    Counterpoint: I live in Florida and the less that happens at the state level, the better. DeSantis and the FL GOP are doing their best to consolidate power in Tallahassee since they have a supermajority there and they will happily fuck over just about anyone just to show them who’s boss.

    The last thing I need is the assholes in Talla having more power over my neighborhood.

      These things are less about putting on state control and more about removing local control from the picture. The problems are always local ones with the small NIMBY crowds. CA just overrode all counties and cities and imposed a rezoning code. The law allows for those communities to play along and adjust their practices, but also allows the state to step in when they refuse, which has happened in some areas.
