On the other hand, maybe we should rebuilding in places with catastrophic disasters on an annual basis. How long should we keep doing the same thing expecting different results?
The contractors played the uno reverse card on insurance companies. Their modus operandi is to fraudulently deny valid claims and make you sue them to get paid. Contractors said OK, let’s play that game. Good on them. If enough contractors beat the insurance companies at their own game, it may force actual oversight of the industry.
This was after private insurers started bailing out in the early 2000s when it became clear how ridiculously expensive it would be to provide hurricane insurance there.
I’m on Citizens. Every year I get a letter telling me they have the legal right to sell my policy if they find a comparable one in the private sector within 20% of what I’m paying. Every year they fail to find one. The best thing about Citizen’s is that they can’t leave the state.
Huh, it’s almost like for-profit insurance companies shouldn’t be a thing…

It’s hard to stomach bailing out people and parts of the country for events caused by a process they actively deny and lie about.
