When Jeb Bush was Governor he cut a lot of government programs. He wanted welfare reformed totally and ssi and ssdi to be privatized. The new governor is almost the same way. Things may have changed with the housing crisis, but I doubt it. The houses that have picture not shown don't exist. The ones that do are in really bad neighborhoods.
Here is an article of how things were when Bush was in office he left in 2007 and from what I've read things haven't changed up to two years ago.
