I hear the pemits are more expensive in florida so that might be a factor. It seems to be about demand mostly. If there is no shortage of people paying it, they will keep charging it.
this is wise advice, put it in a money market account at 4 to 5% interest. it's what I plan to do. And when I do replace it I'm gonna stick with a 25 year shingle instead of the more expensive 50 year.
