It has "forced" everyone that has insurance no matter if it's homeowners or auto to help pay for the few to live where they shouldn't. Sounds a lot like communism to me.

The use of "Citizens Property Insurance" is for those who were unable to obtain insurance from a private vendor. When a "private vendor" offers a policy to those current customers of "Citizens Property Insurance" and these customers reject the newly offered policy, then these customers should no longer get subsidized rates from Citizens Property Insurance" as "Citizens Property Insurance" is no longer a "last resort option". Many of those policy being maintained by the State are considered "risky" properties. I shouldnt be required to continue to subsidize those who opt to either build or rebuild in "risky" areas. If you can afford waterfront or other "risky areas" you should be able to afford your own insurance.
