When I left florida in 2000, it was among the least expensive states in which to live. When I visit these days I find it very expensive...what was Bush's contribution to this progression?

Oh, it is totally his fault.

As you know, the escalation of the cost of living in a state can be blamed on its governor, particularly if he's a Republican.

God. You people. Can't get away from your damned partisanship for 30 seconds.

I don't know but your assessment is accurate. I'm sure part was housing cost... it used to be so cheap. When housing goes up you have to pay people more and you have to charge more if employees cost more etc.
