Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis approved the “Live Local Act” Wednesday, which in part allocates $100 million to help teachers, healthcare workers and police officers buy homes.
Senate Bill 102, called the “Live Local Act,” will appropriate a total of $711 million in an effort to make housing more affordable for working Floridians. The bill provides incentives for private investment in affordable housing and bans local rent controls, News4Jax reported.
“Being able to have folks who are teachers, police officers, firefighters, all these important things — you can’t do it if they have to drive an hour, an hour-and-a-half just to get to work every day. I mean, we want people

This sounds all nice and everything, but it looks to me like another "feel-good" idea than could turn Florida's, or any, state government into just another layer of our socialist national government.

More income redistribution from the Florida governor. Next will be minimum annual income and free college education.

Sounds like DeSantis dove in to the Democrat deep end of the pool here.
I for one appreciate what these people do, but this is another form of welfare, it is not the taxpayers responsibility to help buy anyone a home nor is it in the governments purview to force them too!
If he wanted to sanction a government sponsored charity where citizens could donate to it that would be fine, but enough of taking the peoples hard earned money and using it for political gain which is all this is.

Those particular occupations were given very large wage increases during the pandemic where I live.

What about the grocery store workers, the trash collectors, bus drivers, construction workers, waiters, and waitresses? And, every other citizen? Come on! Teachers, HC workers, and cops are not angels or saints. What business fat cats will get wealthy on this boondoggle? Republicans who do things like this cannot be trusted.

The real truth is that the prices of homes in Florida are so high that the regular person cannot afford them anymore. I see the Trump trolls are ready to criticize my governor in fear that Donny can be beaten . Local problems folks !

I'll be eagerly watching how long this preemie can survive in the cold light of day, when there is not an election at stake.

Then he should lower taxes for everyone to put more money back in the pockets of those that earn it so they can better afford those homes instead of robbing some taxpayers to make it easier others, yes?

Hopefully the other workers will file a discrimination suit! This is pure socialism.

Acts of giving should be cheerful and anonymous. When government gets involved, I question the anonymity and cheerfulness from the taxpayer's perspective.

Dammed if he does and Dammed if he doesn't! The Residents of Florida are all for the Governor's New "Live Local Act". These are working people who DeSantis wants to keep in the Communities. These are not people getting a "Hand Out". But then, this is Ron DeSantis we're talking about, so no matter what he does from now until the Election will be somehow trashed. If Trump had announced a program like this, you would be saying he walks on Water!. So, us Floridians will just expect the Arrows coming our way. After all, if you insult Our Governor, you are also insulting those of us who voted for him!

He does this governor. What will he do as president?

Is DeSantis Mitt Romney 2.0 ?

The Gods of the CopyBook smile. Am I the only one who sees a concurrent RISE in the cost of homes in Florida that will work out to an approximately $711 million dollar disparity?
Kind of like every time they raised the GSL for college, college costs went up?
Save us from politicians who demand to rescue us from ourselves.
