DeSantis’ New Insurance Law Could Make It Harder to Rebuild After Hurricane Idalia

The legislation makes it difficult to sue insurance companies for short-changing policyholders.

The sweeping revisions make it more difficult for homeowners to sue their property insurance companies for acting in “bad faith” and remove the right of homeowners to recover attorney’s fees, even in lawsuits they ultimately win.

How Ron DeSantis Let Billionaires Destroy Florida

"Florida Governor and U.S. presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has raked in millions of dollars—and even a golf simulator—from wealthy corporate interests. At the same time, he’s stripped protections from renters, let insurance & utility companies hike rates, and cut taxes on the wealthy. Jason Garcia exposes his real record."

How #Florida let a top insurer abandon #homeowners in their time of greatest need https://wapo.st/3q9GlnD

Expect homeowner's insurance to increase MORE than last year. Four companies aren't writing new business in Texas. Your monthly escrow payments are reconciled in March, but the tax is due the following October. The new rate is set in November and the cycle repeats. If your bill goes up, the payment is NOT changed. You end up with a escrow deficit. Call your ins co. and make sure your payment will cover your bill. Thank me later. :)

abstract from "Managed retreat: a nationwide study of the local, racially segmented resettlement of homeowners from rising flood risks":

"The government-funded retreat of homeowners from flood-prone housing is a globally ascendant policy of climate adaptation. Yet, we still know relatively little about some fairly basic questions involving its participants: e.g. How much risk do homeowners tolerate before retreating? Where do they move? Does that move reduce their future flood risk? And, to what extent do answers to these questions vary by the type of racial and ethnic communities in which they live? To answer these questions, we combine novel address-to-address residential history data with future flood risk estimates and indices of local context to better understand how retreat is unfolding across the United States. Results indicate that, when voluntarily undertaken, retreat is a highly local process that yields notable reductions in household flood risk. These movements, however, are racially
segmented, with homeowners in majority-White communities being more likely to stay in the face of higher risk and less likely to relocate to nearby areas that are not also majority-White."

My property insurance rate just went up 5% because in #WashingtonState, courts recently overturned a law prohibiting #Homeowners #Insurance companies from using consumer #Credit reports to calculate risk.

In the renewal letter, #Progressive apologized for having to inform me of this, but made no apology for the rate increase.

If my costs went up 5% because of my credit score, I wonder how much it went up for others?

Are any of you Washington state folks seeing similar increases?

Excellent article. We've grown to 1.2M regular users! I left the blue bird last fall and love it here. Seems Meta and Jack Dorsey are each introducing decentralized social media networks soon - so if Mastodon's struggling so much, why is it being copied? Seems fine to me.
