Florida's future is akin to #DeathSantis' disastrous pres. bid:
~500K left FL in 2022. Contributing to their move was a perfect storm of soaring INSUR costs, hostile pol ENVIR, worsening traffic & extreme weather, acc to interviews with >dozen recent transplants & longtime residents who left in the past 2 yrs.
@KimPerales almost 500,000 people left but 750,000 arrived
i hate Florida but this is the same BS as people say about NY. Any state that is a major first stop for new immigrants is going to have massive out-migration as people get their feet under them and find opportunities in the interior. This has been true for hundreds of years on the US East Coast
@stevenbodzin I somewhat agree, it will be interesting to see the numbers for 2023, esp. in Florida, since there are so many issues. Many Floridians who would like to leave, don't have the wherewithal to move.
It's a complex issue.
Families have been manipulated into thinking the public schools can't offer good services to Autistic children (cue private industry takeover of services). ABA providers have a record of questionable results/methods as well as fraudulent billing. From the 2020 DOD report:
"...(to date), the total restitution based on these ABA services
investigations to DHA is $19,783,035....DHA has
recouped $1,867,509 for improperly billed ABA services for this same period"
