Can I come to your house and break your windows, maybe light your garage on fire, and flood your basement? Do you care if I hotwire your car and go crash into a telephone poll?
No big deal, right? Insurance will cover it.
It's all good. Don't sweat that deductable. Don't worry about rate increases. Insurance is just going to cover all of these costs, where no one has to worry at all. It's free money. No one is really finanically harmed other than these enormous insurances companies.
Give me a freaking break, dude. I know you're smarter than this.
I have had damage done to my home and rental property before by both individuals and natural causes. I had the damages repaired and and went on with my life.
I have had my car destroyed by another person hitting it, but I actually bought another one and kept on driving instead of walking for the rest of my life.
I never said the damage does not matter. I am just saying that people will not abandon the city because of it. Look at the coastal cities that get destroyed by hurricanes. They don't become ghost towns. People rebuild and go back to the same life as before.
