Field notes

Florida has no state income tax — Miami captures the high-earner relocation flow from NYC and California, which is what reset rents from 2020 to 2024. Brickell, Wynwood, Edgewater, and Coconut Grove are the nomad anchors; South Beach is for tourists. The structural draw is the LATAM bridge — Spanish-first business culture, direct flights everywhere south. Hurricane and flood exposure is real and insurance is climbing fast. Summer (June–October) is hot-humid-stormy.

Effectively two seasons — warm-dry (November–April, 21–25°C, low rain) and hot-wet (May–October, 27–29°C with afternoon thunderstorms basically daily). Hurricane season (June–November) is the structural risk; insurance has climbed sharply since 2017. King-tide flooding is the slow-motion climate event reshaping coastal real estate.
