I'm not sure that the resorts can be appropriately blamed for skyrocketing insurance rates. They don't set those rates and they have no say into those rates. They just have to pay them ---- and guess who those costs will ALWAYS be passed right along to?

That said, I for one would like to see any resort HOA at which I own "time" identify and itemize the resorts' insurance and repair costs ---clearly, in writing, and on an annual basis.

Although I personally have NO particular use for the entire insurance industry in general, if I was in their shoes I wouldn't want to underwite ANYTHING in the coastal southeastern U.S. It's a known, recurring risk which I simply would be unwilling to take. I would have said that exact same thing BEFORE Charley or Katrina.
