Moving to Florida ?
ChadTower:
I used to live in FL... there is a reason Fark gave Florida its own category.

Or go to Detroit. There you can buy a house for 100$:

It's pretty much mandatory that if you have a mortgage and live in an area that gets hurricanes, that you pay for hurricane insurance.
Excluding certain cities, most of the housing prices in the Midwest US haven't fallen. Granted, they haven't gone up lately but they've held their value. Our house has been on the market for about 45 days or so and we've already had one offer and another party ready to make an offer. But, you couldn't pay me to live in Detroit....

Come to Oklahoma. I just bought a pretty nice 1200 ft² home for $42,500. Tornadoes aren't near as big as hurricanes, they just hurt more if you get stung. (I'm from Houston, so I've been through both) ;D

Depending where at in FL the insurance company will DEMAND you put in hurricane windows if they are to cover you.
Those are not cheap by the way, not at all, I mean they are suck ass expensive.
Also many insurance companies went under & couldn't pay out so certain counties have actually sort of in a round about way put a form of insurance into the property taxes they inflated....its not upfront though, its almost like a "bailout" fund they collect for the next failure of insurance.
weird huh?

That was part of the joke. My post wasn't meant to be serious, plus I knew you'd show up and give your opinion sooner or later.
