I’ll see your drunken mayor, and raise you mine. He lives a few doors down from me. He’s currently suspended from office (thankfully).
He has a very serious illness of alcoholism. Hopefully he’s in treatment. I haven’t seen him in months. His family has been keeping a very low profile. I suspect they may be in the process of moving away from here.
Read the article, but this originally started on election night 2018. He blamed our own PD of racism and targeting him specifically iirc. He was drunk. The latest included a firearm and a suspended license.

Doesn’t Ogden of some sort of run of the mill ticket quota system? Whether they call it that or not doesn’t matter.

All I know is, if it were the old me…Ogden would be in competition with Florida.

How soon until the Florida coastal towns are uninsurable? 2-3, 5 years?
Next hurricane centered to hit Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater area Wednesday night.

I am surprised none of these people that are in known flooding areas haven’t signed up for the National Flood Insurance Program. The Feds (FEMA) a long time ago made it a mandate that communities had to develop a flood ordinance and join NFIP.
That said, I don’t believe private P&C is going to want to touch insuring these places anymore. Short answer, their profitability desires can’t afford the risk.

I’m not sure what the issue is. This all just means more beachfront property will be available (according to some very, very stupid people).

Florida beach property is already not insurable. Your tax dollars make up the difference. Congrats.
I take that back- your tax dollars would make up the difference if the country were solvent. The money that the feds print on your behalf (debasing any savings you may have) makes up the difference.
