Скачать или смотреть This Could Be Florida’s Last Stand for Local Power!

Wherever you fall on the political spectrum, Florida’s new law — Senate Bill 180 — should concern you. It was sold as “hurricane relief,” but developers and the DeSantis administration are now using it to silence local governments, block environmental rules, and override community decisions.

This episode of Seeking Rents dives deep into how one bill could mark the last stand for home rule in Florida — and what it means for every resident, from Miami Beach to Manatee County.

What You’ll Learn:
• What “home rule” really means and why it matters to everyone
• How Senate Bill 180 transformed from hurricane recovery to developer leverage
• Why local officials are suing the state to save democracy at the local level
• How money and influence steer laws in Tallahassee
