ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A new estimate shows Florida's population grew by almost 11 percent in the past eight years.

The estimate released this week by the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research puts Florida's population at 20.8 million residents as of this past April.

The estimate shows that Florida has grown by 2 million residents since the last decennial Census in 2010.

Florida is the nation's third most populous state, trailing only California and Texas.

1. I live in Sarasota

conservative ...

Worries me !!

2. And most of them came from northern blue states

That will cause more congressional seats to shift to Florida which means more electoral college votes

3. Too many of them are from red areas in the north

and I think they're all my neighbors.

4. And they will not vote for tax increases.

Better schools mean nothing to them.

5. Oh yeah...

Because they're retired.

Edit to add: I'm retired too, but I appreciate the need for good public education.
