Re: Maintenance Fees Out-Of-Sight (by R Argh R.):

It's possible that both points of view are correct: insurance rates went up, *and* some businesses are increasing fees substantially beyond the increased insurance costs.

However, after a major hurricane, insurance rate increases often exceed 100% throughout affected regions. Myrtle Beach, mentioned in the initial post, has far exceeded that. The article at http://www.topix.net/content/kri/3775430556269411968333389293290507744366 describes increases as high as 700% for condominiums and homeowner associations in the area.
