So, I guess, in this corrupt new loony tunes world we live in, where anybody can do anything they want except for law-abiding suckers and tax payers, we're probably on the verge of "virtual" insurance, where you pay an enormous rate so that your neighbors can scam a new roof every ten years, but the fine print excludes all other actual hazards. I'm tempted to get a mortgage just so I can have someone big enough on my side to force them to sell me real insurance!

All Florida homeowners policies must include "catastrophic ground collapse" coverage, not sinkhole coverage. That coverage will only cover damage if your house has been declared condemned by the local Government. Some companies will offer an additional coverage called "sinkhole" coverage that will cover damage to your property even if it has not been condemned.
