I am really getting tired of all the talk about how all the residents in FL deserve to have thier insurance premiums doubled and tripled. Not everyone in FL lives on a sandbar or has waterfront property. There are farmers who live inland who supply a lot of this nation with their produce. There are the workers of the fields. There are a lot of working people here just like in Kansas or any other northern or non coastal state. I have seen the premiums more than double on homes that have been built to withstand a hurricane with 145mph winds. They live inland and have never filed a claim. Would all of you want everyone to leave the state of FL and every other coastal state or region? Would it not get a bit crowded? Also, almost all our citrus and lettece are grown in either FL or CA. Do you want to give that up also? All of you need to get a life. It is call SPREAD OF RISK!!! I do agree that if you live on a sandbar and your home is distroyed, you either build elsewhere or no insurance and no subsidies from the government. No ALL the people in FL deserve this. They were born and raised here trying to make a living just like everyone else.
