Reply #5: That's Why I left South Florida

[Bryn]

I had to sell my beautiful double-wide mobile home that was in a very lovely tropical gated community close to the Keys because of CITIZENS. When I first bought my new house, insurance was only around $349 per year...lasted for 5 years until two years ago then rate went up to $1,449, then went up to $2,128 last September. There was no way I could afford it so I sold it and left, moved to Arkansas 4 months ago. I feel so sorry for people down there having to deal with State Run CITIZENS insurance which is OUTRAGEOUS! You'd think my home was a oceanfront mansion when in reality, the community for mobile homes is 10 miles away west of the ocean in Homestead/Florida City.
