[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like a lot of conservatives in Florida are saying the storm is fake and planning on having hurricane parties. [/quote]

Social Darwinism. I’m oddly okay with that. [/quote]

You know the PP is lying, right?  No one is saying the storm is fake.  But the fact that you didn’t question the claim at all, and in fact, celebrated it, clearly shows who you really are.  Gross… AND stupid.[/quote]

Some people will not respect this storm and will not evacuate and will die.  That is the ugly truth.[/quote]

Play stupid games...win stupid prizes. [/quote]

This folks of this area have experienced many storms but have never actually experienced this level of direct hit.   This will be terrible.[/quote]

It absolutely will be. Untold devastation and loss of lives. Not to mention this might be the final nail in the coffin of the property and casualty market in Florida. And you think Citizens is going to pick up the slack? Sure, huge, huge assessment to all policyholders across the state. And what then? How do you even replenish your reserves if you have pay out the equivalent of the full loss ever year or every few years? The reality is, you don't because that's no longer insurance. Folks are going to start migrating away and only the rich will stay. Of course, what poor souls are going to provide the services the rich demand? I'm sad for the state I grew up in but not sad at what it's become.[/quote]

Don't you think this is just a tad dramatic?[/quote]

I am in Florida and I think it is somewhat true. We're not poor/not rich, and we are going to be leaving in a few years (have to wait it out a bit due to school). Since taxes are much lower, we are still "ahead" even with higher insurance premiums compared to a location in the NE where we lived. But how long will that be the case? And the increasing worry over hurricanes is not something sustainable. I don't want to have anxiety over whether I am going to lose my house every year for half the year. Real estate, aside from hurricanes, is outrageously expensive and people are priced out. Salaries are low. [/quote]

This was back in July but the numbers were for June. July was bad also.

[quote] Florida’s urban housing markets experienced disruptions in June, marked by a record number of home-purchase cancellations across the state’s major cities, according to a new report published by Redfin.
Orlando, Jacksonville and Tampa reported the highest home-purchase cancellation rates in the nation, according to the report’s dataset, with Orlando posting a 20.8 percent home-purchase agreements  cancellation ate, the highest rate among the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. Jacksonville and Tampa closely followed with cancellation rates of 20.5 percent each. Miami saw approximately 2,500 home-purchase agreements fall through, accounting for 17.6 percent of contracts.[/quote]
