Same here in Florida, this house sold for 19,000 and to replace it insurance wise has gone to 220,000. I see no tent city here. Are things perfect, hell no but I see no needles, people living out of shopping carts not tents on the sidewalks.
You are in a good area apparently. My neighbor is from Lake Wales and Pahokee---extreme poverty. Coos county where I live used to be the number one lumber export center of the world. Now instead of exporting lumber we export logs and along with it the thousands of good paying jobs we once had here. We were destroyed by corporate greed and shareholders demands of dividend checks.
