Florida’s appeal extends beyond fiscal incentives; its warm climate and vibrant culture continue to lure professionals. Ken Griffin emphasizes that Miami embodies optimism and opportunity, fostering a community that believes in progress and the American Dream. With residents enthusiastic about their future and businesses thriving, it's becoming a hub of innovation and creativity.
That said, the shift has brought challenges, including rising living costs and pressures on housing and schools. As more affluent professionals move to Florida, median home prices have skyrocketed nearly 96% over five years, leading to concerns about affordability and the sustainability of the middle-class demographic.
