Getting home insurance in Florida
By 
Is going to be increasingly difficult as the climate worsens:
Another insurer is leaving Florida, where homeowners are paying more than ever for insurance, despite the state’s attempt to shore up the wobbling market.
On Tuesday, Farmers Insurance informed the state it was dropping home, auto and umbrella policies across Florida, potentially affecting tens of thousands of people. It’s the fourth company to leave the Florida market in the last year — most citing rising risks from hurricanes. Farmers, a large company with a national presence, also has reduced new business in California, citing extreme weather and wildfire threats.
“This business decision was necessary to effectively manage risk exposure,” the company wrote in a statement.
Fortunately the state can make up for it with its long tradition of competent, active government and…sorry, I mean Florida Republicans are going to be asking for a LOT of federal bailouts over the coming decades.
