Floridians Feel the ‘Sunshine Squeeze’: Nearly 50% Want To Move Due To Affordability

Living in Florida is becoming punishingly unaffordable, and nearly half of the Sunshine State’s residents are now considering moving elsewhere, according to a new study.

Florida Atlantic University’s Business and Economic Polling Initiative (BEPI) released the results of its latest poll this week, revealing that just under 50% of Floridians are "seriously considering" moving due to the rising cost of living.
