Naples has more millionaires per square mile than any other place in the US.

The median home price in Palo Alto is 2.9 million dollars. 56.3% home ownership rate. Housing values have doubled in the last decade, so even someone buying a median price home 10 years ago at 100% financing has 1.5 million in equity.

And because unlike Naples, those homes aren't a lot of empty nesters, there are more millionaires per home, for example the Zuckerberg househould has, for all intents and purposes, four billionaires.

And while it *should* be denser than it is, there are a lot of multi-million dollar homes on 1/8 acre or smaller lots, and plenty of duplexes.

SW FL is usually protected from major hurricanes bc it’s rare for one to come from the west.  And if it came from the East across FL, it’d be weaker by the time it got to the west side.  If it came directly up from the south, Cuba would likely weaken it.   

Some of your assumptions are a little off base.  You actually could not live in a more Hurricane prone area of coastline in the United States.  The three most southwestern counties in Florida: Lee County has seen 7 landfalling Major hurricanes in the last 100 years.  Collier County has seen 9 Major Hurricane landfalls in the last 100 years and Monroe leads the state of florida with 15.   These are just Majors.  The numbers go even higher when you take into account Cat 1s and 2s.

Southwestern Florida is not protected from diddly.  Its a Hurricane hot spot.  Only Eastern Cuba weakens storms significantly.  And that's if they only travel parallel to it.   Western Cuba does little to nothing to storms.  History has shown this over and over, as the western part of Cuba is much thinner in area and has far fewer mountains than what eastern Cuba has.
