Who ever wrote this has no idea of the cost of living in Orlando Fl. You have college degreed and a very good job to make that much money " Monthly Net Salary (After Tax) $ 4,211.88"
Location: Florida
Ballot year: 2020
Ballot text: Raising Florida’s Minimum Wage Raises minimum wage to $10.00 per hour effective September 30th, 2021. Each September 30th thereafter, minimum wage shall increase by $1.00 per hour until the minimum wage reaches $15.00 per hour on September 30th, 2026. From that point forward, future minimum wage increases shall revert to being adjusted annually for inflation starting September 30th, 2027.
That is what is supposed to be, but nobody is paying that.
To rent a 2/2 apartment in Maitland, Orlando, Windermere, Winter Park, Winter Garden.... with pool, and gym will cost you from $1,900.00 To 3,000.00 You can search it up. Do your homework, don't believe what they wrote here, everything is a lot more expensive than what they posted.

If people want pricing to go down here, then the demand for living here must cease.
I have seen the weekday slaughter of our wildlife all over our roads.
Newbies do not care. They drive like lunatics, hitting deer, raccoons, DOGS, even bears.The demand for more housing is destroying us.

Rents/home prices in Orlando have skyrocketed the past 10 years because of how many people are moving here (especially Puerto Ricans) and how many jobs are being created. It used to be a relatively low cost of living place but now its become much more in line with the rest of the country if not more expensive. I bought my house a year ago for $280,000 but if I bought it 10 years ago it would've been $180,000.

I like what all of you are talking about. Well, I live in Southern California. I cant believe how cheap it is to live in Orlando. Rent in Los Angeles is minimum $2400 mo. That's for a 2bd apartment. To rent a house it about $3200 month on up. In Los Angeles if you don't make $5000.00 after taxes you can not make it here. Also traffic is really bad here. It takes me two hours to go 50 miles to work and two and a half hours to come home. That's 100 hours a month driving to work. I was thinking on moving to Orlando but the weather there sucks. I hate humidity. Southern California has the Best weather. Average Temp is about 50f to 80f in winter and summer is about 80f to 100f and humidity at around 25% to 15%. But hope all you guys feel better now about your situations. Its hard to make it anywhere you live. God Bless..
