In yet another example of tax funds that can be cut from the budget, people who want to upgrade their homes at taxpayer expense are angry that the state isn’t taking your money and giving it to them.
That’s $280 million per year that is stolen from one set of homeowners and given to another. A married couple with two kids who make more than $27 per hour, can’t receive your money.
That budget money is $30 taken from each household in Florida. Just one program. How many more can be cut?

There is plenty of funding for them, right?
That’s the attitude of the Gov’t minions. There is plenty of taxpayers available to fleece. Why are they complaining?

Well, since I spend 8-10 months a year at sea and work 100+ hours a week, I don’t qualify anyways, moneywise.
I can’t afford impact windows even so. Why. The F. Would I be ok with some trashbag New Yorker who retired at 45 from a hack nothing city job getting $10,000? While I kill myself slowly, far from home, and have to pay for his lazy ass?
F that program. Right in the ear. At highway speed. With a Peterbilt bumper.
I might be more amenable to subsidizing a northbound moving van for them, though, FL to NY/NJ.

I have felt stupid over the years for living within our means, saving, helping the kids get through school without debt, doing as much of our home and car repairs as possible, and just generally being fiscally responsible. When I see student loan forgiveness, Congress setting us up for inflation and banking “bail-ins”, and myriad other giveaways, I question my choices. At least I can tell myself that being debt-free and somewhat self-reliant prepares us for tougher times ahead.
My gardening projects are not up to expectations but then everything takes time. An account from which the principal is always being withdrawn.

So FLA doesn’t have any requirements for having homes be hurricane resistant?

Yes, but homes built before the mid 90s weren’t built to that standard

Those poor victimized homeowners that didn’t get the money they were due, extorted from the taxpayers! Cry me a hurricane.
