We pay ridiculous rates in the Villages because insurers are allowed to use those of us who live 80 miles from the nearest hurricane storm surge to subsidize the rates for people who insist on living on an island in Tampa.
If you drive a Toyota, you don't pay Corvette insurance rates. But buy a house in the Villages, and you're stuck buying fake insurance from a no-name Florida company, just to get the same rate they're charging some idiot living in a beach house at sea level.
Write your Congressman and demand that people who live on the beach pay for their own damned hurricane risks and leave us alone!
