With this setup, I assume at least some of her neighbors either can't afford the fee and/or insurance, or choose not to pay one or either.<br />Insurance companies factor in all sorts of things when they determine rates - would the percentage of the population of a community that chooses not to participate in basic fire protection affect rates in the area, or the state, or the country?<br />If your near neighbors can't or won't take care of their own protection, your home is at greater statistical risk. You might get to pay higher insurance rates due to your neighbor's decision, because insurance companies aren't in the business of making your life cheaper or easier.Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-1561007447879946652012-06-16T20:29:40.045-05:002012-06-16T20:29:40.045-05:00or is it that you want someone else to pay, just n...or is it that you want someone else to pay, just not her and especially not you?<br /><br />Well forthwith- I expect you to pay for everyone who has financial needs.
