Connatser said many people take for granted the liberty provided by working at a company. For example, self-employed individuals don't get paid for "slop" - things like chatting with employees, taking bathroom breaks and surfing the Internet on company time.
Then, too, there are startup costs, Social Security and insurance costs, accounting costs, more complex tax forms, business licenses to acquire, capital to raise and numerous other hardships that are difficult to anticipate.
"Lots of costs are related to things you really can't quantify - you can't sit down and make an accurate calculation about their worth," Connatser said.
All this means that an entrepreneur needs to devote every ounce of energy to the business - and make sure his or her family is on board.
But the state's tried-and-true formula of plentiful jobs, abundant sunshine and low taxes suddenly isn't enough to hold onto thousands of families as real-estate speculators and empty nesters are snapping up property, shrinking the supply of affordable homes for newcomers who traditionally pumped up school enrollment.

But within this year's total there is a bigger proportion than ever of people who have been accepted to do foundation degrees. The number of people accepted for full-time foundation degrees - to be completed in two years - is at least 15% higher than last year. When the number accepted to do part-time foundation degrees is added, the total growth on last year is expected to be as much as 30%, according to Derek Longhurst, chief executive of Foundation Degree Forward, the body that supports their development.
State Rep. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach, an architect of the Democratic plan, praised Davis' version. "If you want a substantial rate reduction, this is the only plan that will do it," Gelber said. "The other guy's plan is simply cosmetic. It's to get them through election day, but it will not lower your rates substantially.

Serious allegations of abuse over storm-related expenditures -- such as those under investigation at Hallandale Beach's Parker Plaza condominium -- send a clear signal that we must aggressively pursue a solution to this insurance crisis, even as we prosecute those who try to profit from insurance-related graft and corruption.
Spiraling storm-related insurance premiums put a strain on our communities and compromise the ability of elected volunteer community association leaders to manage them effectively. Such premiums prevent allocation of sums prudent boards should channel to protective measures to reduce the risk of future hurricane damage and tempt international insurers back to Florida.
Skyrocketing insurance premiums, on top of financing, collection and management of huge sums to cover insured and uninsured storm related damages, threaten unnecessarily to fan the flames of contention and spur conflict in even well-governed communities across the state.
This has got to stop and our elected officials must act now if Florida is going to continue to remain attractive for individuals and families seeking secure and affordable lifestyles in our beautiful state

Hartford Homeowners Insurance - Increase in Property Taxes
Some landlords gave up. Charles Adams of Citrus Park owned two rental homes and sold both of them as tax bills became too much. He sold a 1,300-square-foot rental home in Ballast Point at a time when neighbors were building enormous new homes, driving up his property tax bill at a $1,000-a-year clip. He waited until after the death of a longtime tenant to sell an 800-square-foot home in Palm River last year.

The survey was conducted by the 4,000 member Community Association Leadership Lobby (CALL), a not-for-profit advocacy group established in 2003 by the law firm Becker & Poliakoff to represent common-interest ownership communities.
