      Going to play devil's advocate here. And no, I do not work for the housing insurance industry.
      The primary purpose of home insurance is to protect against catastrophic events. If homeowners focused less on insuring smaller issues and instead set aside funds for those repairs, the insurance industry might operate more efficiently. Issues like a broken A/C or a roof leak, while costly, are not typically catastrophic. By putting money aside for these expenses rather than relying on insurance, homeowners could potentially reduce their premiums and ensure that their coverage is reserved for significant, unforeseen events.

      Or maybe buy a condo or townhome where the HoA fees should cover leaking roofs, parking spot repair, and other stuff. Some also cover A/C issues (not all).

      The charge of the 1980s Republican Tax Brigade evolved wealth status through Reaganomics. Less personal income tax and capital gains tax meant the wealthy afforded less to infrastructure. More taxes expected from the middle&lower class to maintain infrastructure; not wealthy zip codes.
      Then Citizens United augmented Republican charged corporations to influence peddle mass & social media, entertainment ideas, voting process and buy political candidates.
      We have to live in a devolving social setting where rising to another level of incompetence means the public accepts the converted dolt idiom.
      Here in 2008 Illinois, the Governor was accused of influence peddling trying to sell the US Senate seat vacated by Obama.

      What I want to know is what happens to the money when governor, mayor, or President declares disaster before or after a storm or event? Someone gets tax money, is it insurance companies? If so, they are made whole after paying claims, but we get hit with higher premiums or no longer insured/insurable. Plus with companies raising deductibles to 2-5% it's like not being insured, just throwing money at insurance companies for the paper that doesn't cover anything. We can't afford to pay taxes, pay premiums, pay for repairs and get no benefit from any of the above. Plus insurance companies no longer writing policies in some states for some policies, takes out competition and premiums go out of control.

    I had a commercial building with hail damage. A very large building and $1M damage. I had all the documentation/inspection that showed the building was fine when the insurance was taken out, and then harmed. The insurance company decided since it was over $10K (insurance was $50K year w/$40K deductible), they went through 3 inspection reports and we ended up suing. We had to find a gunslinger lawyer in Chicago (expensive) that made them settle for $800K after 2 1/2 years, then paid the lawyers 1/2. So we ended up trying to fix the roof with 1/2 the money. Weather insurance is definitely a scam.

    One thing I did when my house was damaged in 2020 for Hurricane Sally was use a public adjuster after the insurance adjuster assessed my damage. I was able to get my insurance to cover most of the damage once it was all over. It took almost a year from when the claim was made. Using the public adjuster was very helpful in my situation. I didn't have to deal with the insurance myself which was relatively stress free.

      I can imagine it was far less stressful than dealing with the insurance company yourself. I have had a couple claims on houses I owned. It was very stressful but I did get everything fixed but I had to educate myself on building and stuff. These days I fear having a claim.
      Especially car insurance. It’s illegal not to have car insurance in Minnesota. I have full coverage but I know the insurance company will screw me at the end. It used to be your insurance protected you. Now they just screw you over and then raise your premiums.
      State Farm canceled my home and car insurance after I was hit by a drunk. Minnesota and Florida are “no fault” states so you are responsible for the payout to yourself. It is far more costly to the consumer than regular insurance in other states.

Also, with no insurance, you’ll be liable for anything that happens on your property. So if someone slips and falls, be prepared to pay if they sue you. Good luck!! 😊

    I totally agree with you. Thank you for sharing valuable information with us. In 2023 someone rear-ended my car and it was very small damage that would cost about $1500 to fix. The insurance company for the party at fault denied my claim and said that by law they were not obligated to tell me why it was denied. I I then learned if I put a claim through my own insurance company, it would cause my insurance to go up. So pretty much in many situations we are left on our own even though it is a valid claim and we are paying our monthly bill. This is fraud.

Somehow the water was dripping down the walls to the baseboards. They tried to say/convince me that the water came up from the ground and wanted to call it flood damage which it was not!

      Can you say more about this? Are you saying the homeowner can simply walk away, legally, just by telling the bank to go ahead and take the damaged home? The bank won't come after the homeowner for the balance of the loan after subtracting the now lower value of the damaged home? Please say more!

    Here is a little quote that makes sense by a 20th century philosopher: "What needs to be guaranteed is that one's economic destiny is not managed by men who hate and who will not be comfortable until all other men are slaves."

    We got a full payout for damage to our mobile home from Hurricane Ian. Within 90 days we got sufficient funds from Citizens to pay for a new carport, workshop, membrane roof, repairs to the Florida room, siding on the exterior walls, and 2 rooms with damage to paneling.

    This is a true story. I have been with Allstate for over 20 years and all my policies are with them. Anyway I had to have six large trees removed (some were diseased) and I hired a reputable company but called the insurance company to find out if a worker was injured on my property or something went wrong (a tree falling outside my property into the commercial property behind my fence what my insurance coverage was. She gave me some advice and then said to me "we have to put in your file that you called us and that could be a negative." Our entire country is in a state of collapse!

      On the good side, you have $25k in a slush fund for repairs if you get damage from storms.
      We're paying cash for having a custom builder do our house, and we will not have homeowners insurance.
      Additionally, we will have a $20k slush fund for emergency, and we will add money to that fund every year.

      I had this guy rear end me. His car was stuck on top of my trailer hitch. I took pictures. The guy who hit me simply said he didn’t hit me and the insurance company wasn’t going to pay. I had full coverage. Finally I had a friend call and say he was a witness that was at the coffee shop on the corner and saw the Lyft guy rear end me. Then insurance finally covered it. The police even came to the site of the accident and gave me a report. If I ever hit someone and my cars in pretty good condition still I’m just gonna say I never hit that person. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
