To me it is not a bad thing if some people are leaving and others are not coming. Florida is way over crowded Far too many people for the fragile eco system. The state is also water limited. The Floridan Aquifer is being depleted faster than it can be replenished due to too much drawn down.

When I was a teenager and young adult back in the 1960s you could drive for miles down I-4 and not hardly see another vehicle. Nowadays is backed up from Tampa to Daytona Beach.
