Here's what gets me. I live 76' above sea level, on the mainland side of the Canal, but in Barnstable County. I have to go thru the assigned risk FAIR plan for homeowners. I'm in a high risk coastal flood zone even though I'm 3 miles away from Cape Cod Bay. If I lived another mile north, in Plymouth County, I'd be an "acceptable risk", even if I was 20' above sea level and a quarter mile from Buttermilk Bay, which is where my mother's cottage is situated.

Why even bother regulating insurers when they can just make a blanket exclusion of an entire county without regard to how far the property is from the ocean and how high above sea level it is?

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
