One of the five major themes of geography is movement. We are seeing how population movement patterns and migration are affecting FL and our lives here on a very local level. According to data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, in 2021, a total of 61,728 New Yorkers applied for a Florida driver's license. New Jersey was second on the list with 32,083. Most Floridians would eventually see the first signs of their arrival, as the housing market grew increasingly more competitive. Newly elected Jupiter Mayor and longtime city councilman Jim Kuretski says managing all these newcomers is a challenge. "So many people from up North coming down here with money to spend, and they are outbidding people in this area," Kuretski says developers would like nothing better than to clear some land to build more high-end homes and maybe a new mall. "I was elected because I say no", said Kuretski. He says, "many people who cherish Jupiter for what it is and want it to remain uniquely Jupiter expect us to keep it the way it is." Joshua was tasked with finding solutions to the growing population issues in FL. How can FL accommodate newcomers and keep the cost of living affordable for all FL residents? These are current day human geography issues and challenges happening literally in our own backyards.
