I read that most buildings in Florida have had water intrusion due to the many hurricanes and storms over the years and I would say also due to central air conditioning.
Older homes were built with CBS blocks, but newer homes use drywall inside, which is an ideal medium for mold growth. Not a builder, so I don’t know why the change, but it’s not a good choice imho. Probably easier and cheaper to just add drywall versus plastering walls, not quite sure.
We rarely need artificial heat but A/C is a must in South Florida, unless you want to swelter for 6 months of the year. Central A/C has it own unique set of problems, including leaks and mold growing in the ducts, which then circulates throughout the entire home! 
Where can we live comfortably without artificial heat or A/C? That is where I want to be. As natural as possible!
I was feeling sick from the mold and it was visible on my clothing and shoes, purses, even after 2 remediations by my homeowner’s insurance (they cut some corners). I chose to walk away from all my belongings versus getting sick and risking getting my 2 daughters that were living with me and our dogs getting sick.
I ended up selling the home after paying high property taxes for 5 years, while not inhabiting the home. Sold the home at a financial loss, as is. The new owners knew they would have to take the home down to the studs.
I had a client whose parents stayed in a home with mold because her parents did not take it seriously. Her mother died of lung cancer 6 months later with no prior health concerns.
My eldest has a reactive rescue dog who is wonderful with us and my dog, but not with strangers and other dogs. It’s tough but we love him so. I understand! We have 4 rescues in the family.
Folks we need to open up our homes and provide decent under market rent. I have done this for 20+ years, had 20+ roomates, most could not pay market. Subvert the realty moneysucking paradigm with sharing any extra space you have if you are a homeowner, or do nothing and complain.
I have only just subscribed to your Substack as a result of a conversation on Bill Huston's silly post about Ivermectin.
I am British and would like to point out that all countries are suffering very similar pressures over housing. I submit to you that this is a top-down influence which is done deliberately to force migration and down-sizing on all of us. We are being herded into Smart Cities and away from the land which has been designated Wild Land by the UN Agendas 21 and 2030.
This momentum will not let up because it is deemed essential in the Sustainable Development Goals.
I wrote a translation of the SDGs in 2015 which may help you to understand why changes in rents and economics are happening:

Thank you, James! I am praying and know I will be guided. 🙏🏼✨
