The rise in rates isn't about increased extreme weather. It's due to increased construction and repair costs. Insurance plans have gotten more expensive because the materials and labor are much more expensive. The techno optimist take is we need to lower the supply side cost.

The upcoming hurricane season is forecasted to be absolutely brutal. We'll see what's left of the insurance market by the fall. Most Floridians are already on the state insurance option. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-2024-hurricane-season-could-be-a-dangerous-one/
