The skyrocketing cost of insurance premiums in Florida is leading residents to drop their insurance, consider selling their home, and even move out of the state, according to recent reports.

For years now, the sunny, vibrant state has been a magnetic destination for many Americans—a phenomenon which has been driving up demand for housing, especially during the pandemic, as well as home prices.

But while Florida was the number one state in the country that people moved to in 2022, it was also the one with the highest number of residents wanting to relocate, according to a SelfStorage.

It's a good thing their Republican Leaders are working hard to help them with this issue.

Obviously woke insurance companies are to blame!

The weather doesn't listen to legislators.

Won't stop them from trying! The general assembly in NC literally outlawed taking ocean rise into account for determining insurance rates 🤣

Capitalists being evil but not stupid, I'd expect insurance companies to start refusing to do business in the state.

I know I read some story about an Emperor who tried to prove he could order the tides and drowned.
