Geezers alone are not responsible for the net increase in Florida: from ABC newsline: "FORT MYERS — New Census data shows more and more New Yorkers are continuing to move to Florida, marking the largest state-to-state flow in the nation. The Census Bureau says more than 308,000 people moved from New York state to Florida from 1995 to 2000. Florida's net domestic migration of 607,000 has been the largest of any state, with most new arrivals coming primarily from states in the northeast. University of Florida analyst Stanley K. Smith says New Yorkers have been flocking to Florida since the 1950s and the trend continues. The reasons are mainly jobs and warmer weather. Despite the perception that the only people moving to Florida are retirees, Smith says more of Florida's new residents are people in their 20's and 30's, coming here because of job growth. The counties with the most population growth in Florida are Broward and Palm Beach, followed by Lee County – which gained nearly 46,000 people. Collier added 32,000, and Charlotte gained 19,000." In the past three years many companies have moved their headquarters to Florida. Lee County Building Industry has just released information that Lee County is leading the country in new homes now surpassing the Florida east coast, Collier County (Naples) and Las Vegas for the first time.
