Florida Letter From Daytona Snowy Real Estate Boom
A Daytona Florida letter from early winter describes a 32 to 42 degree day pattern, frost damage to citrus and vegetables, and a booming real estate market along Beach Street. The writer notes hundreds of thousands of lots sold, high rents forcing closures, and investors chasing quick profits amid a state wide land boom with tax titles. Wildlife and city life anecdotes accompany observations of dogs, bakery bread feeding to ducks, and curious coastal scenery.
