Inflation has to do with it as well. The more expensive materials and repairs get, the higher the insurance payout will be.

Yea, but at least you get a piece of paper for the insurance renewal....

My opinion is that “gouging” is an imaginary offense invented by socialists to sell their bad ideas. If there’s a free market, you can’t get more than the market price for long.

My own insurance is up for renewal soon. If the insurance company offers to raise the price a lot I will certainly shop around. But that disagreeable offer would still be better than them just cancelling my policy and walking away.

I don’t suppose that anyone has considered that housing costs and construction costs have increased substantially over the last few years

Your house goes form being worth 400K to 900K and the cost of insurance is gonna go up if the insurance company wants to remain viable.

My comment was based on the statements from someone who apparently lives/works in Florida. See door #42.☺

That post does not accurately reflect the situation I see in the Florida panhandle when I go there for business purposes.

Florida is a huge State.

Well, my buddy and his wife who moved there 8 years ago would disagree with you, as well as the person at #42. Visiting there and living there I would imagine are two very different things.

OK ... so there’s a lot of room between “run like a swiss watch” and “worse than a third-world dump”.

Where would your buddy put it?

Just go with the Alf Landon strategy: We are not even going to try to do anything.

Democrats pay back their supporters.

Repubs punish their own supporters to show their political virtue.

Read the comments from the deSantis haters.

You’ll know them by their refusal to spell his name correctly ... a sure sign of an inferior mind.

Misspelling a politicians name and alleging DeSantis haters say, "The state is run worse than the worst third-world dump" are two very different things.

No?

Three major insurance companies have now left CA. Farmers, All State, and another one.

FR is bigger than this thread.

No, I’m not going to look up every Trump/deSantis thread and link you to every nasty remark the deSantis-haters have ever posted going back to November 2022 when deSantis hate suddenly became fashionable.

If you haven’t noticed it yourself by this time, I’d say that’s your problem.

Now ... you’ll probably reply that I’m FOS, and you won the debate, blahblahblah. Enjoy.

That’s what the leftist and the media do every day...They make wild claims but when asked to back it up with some proof, they run for the tall grass.
