Wifey and I toured - by way of Camry - pretty much the entire Gulf Coast from Corpus to Fort Myers, and then over to Ft. Pierce and up thru Jax this past May and June......once we got over the Lovebug phenomenon, we’d muse along the way about how we hoped we don’t have to moan about how these “were” once beautiful areas.
No telling what would happen from a nasty storm these days with the economy in the tank, and Florida property insurance in worse trouble. Florida has a state insurance pool that was originally established as the property insurance of last resort. Eventually, it was competing with private property insurance carriers, who then folded or pulled out of the state. Of course, the state fund (Citizens) is woefully underfunded.
Other than that, Obama's Health Care debacle has nothing to learn from Florida's property insurance experience.
