I caught that article in the Tampa Bay Times yesterday. Florida continues to grow by leaps and bounds regardless of what the nay-sayers of CD may say.

Do you have any statistical info regarding the slowing or reversal of FL population? The latest figures I have read from the U.S. Census tell a much different story.

Check the link posted up a few in this thread posted by another user.

Is that the best you can do? It's not very original.

Naysayers and haters? I'm not seeing any of that, probably because crazynip has ceased posting..
As for Florida soon to out populate NY i guess every one telling all their friends and relatives up north how Florida is paradise and those here are living in Paradise on the beach everyday well sooner or later those northerners going to want a piece of that action and down they come..
