I gave up boating years ago and got tired of the constant boat maintenance. Traditional Floridians never wanted to live on the ocean unless they were in the fishing or shipping business. Remember pay a few million for housing and you will be giving the county thousands every year for the right to hold it. You never own any property in the US.
Some people can afford it.... some cannot. You obviously cannot, and that's ok.

Government should never extort money from you with the threat of losing your home. That goes against the concept of private property. What we have is a lease that is determined by artificially inflated values. Just wrong on so many levels.
