I'm a Katrina refugee who just rode out Harvey and managed to stay dry; I've lived around the Gulf Coast most of my life.   

As to the market in Fort myers: Nothing seems to be helping the "Price Recovery" so far, but this is SUMMER/FALL and there are few Refugees inbound at the moment.

He rented it to a family of 4, Vietnamese refugees.

Now a days, you're more often hearing people complaining about Bay Area housing refugees than you are to hear people striving to move to the coast.

They were Vietnamese refugees who made it into 6 bedrooms, with two bunkbeds to a room, and rented out by the bed.

I personally hadn't given it much thought, but I did after talking to Katrina refugees who were landlords in New Orleans.

I mean we all pay taxes in some form; I would rather them be used to ensure people have a home than on corporate tax breaks, billion dollar planes that don't work, a stupid racist border wall, and as a gift to Israel so it can be used to kill Palestinian children.

I think Oak Park is taking in a lot of refugees from the great Midtown rent increase of 2015.

None of that is accounting for the 20,000 Bay Area refugees coming into Sacramento annually.

This is a bit facetious, but I like to consider the Twin Cities an ultra-long-term investment in that it's a healthy, active population with a terrific quality of life that will be a very attractive relocation target to potential climate change refugees relocating from the coasts and the south in 50-100 years.
