I am amazed at the amount of confusion, and misinformation that is coming out AGAINST the new homestead amendment.
IT seems that Charlie Crist and the Realtors are the only ones pushing for this while every other group is against it.
Lowering taxes and crating a more equitable tax solution for Florida is imperative, or we will be the first state to go bankrupt. Just like all the 2000 homeowners in Manatee county that are in active foreclosure.
Who's going to foreclose on the State?
Creating an environment were people are encouraged to move to different homes, and encourage retirees to still consider Florida for a second or primary home should be our main focus.
It seems that are economy is made up of the RICH, who are here on vacation, and everyone else.
Prices of homes have dipped as much as 30% in the past 6 months! The downward spiral in some neighborhoods is more like a free-fall.
For example, comparable homes on the same street sale prices from 700 in may of last year, last month I sold a comparable for 490,000!!
A great time for move up buyers, investors, and first timers, but we need tax relief, even if it is only a "Band-aid" for the HUGE problems the state is facing.
If you read this and live, or know someone who lives in Florida, please encourage them to vote yes on 1 for Tuesday. I am sure that they are hearing lots of misinformation encouraging to vote no.
