Not sure about these increases, but livable structure below the 100 year flood line will trigger a huge insurance increase. Fully elevated homes are done that way because otherwise insurance costs would be prohibitive. Other building methods and materials (like HardiPlank) also cut insurance costs.

I don't see how this adds structural support.

Properly installed HardiePlank and similiar siding is substantialy more durable than vinyl siding. Brick, stone, and other siding can be even stronger.
