      Florida is a Republican state and insurance companies have left. The ongoing climate disaster and downfall of America is an unavoidable reality that all will have to deal with.

      CA is definitely NOT "climate change". Definitely the governments mishandling of the situation. Everyone knew this was going to happen, called it years ago. That's why insurance companies didn't CANCEL policies, they non-renewed them, legally it's a big difference. They all saw this years in advance, tried to tell CA and CA did nothing.
      As for Florida, climate change still doesn't apply because if you look at stats (not just the media), you'll see hurricanes haven't changed much. Insurance companies are pulling out of they're simply because they are losing money and the rates they need to charge to not lose money are too high, so they left. People want more expensive things but don't realize that when a hurricane hits, those things have to be replaced and that costs more.

    It is not really rocket science, to look at mitigation or lack of it, in the brush lands and forests. If you are an insurance company, you are there to make money….we consumers want to have a 500k house and insure it completely for $1700 a year. Also, there are so many policies and permitting obstacles……Cali is doomed.

      The Palisades area has been a fire threat since the big drought back in the 1970’s. But, when CA stopped clearing all the brush and debris in the open spaces, that’s when the insurance companies started taking notice. But, I agree that the timing is very suspect

      Totally agree with you. Health Insurance and Home Owner’s Insurance premiums are way, way to high, then, when you make a claim, the insurance companies fight it, deny claims, and even make suffering people sue them for your claims to be paid. Ridiculous that people are required to have homeowners insurance to have a mortgage. Mortgage lenders make tons of $, especially when the first 5 years of a mortgage, almost all of your payment is going towards interest. Scams - all of them. IMHO

    There should be a moratorium of how big a single house after a fire can be in a burnout area like LA and other places in California. Keep the single housing under 3000 Sq. Ft. and use non-combustible materials on roofs and siding. Build more apartments because we have a housing shortage everywhere.
    The State of CA should have a Fire Fund Insurance program for the entire state for which everyone pays into ... This would keep Insurance for Profit to disappear completely from the state of California. Everything seems to be "For Profit" these days and it has to end. You all know the Fire situation in CA can strike anywhere without notice. It could be in anyone's backyard- wealthy and or not wealthy and strike at any time.
