Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area has highest living costs in Florida | Florida
SUMMARY: The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach metro area has the highest living costs in Florida, according to a Tax Foundation report. It found that $100 is worth only $89.70 in terms of goods and services in this area, primarily due to high housing costs, with an average home price of $625,000. Other regions, like Naples and Cape Coral, also show reduced purchasing power, but many areas, including Tampa Bay and Jacksonville, offer better value. Central Florida locations like Sebring and the Villages show the best purchasing power, where $100 buys over $110 worth of goods and services.

SUMMARY: The Israeli military continues operations in Gaza as a ceasefire with Hamas is delayed over the group’s failure to provide names of hostages for release. Rear Adm.
