      This. You take a lifetime of wealth from Canada and then piss it down the drain in the most backwards part of the USA.

    I don’t have sympathy for the guy having a second home complaining he has to pay more tax. There is an easy solution

    “Snow Birds” should have flew the coup as soon as Homeland Security started shooting protestors.

    For years, Canadian owned property in FL has had a surtax. Primarily due to property tax increases being capped at 3% for “real Floridians” that skyrocket to “normal rate”+ high annual increases, when a Canadian buys the home.

    Wonder if there is going to be a spree of arson for the insurance so some of the remaining snowbirds get out.

    If you look at who is pushing for and against it, then it becomes more interesting. It’s like this, the people arguing that it will cut funds aren’t lying, it’s just it will directly affect them. Some of these officials that press against the amendment that are in office make $250k to $400k+ and that doesn’t include all the other perks they get so they will do anything to keep their pay. The budget expenses have went up roughly 50% in the last six years. Yet there’s always a shortage. Florida is as corrupt as it gets. There’s also a lot of misinformation.

    The dangus of a governor is great at pissing everyone off.

    Hahaha, this is especially a great idea to entice the rich folks from New York who were telling everyone that Mayor Mamdani was going make them flee to Florida. /s

    If you’re Canadian and you still have property in Florida by that point, that’s on you.
