my homeowners insurance doubled and then the company left the state. Until I replace the roof I can't get new coverage, and perhaps not even then. The situation is due to a conjunction of three catastrophes, anthropogenic climate change, callous and ineffective Republican state government, and the fact that insurance fraud is one of the largest industries in the state. "A sunny state for shady people."
