South Pointe Beach in Miami Beach, Florida. Climate risk is "always on our thoughts," said Habibian, 39, who moved to Miami-Dade County about six years ago. Despite that risk, 66% of Miami-Dade County residents said they'd never leave, according to a study published in the journal Climate Risk Management. "We try to be smart about it, try to be proactive as best we can," Arditi said of climate risk. Juxtaposed at left was one of the last remaining patches of mangroves in the urban Miami area, a living memorial to a once-thriving population.

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — A small airplane collided with a vehicle as it made an emergency landing on Interstate 75 in southwest Florida on Friday afternoon, authorities said. The crash landing happened near the Pine Ridge Road exit in Collier County, just north of where the interstate heads east toward Fort Lauderdale along what is known as Alligator Alley. The Florida Highway Patrol said in a news release that the southbound lanes were closed and advised motorists to seek alternate routes. A photo captured by the Florida Department of Transportation showed a huge plume of black smoke rising from the plane. It was not immediately known if anyone was injured.

☆ Opinion | The Main Problem With Pedestrian Deaths Isn’t the Pedestrians
  + stars: | 2023-10-28 | by ( Jamelle Bouie | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
If cyclists are scofflaws and pedestrians are uniformly distracted by phones, it’s not yet showing up in the research. The rise in pedestrian and cyclist deaths is first and foremost a product of design: design of cities, design of our streets, design of our vehicles. To the extent that we can trace it to behavior, it is behavior that has been inculcated by those design choices. The problem, ultimately, is about cars and trucks. And the focus, ultimately, should be on cars and trucks.

☆ Ron DeSantis will continue sending migrant flights to blue states after Florida recovers from Hurricane Ian damage, spokesperson says
  + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( Hannah Getahun | Kimberly Leonard | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Florida will continue flying migrants out of the state, DeSantis' office confirmed Saturday. The state paid $1 million to charter migrant flights to Delaware and Illinois, documents show. Fenske told the Associated Press the program is active as officials responded to Hurricane Ian, a Category 4 hurricane that devastated Florida and other southeastern states. "While Florida has had all hands on deck responding to our catastrophic hurricane, the immigration relocation program remains active," Fenske told the Associated Press. According to documents released Friday by the Florida Department of Transportation, Florida paid $1 million to set up two more flights to Delaware and Illinois.
☆ Florida migrant-moving company gave GOP cash, has ties to DeSantis' immigration 'czar' and Rep. Matt Gaetz
  + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( Marc Caputo | Marc Caputo Is A Senior National Political Reporter For Nbc News. | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +8 min
Vertol is based in the Florida Panhandle city of Destin, in Gaetz’s congressional district, and near Keefe’s home city as well. State and federal campaign finance data show Vertol contributed $2,500 to the North Florida Neighbors super PAC backing Gaetz’s first congressional bid in 2016. After DeSantis was elected, Vertol in 2019 contributed another $10,000 to the Republican Party of Florida, which is ultimately controlled by the governor. And Vertol contributed another $1,000 in June to state Rep. Jay Trumbull Jr.’s state Senate campaign. His father, Jay Trumbull Sr. had been appointed by DeSantis to the Florida Transportation Commission, which oversees the Florida Department of Transportation, the agency in charge of the Vertol contract.

Hungry Venezuelan migrants were given $10 Mcdonald's gift cards to gain their trust, a lawsuit says. The gifts were part of a "scheme" by DeSantis to get them to fly from San Antonio to Martha's Vineyard. Unnamed "Doe" defendants falsely promised that the migrants would receive employment, and housing if they boarded planes. Ron DeSantis gave hungry Venezuelan migrants $10 McDonald's gift certificates to gain their trust as part of a "scheme" to fly them from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha's Vineyard to advance a political agenda, according to a new lawsuit against the governor. After offering the gift certificates, they promised the migrants educational opportunities and other assistance if they boarded planes to other states, the lawsuit says.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Texas migrants he sent to Martha's Vineyard "hit the jackpot." Ron DeSantis on Sunday gave himself a pat on the back for sending 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard. Though locals in Martha's Vineyard moved swiftly to help when the news broke, DeSantis insisted liberal sanctuaries aren't as welcoming as they say they are. A homeless shelter on the vineyard said on Friday that it didn't have the bandwidth to take on the dozens of migrants.
☆ Biden's stimulus may have helped pay for Ron DeSantis' political stunt flying migrants to Martha's Vineyard

Biden's stimulus may have helped pay for DeSantis' political stunt to fly migrants to Massachusetts. Ron DeSantis finance a political stunt to fly migrants to a wealthy, liberal-leaning slice of Massachusetts. The stunt from DeSantis sparked outrage from immigration advocates and Democrats who called it a cruel political stunt that amounted to human trafficking. The Florida governor has devoted much time trying to troll Democrats, such as by threatening to send migrants to Biden's home state of Delaware. States and cities were eligible for $350 billion in federal relief under Biden's stimulus law.
