The skyrocketing cost of insurance premiums in Florida is leading residents to drop their insurance, consider selling their home, and even move out of the state, according to recent reports.

For years now, the sunny, vibrant state has been a magnetic destination for many Americans—a phenomenon which has been driving up demand for housing, especially during the pandemic, as well as home prices.

    I'd build a 3d printed house that is on a raised slab in Florida and in Cali. Anything out of wood would be a waste

      In California you'd largely be fine as long as you take care to have land around your house and keep it defensible. A lot of the fires that get into towns are because those recommendations and regulations get ignored in favor of trying to live in a forest as much as possible.

      Alternatively just build it dirt cheap and expect to rebuild every year. Disposable housing, the real american way.
