JC finds new way to scr*ew Florida taxpayers on homeowner's insurance

“Or people will learn to build hurricane resistant buildings.”

It’s funny if you look at the houses they were building in Florida in the 1950’s they were low, concrete block structures. Perfect for hurricanes, except for the surge of the ocean. Then they seemed to forget that. Now they are building homes on Stilts, perfect for the surge of the ocean but not so well for the winds. They did build a community that has done well with hurricanes, but it isn’t on the ocean.

The problem with Florida is that the highest point in the state is 345 feet. That will be problematic for any home in FLorida.
