My native state of Fla is too expensive with outrageous housing and insurance costs! Groceries and gas are more than other states, medical institutions are overwhelmed and poorly run. Overdevelopment has caused stifling traffic. Now the state will have to raise taxes for disaster relief. Bravo maga.

In the article, it mentions the FEMA funds could be given out to individual states to use as they wish. This would likely be done as "Disaster Block Grants". That seems far less efficient, given a recent study by the GAO with these conclusions:
