What are the new opportunities, do people think this will really be the next finance hub or place to be on the bug side?

Praise be unto the bug side. Mosquito lyfe. 

But no, it's not the next finance hub and frankly sucks to live there. Stay in NYC/SF/CH they're so much better even with the taxes. More culture, more liberal, safer for LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC, more diverse/less racists, the list of what's better elsewhere is endless vs living in some hot, humid, gun-infested, Trump-toting hurricane magnet.

Edit: Y'all shit tossers are driving up the rents, kindly go away or the crocodiles and face-eating homeless people will get you! Go to Colorado instead!!!

Stop moving to FL and driving up rents that's racist! It's dangerous for trans kids thanks to the hate-filled governor! There are snakes, alligators, crocodiles, and face-eating homeless people on bath salts! KEEP OUT!!!
