@Lindaworkerbee Funny; one would think that a states governor would work at finding a solution to this, as it affects so much of the citizenry and economy. But of course, Florida elected .
So best of luck to

State Farm, the largest U.S. home insurer, is dropping coverage for thousands of customers in California and Florida. These states face increased risks of wildfires and hurricanes due to climate change. The move could leave many homeowners without affordable insurance options and force them to relocate or rebuild.

Guardian article on in (although, IMHO, the author very incorrectly ties the housing crisis into the issues here... the wildland-urban interface is not cheaper to live in, and it's not cheap housing at risk due to wildfires) theguardian.com/commentisfree/

Anyone know why & now pulled out of the home market entirely, instead of just jacking up premiums on the highest-risk policies?

A 4-BR in The Sunset or a high-rise in downtown LA don't have *zero* exposure, but it's nowhere near what an exburban mcmansion or rural farmhouse would have, right?

Is there something about that means they're exposed regardless? The state-run FAIR plan mentioned at the end here?

to stop accepting homeowners insurance applications in due to wildfires, construction costs

State Farm General Insurance Company on Friday announced that it will stop accepting new homeowners insurance applications in California.

The company cited "rapidly growing" catastrophe risks like wildfires, "historic increases" in construction costs and a challenging reinsurance market.

In de politiek kun je blijven ruziën over het klimaat. Verzekeraars hebben daar geen enkele boodschap aan. Als het risico te groot wordt, is het niet meer te verzekeren.

"Wall Street Journal:
is stopping the sale of new home-insurance policies in effective Saturday, because of wildfire risk and rapid inflation in construction costs."

And even if you have insurance, getting them to pay up is not a sure thing. adjusters, for example, lied to us recently, and are continually dragging their feet and slow-walking our claims, and we don't live anywhere near a coastline. As an industry, property insurance is liable to fail en masse.

This article is important and everyone should read it. I'm going to post excerpts of it.

If you have insurance for anything, perhaps drop them a note to let them know you're disappointed and reconsidering your policies based on them letting conservative hacks bully them into neutrality on hate and violence against our communities. Neutrality=endorsement.

I find it ironic that State Farm doesn't insure farms and farm equipment. Oh, they can come up with a quote (like they did for our tractor) but their list of scenarios deemed "not covered" were all the things that could happen to you on a farm.

We ended up going with Kubota's recommended insurance company. Their list of "covered" nearly mirrored State Farm's "not covered".

Come on, State Farm. Honor the "Farm" in your name. Geez.

The wind here is crazy this morning, so our roof is probably going to be damaged further.

denied our claim for the hail damage on the roof, so since our cars also have obvious hail dents I'm going to file claims for that, even though it's not worth it, just to establish there was hail and it did damage. has taken premiums from us for 30 years. Now they're treating us like this b/c they're too cheap to pay claims honestly.

All ins companies are bad, but is run by right wing nutjobs who screw the elderly - and also are ok with their agents abusing their software to doxx women at abortion clinics. (As was widely reported.)

I recommend if you have insurance you switch, no matter how many policies you have. They are dishonest. The adjuster who came to the house said clearly to us he could see the hail damage. Then filed a report saying there wasn't any.

May the Heavenly Court curse his lying ass. May climate collapse kill too.
