Written by a former Florida state legislator who voted against the policies creating this crisis, The Next Paradigm reveals how 8.1 million Floridians now live in hurricane zones with $3.2 trillion in property exposure that cannot be sustainably insured. Every day, 550 more people move into harm's way while Citizens Property Insurance grows beyond any ability to pay claims.
What you'll discover:
· Why every "solution" Florida tries makes the crisis worse
· How Citizens Property Insurance operates as a legalized Ponzi scheme
· The psychology preventing smart people from acknowledging obvious risks
· Mathematical proof that current development patterns guarantee market failure
· Detailed action plans for property owners, businesses, and policymakers
· International case studies proving managed adaptation works
Why do insurance companies flee states with perfect hurricane tracking while staying in earthquake zones? Why do premiums spike after quiet years? The answer isn't in the weather—it's in the rulebook.
When Hurricane Andrew devastated Florida in 1992, the insurance market adapted and recovered. But when politicians began changing the rules—freezing rates, extending deadlines, rewriting coverage after storms hit—capital didn't just retreat; it ran. Today, Florida homeowners pay the price: premiums that have tripled, insurers that keep leaving, and a state-run insurer of last resort that has become the largest in the market.
The Capital Drain shows how:
Well-meaning political "fixes" create more problems than hurricanes ever could
Simple principles from ancient Babylon and biblical Joseph offer better solutions than modern financial engineering
Florida's insurance crisis is a warning for every state facing climate risks
Markets can price any storm, but they can't price political chaos
Florida’s insurance crisis is more than rising premiums — it is a system of hidden risk, post-event debt, and policies that pass today’s costs to tomorrow’s families. In The High Cost of Hidden Risk: Why Florida’s Insurance Crisis Can’t be Fixed Without Facing Reality, former Florida legislator and insurance expert Don D. Brown reveals how short-term fixes like subsidies and borrowing leave homeowners, taxpayers, and future generations vulnerable.
With clarity and authority, Brown examines the policy failure of HB1A, the systemic risks of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, and the cascading costs of post-event funding. He contrasts Florida’s approach with international models — from Japan’s earthquake resilience to the Caribbean’s parametric insurance pool — proving that pre-event funding, Code Plus construction standards, and actuarial transparency are the only sustainable solutions.
