Miami's cost of living now tops New York City's, despite Florida's tax advantages.
The cost of living in the Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach metro area is now 5% higher than in the New York City metro area, according to a Bloomberg analysis of U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data.
While Florida's lack of a state income tax remains a major draw, rising property taxes, soaring homeowners insurance premiums, and inflation have pushed South Florida's overall cost of living above New York City's for the first time.
However, relief could be on the horizon after Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature approve a proposed constitutional amendment for the November 2026 general election ballot. Under the proposal, eligible homeowners could receive up to a $250,000 exemption from non-school property taxes, phased in beginning in 2027 if voters approve the measure.
Hemos rescatado con vida a Marlene Angulo, de 69 años.
Al salir de entre los escombros, doña Marlene nos pidió una Coca-Cola. Nuestros médicos le explicaron que, por el momento, lo más importante era hidratarla por vía intravenosa para estabilizarla.
Ahora recibe atención médica.
Primero Dios podamos salvar más vidas.
Fuerza Venezuela 🇸🇻🇻🇪
All those affected by the catastrophic earthquake in Venezuela are in our thoughts, and we thank the first responders for helping everyone in harm's way. Apple will be donating to relief efforts on the ground.
Ya se encuentra en camino el primero de tres aviones que trasladan al personal, equipo e insumos que brindarán ayuda a nuestros hermanos venezolanos.
Que Dios los guíe y los proteja durante esta misión 🇸🇻🇻🇪
