Correctamundo! I know from Spring Breakers. These are NOT Spring Breakers.

The figure is definitely NOT accurate. DeSantis/Trump, remember?

We had 9 month leases on houses that were used for summer rentals. They charged us per month what the tourists paid per week in the summer. The places were designed to pack big families in for a short time in good weather. We had a bunch of folks packed in and it was okay until it rained or got chilly as heating was negligible and there were often leaks. On the plus side, we were on the boardwalk one year and on the sand another in Newport Beach. I think the most I paid for my corner in the various hovels was about $250/mo

I'm sure AirBnB and VRBO have made that obsolete.

I live here, and assure you it is not accurate. Remember DeathSantis fired the data-scientist for not fudging the numbers for him?

The west coast on the gulf, is very nice and south of St Pete not as overpopulated.

We seem to have finally gotten enough vaccines here that he cannot hoard them for all his donors like he he has been doing. I got a call from the health dept today for my 75 year old husband to get vaxxed, and was able to get both of us appt at our local Publix because they just dropped the age requirement to over 50.

We voted for the other guy but the fox-guzzlers are legion here.

Our gov, actually jailed the data scientist for attempting to keep putting out the real numbers, as you know.

They are mostly t****er's, and very stupid people, but I repeat myself.

Those of us that live here, and are sane, have not been anywhere for over a year.

We have an extremely high asshole quotient, between the bad local fauna "Florida Man", and the fox-guzzling retirees. One can mostly avoid them except for medical appointments.

My husbands eye surgeon, an educated man, said Death-Santis was doing fine, and California was much worse numbers wise. I was afraid my spouse was going to choke him.

The nation has now heard from another loon on the topic of Floirida and DeSantis.

Wayne Allyn Root, conspiracy theory promoter, whose malevolent, maniac grin is a strong argument for demonic possession being a real thing, had this to say.

..................................................................................................

"Florida is Exhibit A. Everyone needs to know the Florida story.

"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis should be “America’s Hero Governor.” He stood strong in the face of massive pressure to close the state, close the economy, lockdown the people, order mask mandates. He refused. He kept Florida open for business.

"Now look at the amazing results. Florida’s economy is booming, people are happy, the quality of life is high, and very few are sick. It worked!"

...................................................................................................

Root could play Randall Flagg in THE STAND without even acting.
