It's well-known that companies and big-name investors moved to Florida during the pandemic. Ken Griffin was one of those. He moved his investment empire called Citadel from Chicago to Miami.
In mid-November he told Bloomberg that Miami could replace New York as the global financial capital.
"Let's cut to the chase. New York is the financial capital of America today, and it's New York's to lose," he said at a conference in Miami. "Now, having said that, Miami, I think, represents the future of America."
Griffin is certainly not the first to think he’s seen in the future here. But this story is not about big investment companies or big investors moving to Florida. This is a story of working people coming here, perhaps without having to leave their jobs behind.
