Got the car insurance quote for when I move out of South Florida to the Wilmington, NC area.
It's going from $300.00 month to $87.00 month!!
Florida is soooo screwed up. Costing more & more to live here every year.

GOP and FLA Leadership...Creating problems that only preset solutions can fix.
@Madken65 @VictoriaLandis1 And fighting with the Saviour of the state, losing a substantial financial investment so Desantis could pretend to be taller.
DeSatan is one weird little man.
@VictoriaLandis1 @Madken65 Yeah Italian politicians blow, Guiliani, Desantis, two Cuomo's and more.
Well, those you listed do, for sure. But I can't go along with all Italian politicians. I've known some pretty upright, good ones with Italian blood.
@VictoriaLandis1 @Madken65 I'm casting those aspersions from a 96% viewpoint, but I get your point. There's another NYC mayor I'm forgetting who was also an embarrassment. Put my mom in there, wooden spoons will be broken!
Few people know there's a law in FL that requires ALL insurance cos to pitch into any shortfalls that Citizens experiences - no matter what kind of insurance it is. Hence such expensive rate hikes.
@VictoriaLandis1 The insurance companies are doing it to all of us, NY to the south, I've talked to my friends about it.
@MidnightRider @VictoriaLandis1
IMO, all these corporations are just setting the conditions for Trump's return, thinking they will ride this imagined largesse into astronomical profitability (like they don't have that now), and not fully realizing they will be discarded when no longer needed, just like all the rest of his discarded former followers.
@Madken65 @VictoriaLandis1 They won't be affected by elections, they give with both fists as a "sacrifice to the gods" via the corrupt lobby. They are election proof.
@VictoriaLandis1
Florida lawmakers are bought and paid for by big business lobbyists.
Several years back the Insurance industry wanted deregulations to "promote competition and lowering prices".
The result? Smaller insurers forced out of business and prices rocketing due to less underwriters; and corporate profits.
@VictoriaLandis1 are you buying a house or renting up there? What’s the prop insurance differential if buying a house?
I’m just under 6k now. After I retire I’d have to dock away at least 1k a month to cover prop insurance and prop taxes( house will be paid off before I retire)
I'm renting. But my ex (the good one) moved up there last year from Boca Raton. He's got twice the size house, with sooo many more features, and now pays less than half of what he paid in property insurance in Boca.
He was at $6,800.00 in Boca. His 2800 sf house now in Wilmington is $2,700.00 a year now.
Also, my renter's insurance dropped in half, too!
@VictoriaLandis1: Wilmington's nice. My mom's side of the family is from there, all the way back to the late 1600s. All of them were coastal fisherfolk and farmers. My aunt and cousins live in Southport. I was up there a LOT when I was growing up.
I'm very much looking forward to the move. I've been in South Florida for 25 years, the last 6 in Key Largo. And while it SOUNDS exotic to live here, the truth is - it's not so great day-to-day. Beautiful and warm, yes, but only one road through town, soooo many tourists every day, and no Target, WalMart, Lowe's, or any other type of real store. We have a huge Publix, a Winn Dixie, and a Beall's Outlet. That's it.
Oh, and 3 Dollar Stores. A bunch of tiny, expensive 'boutiques', too. But we have really good restaurants, especially fish. No big chains, except for fast food.
@VictoriaLandis1 It's a testament to Florida's stellar governance, leadership and citizenry. And the effects of the GW that doesn't exist.
