It’s interesting that insurance companies will pay to rebuild a house located below sea level in New Orleans. But if you live in Monroe County Florida they won’t pay to rebuild your first floor…
I lived in Key Largo for 12 years and if we had flood or storm surge damage to our first floor from a hurricane, we were not covered by our insurance. And FEMA made it clear they had no intention of helping.
Maybe it’s the demographics…
