“The majority of Floridians are hanging on to the ‘American Dream,’ but rising housing costs and everyday expenses make it difficult to achieve, according to a new poll from Florida Atlantic University’s Business and Economic Polling Initiative (BEPI). The high cost of living is a pressure point for the state, as 90 percent of residents are at least somewhat concerned about inflation, and 80 percent are concerned with housing affordability. Living paycheck to paycheck due to affordability issues has also become the norm, with 43 percent of respondents saying they live paycheck to paycheck, while 26 percent said they do so occasionally. Only 48 percent have an emergency fund covering at least three months of expenses. Nearly 50 percent of Floridians surveyed say they have considered moving out of Florida due to the cost of living,” the New York Post did not report on Monday after Florida Atlantic University printed that press release.
They did not, as far as search results indicate, print a story about it on Tuesday. The omission of coverage stands in contrast to their alacritous reporting of some bullshit MAGA pollster’s purported finding that a quarter of all New Yorkers were planning on leaving the city in the likely event that socialist Dem Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor. The Florida one would be a bigger deal, wouldn’t it?
