People Headlines

In this World According to Briggs deep dive, we break down the real cost of living near the ocean in Florida and why hurricanes, flooding, rising property taxes, HOA fees, maintenance, and hidden coastal expenses are turning “paradise” into a long-term financial grind.

This video isn’t about politics or fear-mongering. It’s about math.

Florida doesn’t bankrupt people overnight. It drains them slowly — through hurricane deductibles, flood risk, post-storm repairs, infrastructure fees, salt-air damage, rising utility bills, and the constant stress of living in a storm zone. The ocean isn’t just scenery here — it’s a recurring expense.

If you’re thinking about:
• Moving to Florida
• Retiring near the beach
• Buying coastal or waterfront property
• Living in a condo or HOA near the ocean
• Or wondering why Florida homeownership feels riskier than it used to

This video lays it all out — clearly, bluntly, and without the brochure gloss.

Topics covered in this video:
• The hidden financial impact of hurricanes
• Why coastal Florida property costs keep rising
• HOA & condo special assessments after storms
• Salt air damage & nonstop home maintenance
• Property taxes & infrastructure fees
• Utility costs near the ocean
• Why selling and leaving Florida is getting harder

Sunsets are still free.
Everything else? Metered.

Why do some states cost a fortune… but feel like they deliver very little in return?

In this video, we break down the 10 U.S. states with the worst bang for your buck — places where high taxes, high housing costs, and rising cost of living don’t match the quality of services, infrastructure, or everyday life residents expect.

Using state-by-state data on taxes, housing prices, cost of living, and migration trends, we look at why people are increasingly frustrated in states like California, New York, Colorado, Washington, and Hawaii. These aren’t cheap states — but are they actually worth what they charge?

This is a deep dive into:
States with high taxes but poor infrastructure
States with expensive housing and shrinking value
Why people are leaving high-cost states
Where your money goes — and why it feels like it disappears
The growing gap between what states charge vs. what they deliver
If you’ve ever asked “Why am I paying so much to live here?” — this video is for you.
