High insurance costs are giving people living close to the Gulf a hint. Will state government get the hint?
In Florida Keys, structures now built on stilts(8-10 feet high) Saw pictures in Big Bend area and houses were on 3-4 foot stilts. How much money did the builders give to the people who control building codes?
