Reply #78: true, they told me i must stay with allstate and can never switch to geico

[pitohui]

this must be more common than you think, i live in a hurricane area and i cannot ever change my car insurance or i will lose my right to buy homeowner's insurance

this was a deal struck by state gov't in order to get any insurers to remain in the state at all after katrina


so it's allstate or nothing in my neighborhood

people are pretty naive these days if they don't realize that federal mandates pretty much control all of the realities of life, we have not lived in the "land of the free" in my lifetime
