Companies who lease office space, and especially of they have flexible terms, seem to be more chill about it. Just a general observation.

A florida law I actually agree with. In my area, 40% of home purchasers are Chinese nationals looking to park their money outside if China. No American can afford to buy a home and they’re using our houses like a piggy bank.
