It's not virtue signaling, that is a poor argument not based in reality. This article
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hurrica...mes-insurance/ which is linked in the first one shows inflation adjusted claims going back over 40 years, so while prices have gone up over 40 years, the graph shows that accounting for inflation storms have gotten worse and so has flooding. An insurance company only cares about one thing, money. They aren't virtue signaling by leaving Florida, they are leaving because it isn't economically viable. You really think an insurance company would just up and leave a state, giving up billions in profits just to make a point? They, along like GM only care about one thing and that is making money. They're going to make it anyway they can, and that includes leaving states and making cars that only a handful of people buy. It sucks for those that live in Florida or that enjoy enthusiast cars but its the reality of business.
