    The Insurance Information Institute has some additional information specifically about the FL insurance markets, as well as other geographic areas, etc. https://www.iii.org/article/triple-i-issues-briefs One of the FL specific papers singled out inflation/cost of replacement - as the #1 reason...

    Home insurance in Florida is out of control!

    "Gov. DeSantis and the Fla legislature are doing nothing about the problem!" This is untrue. Completely. Just a little bit of research yields the reasons for the premium increases - but those in FL, I find, already understand this. There are no revelations to share here, but in case anyone...

    Retail theft and store closings

    Totally agree. I think the WABC shows are fantastic and paint a very accurate picture of life in the NYC area, IME. Curtis Sliwa always has accurate information to share as he is frequently in the streets and sees what the news reports, thru rose colored glasses.

    wireless mesh router?

    If his Cat5 has 4 pairs, there is little reason why it won't handle gig speeds. 100BT was the max for 2 pair STP cable. Most Cat5 met Cat5e specs, despite not being certified as such. I installed dozens of miles of both and beyond, in hospitals - for more than a decade. You can drive a truck...

    Retail theft and store closings

    Amen. +1 for broken windows policing and +1 for 3 strikes laws (as others have mentioned). Both of proved positive. The bail reforms are already producing their intended results, IME.

    wireless mesh router?

    If I were in your shoes, my money would go here: https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/mesh/rbke962/ Covers up to 6k sqft (but they cover up to 9K if needed, you just buy more satellite devices). Finding a quality mesh system w/o some type of subscription is becoming difficult. They are wising up...

    Walmart reviews

    It is quite an eye opener when one digs into what credit card companies are doing your data. Buying gift cards online and using those for purchases - is a great way to minimize their creep.

    Retail theft and store closings

    You missed the point by a country mile. Read my other post with the ACTUAL press release from TGT. Not a word about inflation... Because it's not the cause. Take it from their mouth, not mine. Granted, there are plenty of other issues with TGT that have caused their stock/business to tank...

    Inappropriate Hugging?

    [MOD EDIT] I think that if one sees something inappropriate, they have a duty to say something - provided you're in a safe environment/situation to do so. Otherwise, I think it makes one arguably complicit in the act.

    Schwab has them and Fidelity should have them also. Rates got better as the day went on and after 4pm today, there were multiple 5.65% monthly payers available. Added them to my ladder. All were 5yr terms and eligible for auto-rollover into new CDs when they mature. CUSIPs: 063330AG9 , 85511RBQ4

    Low risk investment for 900K Help

    CD's that pay monthly, might be an easy way to get that reliable monthly income you want. I just bought several monthly paying CDs w/yields of 5.5-5.6% that don't mature for 5 and 6 year terms. They are FDIC insured up to 250K and easily found at major brokerages.

    Well that's a different take... Can you speak towards the type of environments all 9 of these stores are geographically located in - as in, anything in common with those environments? Inflation is identified by BLS charts to specifically be worse in those particular areas? I'm struggling to...
