DeSantis got all huffy in a presser this AM regarding total damage from Milton, for some reason trying to minimize it. But to do so, he compared it to Ian and Helene. Not sure if he gets the irony that 5 years ago we used to talk about Andrew, which happened decades ago, and now he's downplaying Milton because it wasn't as bad as last week's hurricane.

because my family owns property there that took 2 years to get fixed up Post Ian due to that fucker's mismanagement.
A condo my parents - including my dad with Parkinson's, wanted to retire to, but it was inaccessible for a massive time due to DeSantis' stupidity

No state "locked down" for three years.  And Forida implemented many of the same protective health measures as other states did in the first eight months of the pandemic.  When the Delta variant hit in November 2020, some states extended their measures for another six months.  Others like Florida didn't.

I gather he is saying DeSantis mismanaged the recovery from Ian.

DeSantis' policy on immigrant visas created a labor shortage right at the time the state needed lots of that sort of labor for reconstruction of Lee County. Materials were also in short supply because the port was clogged up due to similar labor issues. Delivery of materials was also bogged down because road clearance and reconstruction by FDOT was to the level even the Iraqi's would scoff at.

His utility commission was completely fubar, and water/power were not restored to the north stretch of Hickory for over a year, despite the utilities NOT being in a labor crunch - utilities share their skilled workers who pretty much go from disaster to disaster. Good luck with the 3 million in Florida out of power now if North Hickory had to wait a year post Ian. The condo had to buy multiple generators at their own expense and run them to power A/C units such that units undamaged by the storm surge didn't become mold infested while we awaited power.

In disaster areas, best practice is to streamline permitting. 18 months after Ian, our condo building still did not have permitting to replace what was an existing elevator. We finished a kitchen remodel (plenty of labor to do interiors - because those types of skilled workers were picking their asses because external construction was going at a snails pace in Lee County). In order to get the countertops to the unit, we had to hire a crane and put the granite through the window because there was still no elevator.

There were additional permitting problems with the reconstruction of the pool house and plumbing to the poolside bathroom, which had existed for over 40 years - to the point that the HOA just punted completely on rebuilding the poolhouse, going with only a pool.

Debris removal in Lee County - Ft Meyers Beach, Bonita, and Naples, was ineffective, delaying the ability to access parts of the building and for safe beach access.

I was being dramatic.

Florida was less restrictive in the summer of 2020 than Chicago was in May 2021. Source: I was in both at those times.

Yeah, we all know you are a drama queen. 

And you're telling me that neither Florida or Chicago were in "lock down" mode when you visited.  Thanks for sharing.
