Not even a month-and-a-half old, the new Super-Speeder Law is opening eyes across the Sunshine State. It's episode #807 of The ANEZ Sez podcast...

Over five centuries ago, fabled conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon became the first European to place his espadrille on North American soil... yet it would take three more of those centuries the steamy, sunny peninsula he claimed would be host to any permanent European society. Florida was thus the first American state to be explored, yet the last to be settled. Colonial Florida presents a compelling question: what goes on here? The answer involves fisher-kings and filibusters, pirates and planters, Muscogees and Maroons, and many, many eccentric Florida Men. Liam and Russian Sam are joined once again by Jackson (@GraceCthdralPrk) for the first in a series on the Sunshine State — probably the most peripheral of the Lower 48, yet fundamental to American history, from the unsteady beginnings of colonialism to the ravages of Andrew Jackson and eventually the 20th-century triumph of air conditioning, swamp-draining and beachfront real estate. This episode of Gladio Free Europe examines Florida in its long early days as a permanent borderland, a place contested by shifting configurations of European authority who never had more than nominal control over its swampy ground. This unique situation allowed Native American states to have longstanding levels of autonomy, from the Calusa kingdoms of the 16th century to the multiethnic Creek and Seminole confederations of the 19th. Although Florida would experience major political and demographic changes from 1513 to 1821, it would remain the eternal frontier. From Ponce de Leon through Andrew Jackson, no conquistador could fully quash Native resistance, and all colonizers had to afford legal rights and human dignity to the large numbers of free people of color residing in Florida. Though Europeans quickly found there was no fountain of youth and no cities of gold, rumors of exotic riches and fruitful soil continued to inspire generations of swindlers and swashbucklers. Join Gladio Free Europe to see how all of these factors contribute to the myth-making of the Sunshine State, the most desired and most disreputable appendage to America.Ending music is Harden Stuckey's "The River St. Johns" as performed by Jake Xerxes Fussell. The diva in the episode art is the Key Marco Cat, a timeless icon of Calusa craftsmanship.

Making Money Minute with Ron Hiebert - Disasters & Insurance If Trump hasn't scared you off buying a winter home in the US sunbelt - maybe this will. The natural disasters that took place the last few years have caused insurers to see a lot of red ink. Huge claim payouts forced them to dramatically jack up insurance rates. Take Florida for example, a favorite snowbird destination that has seen its fair share of hurricanes the last few years. The average cost to insure a home in the Sunshine State is expected to reach $15,460 US by the end of the year. So before you buy a property down South, check the cost of insurance. It might be a deal breaker.

On this week's program: One of Florida's most savvy public revenue hawks thinks the president's tariff-o-rama is bad. At least in the near term; The State of Florida seems destined to be a major lockup point for immigrants taken into custody for whatever reason; For the time being at least, there will be no changes to how Florida citizens can propose changes to the state's constitution; There's good news in Florida's new budget for advocates of more affordable housing; With federal clean energy incentives soon to be history, the question is can renewable energy enterprise survive in the Sunshine State?

It began as a strange feeling of dread and imminent danger he experienced in a Florida orange grove in 1974. Another experience of dread occurred in the Sunshine State when he pulled his motorcycle off of a moonlit road in 1978.

Decker had decided to spend the dark watches of the night about fifteen feet up in a large tree, and was awakened to see large hands reaching upward toward his feet ...

The housing market has finally reached a pivotal turning point. After years of frenzied buying, skipped inspections, and astronomical prices, we're witnessing a much-needed stabilization that brings good news for both homebuyers and inspection professionals.Our latest market analysis reveals that 44% of current listings have sat for over 60 days—representing a staggering $700 billion in inventory. This extended time on market means sellers are becoming realistic about pricing, with the average sale price now falling below asking. The days of waived inspections and desperate bidding wars appear to be fading into memory.Florida continues to function as our market crystal ball. Areas like Orlando, Tampa, and Cape Coral that saw appreciation rates 11% above the national average are now cooling significantly. What happens in the Sunshine State typically rolls across the country within six months, signaling better days ahead for inspection businesses nationwide as buyers regain negotiating power.Meanwhile, the home inspection industry faces a technological revolution as AI reshapes our profession. While some fear these changes, we see opportunity for those willing to adapt. The most successful inspectors will embrace AI tools to enhance efficiency while maintaining the irreplaceable human expertise that clients trust. Those clinging to outdated methods—like handwritten reports—may find themselves increasingly marginalized as the industry evolves.Construction trends show interesting patterns with high-density luxury apartments dominating many areas rather than single-family homes. And contrary to predictions, the "gray wave" of Baby Boomers selling their homes hasn't materialized, with most choosing to age in place. Interestingly, Gen Z shows remarkable enthusiasm for homeownership despite market challenges, potentially driving future transaction volumes.The worst appears behind us. The mass exodus of inspectors has largely stopped, and even newer professionals are finding their footing. For established inspection businesses willing to embrace change while maintaining quality, the future looks increasingly bright.
