My Way News - Fla. population drops for 1st time since 1946

My Way News - Fla. population drops for 1st time since 1946: "The head of the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research says Monday that the state's total population dropped by 58,000 in the past year. It's the first decline since large numbers of military personnel left the state in 1946 after World War II."

I suppose a libertarian could say that they are voting with their feet and refusing to live in condos and hoas...they wouldn't say such a thing, of course, but they could.

As a Floridian, I kinda hope all these people come back on vacation and pay all the tourist taxes. :)

It's the Katrina effect. Mother Nature is reclaiming these coastal regions with bigger and badder windstorms. Insurers have taken note and as coverage gets harder to obtain, these areas will become economically unviable and ultimately not suitable for permanent habitation.
