So the president can’t address dollar inflation with policy but Florida’s governor can? 
 

I suppose Newsome has some ideas?  

Double standard

3 - 15 years 

2 - 45 years

1 - 48 years

0 - 31 years

 

My expectation is current weather monitoring, measurement, and predictive systems have improved over time so measurement of storm strength should be more accurate over the last 25 to 30 years than it was prior.

So DeSantis is just screwing this up all by himself

A vote for DeSantis means a vote for ruinous  insurance costs in the US! 

 

He will ruin America! 

 

what a mess! 

Bless your heart you think that the Federal Government controls home insurance, but the Fed mainly influenced healthcare and made it rise about 400%

Soaring home insurance premiums in Florida are putting residents under unbearable financial pressure, with many telling Newsweek that they are considering leaving the state or moving somewhere cheaper within Florida.

The state has currently the most expensive home insurance premiums in the country, according to a recent report by the Insurance Information Institute. Residents are currently paying on average more than $4,200 per year compared to the national average of $1,700, according to data from Triple I.

While this is due in part to the increased risk of devastating weather events like hurricanes, other factors—including an excess of litigation and the dropping out of major insurers from the state—have contributed to the surge in premiums in recent years, for which Governor Ron DeSantis is being blamed.

Robert Kantor, a resident of Broward County, told Newsweek that he has recently lost his partner to cancer, a loss which has affected his household income. "Yet the value of my home, which I bought for $150,000 in 1988, is now valued at over $600,000," he said. "I find this ridiculous."

Kantor said that his homeowner's insurance doubled to over $7,000 last year, "with taxes at over $3,500. That's over $10,000 just to stay in my home." Earlier this week, Kantor said his premium had gone up by $1,900 "for no reason."

So, is the issue insurance rates?  or that homes are worth more, (DEMAND) in that state?  

 

Florida is still leading the nation in Net domestic migration to it. 

 

Places like Cali and New York lead the nation in people leaving.

I feel for Mr. Kantor. This is tough for seniors.

But really ... what does he find "ridiculous" about the increase in the value of his home? Or that it costs a whole lot more to insure a home that's worth 600K rather than 150K? Time to leave Florida for Buffalo.

Are you just done or what? Defending MAGA has finally broke you? 

Im old enough to remember when @B-Man quoted Pizzagate Jack saying that natural disasters in California were evidence of God’s wrath. 
Funny, Florida seems to be leading in the Wrath of God contest.

Wo, more damage, more federal aid to that state and I'm sure insurance companies are thrilled about this state

Insurance companies apply actuarial science to a market, it's not an emotional decision.  If a company can thrive, the market improves.  If the environment (regulatory, financially) offers promise, they push forward. 

 

Prayers up for the good people of Florida.
