As dragnet2 pointed out yesterday on a different thread, DeSantis is all in for the high-profile issues and for touting legislation that has minimal effect, such as the recent “squatter” law. What DeSantis doesn’t tell you is that Florida has always had laws against “squatting”. Unlike New York, we’ve never passed the kind of insane legislation that their residents are now having to grapple with.
Same with this latest law. The rampant looting we’ve seen in California and other deep-blue states hasn’t been an issue here. We already have strong laws on that sort of thing. DeSantis is a self-promoting showman who’s more concerned with optics than policy.
WRONG! the old Florida squatting laws had NO TEETH! ask me how I know this up close and personal...$6,000 later. if the new squatter legislation had been in effect just Four years ago, me and wifey would still have that $6,000. signed: Florida native.
You are citing someone that does not know what they are talking about.
But sure, fault DeSantis for taking the lead and argue he should let things get completely out of control before attempting to take any action.
