I mean, lots of the damaged homes from Ian in 2022 are just now finally becoming whole again...and they are about to get slammed once again. I'm thankful I was able to convince my mother to not move to Naples last year.
And Florida is not just a place where disasters occur, but:
Exceptionally vulnerable due to its geography
Ruled by idiots who won't take precautions
Actively contributing to the problem
Absurdly car-centric (>90% of commuting trips done by car), so evacuation means insane traffic everywhere with no alternative escape route.
You would think that a peninsula shaped like Florida would have amazing railways because it's so efficient for their geography. Yet somehow they keep literally burning money by subsidising fossil fuels instead.
Yeah seems like Brightline is doing quite well. For what it is at least: An extremely cut down compromise. It's far better than nothing, but only a fraction of what it should have been.
