. Where would we all be now? Now, the real question is who is a 100% Floridian? Everyone in Florida is a transplant from some where else. We love Florida. The property tax is great. The weather is perfect except the rainy summers. I wished someone told me that the sunshine state was wet in the summer. Orlando need more reliable public transportation to help with the traffic. The sunrail is great and also the bright line is okay. But we need a rail line that goes across the state east to west. The one thing that we hated about being a resident in celebration was the holiday time traffic is horrible. Halloween and Christmas time are a nightmare for us. The traffic getting home took longer than normal. Cause all the visitors are here.
