might as well complaining why everything is expensive and stop pick and choose. like mc donald 1$ sandwiches are now 4$, home depot woods are too expensive, gas is expensive, food expensive. address the needs that are expensive. all the building materials are10x higher and labor is at least 1.5x higher so that all transfer to houses cost and plus demands and profits. insurance is a want not need. and how exactly the government going to force people on how much they should charge on their properties while the government themselves is jacking up property taxes and permit fees, limit homestead exemptions etc. they're in the housing market as much or more as anyone eles

DeSantis should implement a 10% tax rate for people whose full-time job isn’t within the state of Florida or remote workers working within Florida that isn’t a Florida based or Florida located company. This will slow the inflow of people trying to move into the state, and that money can be allocated to build affordable single-family homes that can’t be sold to huge corporations. And every year you get one percentage off that out of state worker tax until it hit zero or you get a job based within or out of Florida
