In light of the recent high costs of home ownership, it is interesting to find that the property tax rates have not changed in California or Washington State since the 1980's. Yet the amount that homeowners have paid to the government has increased dramatically. The problem is not with property taxes or tax rates. High property taxes are merely a symptom of a core problem, and that if you are having to eliminate an entire, major category of expense just to keep people in their homes, something else is very wrong.
The endless marketing of Florida as a sanctuary for nearly unlimited numbers of other people does not reflect a well-rounded understanding of the Florida economy, its culture and its actual needs. Instead, it is a flirtation with unconditional inclusion in the name of "compassion", which is very similar in principle to open borders. They have done this because they have used higher population numbers, the amount of housing and construction jobs, and growth in state revenue as the metric by which they judge a state's economic health. It does not work, because "growth" does not equal strength.
On the contrary, one of the main objectives of Communism is to make it more and more difficult for people to live independently in rural areas, and to own private property. To reach this goal, they use crises in other states and cities as an opportunity to bum-rush the more rural areas of the country, using population and unwanted development to raise the cost of living, inflate property values far beyond true market conditions, and "blow it up", both economically and culturally. Because of this, they don't regard private property or rural land, and they don't regard private farming or ranching, because they seek high density housing, limited travel, and the centralization and control of the food supply.
These goals are among the main, stated objectives of the Green New Deal, which was previously known as the "Comprehensive Blueprint for the Reorganization of Human Society". It is not new, and was first introduced into the U.S Congress by Nancy Pelosi in 1993. Its conception of "conservation" or "efficiency" is not that of preserving nature and the environment, but of packing as much human presence and activity as possible into as small a space as possible, which means dense housing, and controlling / limiting the aspects of nature that man uses for his own physical and spiritual sustenance – water, the lakes, rivers and oceans, the sky, the air and land zoned for agriculture.
Because of this, large areas of nature or undeveloped land, including county property, and large private property lots with only one home are seen by many developers as "a waste of land", not simply because they are greedy, but because many of them are operatives for the Green New Deal agenda. The goal of 're-organizing human society' necessitates the control of more and more land. To further this end, they have cited cattle itself as a "threat to the environment", while ignoring the real threats to the environment that they impose every day.
To gain this control, they seek to have as much land as possible put into the possession and control of a relatively few corporate entities, such as investors or developers, rather than in the hands of individual citizens, land lords or the county. This is also the main reason why the cost of beef is so high, and why China seeks to buy up land in the United States. These entities form an easy alliance with the political operatives in a given area who allow them to operate, whether they are Republican, Democrat or Independent, and they fund the campaigns of these politicians in exchange for favors or special allowances. These special allowances usually come in the form of rezoning, zoning "modifications", or the suspension of normal local and state regulations.
With the changes / additions that these entities represent comes property values that are inflated far beyond true market conditions, and out of proportion to the citizens wages. The ease of life for the 'migrants' from out of state is not worth the unrest and high turnover in both the housing market and the economy at large that these resettlement schemes have created, with record numbers of already existing homes held at auction because long-standing citizens could no longer afford the costs. The only sector of the economy that this benefits is the real estate sales sector, because the cultural and economic erosion, dislocation and dysfunction that this creates in every other sphere cannot even be imagined.
The fact that this pattern has been repeated across both Florida and the country, and the fact that it has continued despite its near universal rejection by long-standing citizens, means that it cannot be simply the incidental fumbling of an ignorant or incompetent group of "leaders" in one, or even a handful of locations. Instead, it is a deliberate, nation-wide war, with its foot-soldiers in local and state government positions across the country, all knowingly carrying forward the same battle plan.
One of the primary means they use for bringing about their desired 'change' is by the rezoning of land – land that was intended for industrial or agricultural use, but that with the use of zoning changes, is used instead for housing, or a Planned Development Project (PDP). Behind all such changes / additions is a disdain for both the elderly and the young alike – the elderly, who can no longer afford to own their home, and the young who would like to be able to own a home or own some other form of property, but due to these conditions, cannot do so.
These elderly citizens are often moved into some variant of a "senior center", where they can be overseen or "cared for" in one large facility. Other forms of housing are marketed for those who have been forced to consider the least expensive form of housing available, whether it is an apartment complex, a villa or a single-family home. They are sometimes marketed for elderly citizens, or those 55 and older, usually from other, already-dysfunctional areas or states. The euphemism sometimes used for such projects is "affordable housing". Yet much of this housing is rental, and the rent is often $3,000 a month, because the true objective is neither home ownership nor affordability, but the fake proliferation of homes and thus control over where and how people live.
In other words, this is a deliberate assault, which is why county commissioners who support such efforts do not want to listen to objections and the true market.
One way for the loyal citizen to address such plans is by looking in the newspaper or online, and taking note of any meeting / hearing on rezoning, as well as any activity indicating the sale of public / county property. Look up / research the entities who put in the rezoning request or who seek to purchase public property. Another approach is to take away the foundational reason for added housing, which is a added population. Republicans, sincere democrats and independents can all unify behind this issue in growing numbers, and communicate with all the candidates for governor, as well as candidates for local offices; Let them know that one of the defining issues for true Floridians is whether they will limit the amount of migration into the state and counties to the number of people either leaving or passing away. By keeping it a 1:1 ratio like this, you remove most, if not all of the reason for their existence, and such developments can be eliminated. Another way is to get on all the public discussion forums where people from other states are sharing their thoughts / questions regarding moving to Florida. Communicate with the prospects directly, as well as make original postings regarding the true conditions in the state, and let them know in your own way not to come.
There has been a recent tendency to think of and define America First as "pro-growth". This is wrong. We are pro freedom. This involves the freedom and the right to be heard, and to reject on the state and local level the things that do not comport with our values. In keeping with this, it should not be a challenge to get county commissioners to turn down a data center, a green energy project, housing project or anything else. A person or a group of long-standing citizens should not have to make long, thorough arguments, attend endless numbers of meetings or organize in large numbers just to prevent what would otherwise by an onslaught. If there is a real struggle in this regard, you are dealing with tyranny, not capitalism and freedom.
"Red" states are not obliged to be a sanctuary for every ailing citizen from every city and state, any more than the United States is obliged to be the sanctuary for every ailing "migrant" from around the world.

Or, hear me out, most of us simply can’t afford it because millions of homes are owned as an investment
I have at least 4 calls a day from investment groups try to purchase my property.
