Same with vehicle insurance. Making photo radar illegal and neutering driver training have led to increased insurance costs, which is really just throwing money away, but that's hard to work out as well.


I'm sure better building standards and banning vinyl siding on new construction in hail areas would lead to lower insurance costs for everyone as well.


All these bad policy decisions lead to increased cost of living, but you don't really see it as a line item.
Yeah, I used some fuzzy math, but I've kind of pegged that one at $300M my AI roughly estimated it at $90M/year mostly to municipalities, which is just an AI estimate so grain of salt, but not nothing.

And regarding insurance, energy cost..... I didn't really even dig into how the UPC has driven cost of living up artificially, just wait until the start running all of the low income foreigners out, then we'll see what happens to the cost of living.
