In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

" Perhaps the cost of insurance in certain areas should be subsidized by the utilities or the government? The policy justification would be that universal basic honeowner's coverage, like universal basic medical insurance, is desirable for lots of reasons.

Nevada is one of the driest states. Decades ago, we aggressively began our conservation programs to use water more efficiently. We pulled landscaping front and back of the house and replaced it with rock etc. These areas need to be rebuilt with fire risks as a top priority if homeowners expect affordable insurance, with high deductibles.
