Apple To Expand Presence In Florida With New Miami Office (9to5mac.com) 32
An anonymous reader quotes a report from 9to5Mac: Following moves of other tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft, Apple is reportedly set to open a new office space in a Miami suburb. This won't be the first corporate space for Apple in the city, but it will be larger than the existing office. Reported by Bloomberg, anonymous sources close to the matter say that Apple's new Miami office will be 45,000 square feet in the affluent Coral Gables suburb of Miami. It's not clear yet what part of Apple's business the new office will focus on but it will be larger than its existing small Miami office that handles Latin America and advertising operations. The specific property of the new Apple offices will be at The Plaza Coral Gables.

If you think taxes are theft then we're done having a discussion. Living in a society means paying into it. Look at all those awesome countries without taxes. They change names every few years and "presidents" even faster.

Taxation isn't theft, spending the money against the people's interests is.
Spending it against your interests in particular is justifiable if your interests are harmful to others. It's offsetting the harm you are doing.

News flash, if you are on this site, you aren't rich and will never be so.
Rich people have better things to do. Like fly their boat and sail their plane.

Being able to actually afford a house.
You cannot afford a house in Florida. Not unless you already have one, are given one by a dead relative that retired here, or are rich.
Owning a house is a dream I had to give up on since I will never afford one.

It's more than just taxes and regulations. Quality of life for employees.
Quality of life, in Miami? Have you ever been to Miami? Their traffic makes LA's seem tolerable by comparison. In addition to being absurdly crowded, it is miserably hot and humid during the majority of the year. And I'm saying that as someone who has lived in central Florida for most of my life.
Somebody else also already nailed the real estate market. Want to pay a king's ransom for a tiny shack that's falling down and you can't insure it? Welcome to Miami.

Land hasn't been cheap in Florida in a long time. Maybe cheap compared to CA if you're earning CA wages, but once you come to Florida and start earning Florida wages, oh boy, you're in for a shock.

It would be shocking if I went to Florida, let alone moved there. They can keep it. Well, parts of it, anyway.

Sorry, I meant to say a plethora of undocumented alpha testers.

Back when the muskrat "relocated" Tesla's headquarters to texas, Deer Creek all but revolted at the notion, and he got very, VERY few takers willing to move. He eventually had to give in and keep the old HQ open. I think he's just calling it a R&D campus or something now. But it's still open, operating, and packed to the brim.
Who would have thought that educated and skilled employees who can easily get jobs at other companies wouldn't want to give up their quality of life... and basic civil rights in
