Florida has the wrong bogeyman for our condo crisis. It's not climate change. | Opinion

I have been a condominium owner in Jupiter for five years. Over that period our condo’s property insurance has doubled, as well as our reserve contributions.

Heads up, drivers. Florida's left-lane bill is back. Last year, the Florida Legislature passed a law that would fine anyone using the far-left lane on roads with speed limits of 65 mph or more for anything besides passing other vehicles, with some exceptions. But Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed it , saying the language was too broad and could lead to people being unnecessarily pulled over. "In addition, the bill could potentially increase congestion in Florida's urban areas as drivers may decide to not utilize the furthest left-hand lane at all for fear of being ticketed," DeSantis said.
