I would think many states (including Florida) enjoy the tourist business they receive. I would guess those residents in the local areas might not like all the attention. But why stay living someplace if it bothers you that much? Some have learned to turn that into a positive and make some cash off them. There are always options.
So you're saying we should move. I already moved from Miami 30 plus years ago after it changed so much. It was a paradise when I was growing up there. Now I avoid it if I possibly can. Yes, many people make money off of snowbirds. Many don't. If your not in a tourist driven business, the effect is higher prices and longer lines. I do not dislike snowbirds, its some of the attitudes that get me.
