Kantor said his premium had gone up by $1,900 “for no reason.”
Pretty sure the reason is you live on a major hurricane zone in an era of climate change making storms stronger and more frequent.
I’ve watched my premiums go way up here in the Great Lakes, too, not coincidentally right after the South is hit by a major hurricane.
Sorry, I have zero sympathy. I’ve seen many leave my rust belt city whining about cold weather. But we have water, we have no hurricanes, few tornadoes, and way cheaper housing.
While their governor denies climate change and refuses federal money to help fight it.
These are the people who reject the idea of climate change and demand we do nothing about it. They can’t now start acknowledging it’s the cause of this thing they hate. They’d rather down.
I find this kind of article really poor, the topic is kinda interesting but I have no idea:
- How much are premium higher than neighboring states?
- How many people are actually leaving?
- Why is it higher?
- Did desantis actually “already acted”?
They also included a long passage from a retired, widowed naval officer that had very little to do with the article. I read what she wrote and can’t figure out what she wanted the Federal government to do. She felt that the country owes her and her family for their service, but what? And why would they be more deserving than other citizens who serve in other ways? It felt like they needed to reach a certain word.count so they threw it in there.
Dunno how many are fleeing the state, but my neighbor is an insurance broker, and people are losing their homes. There’s a lot of fixed income people in Florida that have no way to cover the higher premiums.
Climate change? Nah, it’s those math guys that are the problem!
