It's a private business so I mean that's no surprise... It's not a charity organization. But the fact that they can pick and choose who to insure pretty much makes the whole business of insurance pointless, which is the main point. The fact that they are trying to make money is a given, since it's a BUSINESS.

I mean it's either that, or a FEW number of people paying exorbitant rates for their coverage so it will make sense for the insurance company to even cover them. OR mandate it across the entire state and everyone pays. Which one is "right", well that's gonna depend on each person's situation, needs, and politics. There is no right answer.

Seems like homeowners insurance could easily be included at no additional cost in property taxes. I feel like I am being punished for owning a home with the high taxes.

Let's face it, the government will insist that your home valuation is $890,000(boost tax revenue) but the insurance companies are not buying into that. What kind of moron buys a pair of sneakers for $400 when they are just a pair of sneakers? Thousands of people are paying million dollar real estate taxes on $400,000 homes.
The California insurance commissioner’s office already made a deal with said companies and we can expect to see 2-3 policy hikes this year alone. The commissioner’s office canceled a public hearing on the matter the day after cutting those deals. How do I know, a good friend is an executive with Mercury and flat out told me so!!

Los Angeles in its entirety calls for a crisis emergency declaration
Something way off with all of this.
Insurance companies are out of control. Insurance companies are the richest companies in the World and insure against high costs if disasters, that is until disaster happens and they have to cover the costs for once and they freak out ...this was the reason they collected all of everyones premiums regularly during the disaster free decades as the money grew interest. Its akin to a casino refusing pay after years of your losing money in their casino for years only to deny payout once you win big only its alot worse and tacky. The companies are to ensure replacement of items insured, afterall this is their business plan... 'Allstate' should be forced to change their name to 'SOMEstates' or 'Selected States'. Next insurance companies will see the massive loss of premiums they aren't getting now and will file bankruptcy.
I live in LA. 5 yr old paid off car, clean record, minimal miles driven for me to see a $500 price hike and 2 month up front payment on demand at renewal. Homeowners policy with same company went up $400 this year. At this rate, I'll have no choice but to sell my home and move out of California in order to afford to retire. I hate when people make every conversation about politics, but at this point...I'd vote to anyone who can regulate these big corps and bring all Americans some relief. Oh wait. ABSOLUTELY NO POLITICIAN would be willing to do that.
Whats wrong? Charging people every month is not enough when you need to pay?
I’m not sure our CA politicians are smart enough to handle this crisis.
This is Only the Beginning of this Nightmare…
I can’t even invite friends over for a party. I’d be ruined if someone got hurt and I don’t have insurance.
In areas where there is greater risk to homes, cheaper homes should be built. It's obvious. There is no sense in over-investing where your investment is at great risk. More focus should be on containing costs, and more of the build cost should be focused on resiliency features rather than convenience or luxury features. Failure to recognize this obvious truth will just result in financial ruin over the long term. Reality can only be denied for so long.

It's frustrating that insurance companies like State Farm pay their agents high wages, while customers face increasing costs to insure their homes. State Farm should reconsider the high salaries paid to their agents, some of whom earn over $500k and fall into high tax brackets, while average homeowners bear the financial burden. They need to come to medium where their agents don’t get a kick back while the average home owner suffers..

Evers since the government mandated everyone has to buy vehicle insurance (in the 80s?) it has given all insurers IMPRISONED CUSTOMERS. Resulting in LESS insurance for a lot MORE MONEY and homeowners' insurance is no different. My homeowners doubled this year because my roof is ten years old (seriously WTF). I own one rental and the insurance has tripled since purchasing it just 3 years ago in NEW MEXICO. This cost is passed on to renters. Rent raises that go into corporation's pockets not property owners just to stay afloat. Americans need to understand our government puts corporations before all people. Insurance companies making their own rules to gouge American was created and is protected by the government. The same government that allowed corporations to buy up millions of starter homes as a result of the pandemic. literally creating a "perceived" housing shortage overnight which in fact is corporations hoarding real estate to resell at grotesque prices. THAT RESULTS IN HIGHER TAXES THAT GO DIRECTLY INTO STATE and local GOVERNMENT COFFERS. Biden or trump won't be helping to rectify the situation. You need Robert Kennedy Jr for this which is why he does not have corporate sponsors and neither candidate will debate him or allow him to compete. Since 2010 corporations have been given the right to donate as much $$$$$ as they want to politics by a conservative supreme court. The government calls this Bulls8 'corporate personhood' giving our individual rights as real people to all corporations. Eliminating the need for voters' financial backing and putting CORPORATIONS IN THE RULING CLASS OVER WE THE PEOPLE. What the court gave IDIVIDUAL PEOPLE was the right to sue these rich corporations on our own dime, NOT EXACTLY A FAIR POWER DYNAMIC. Making politicians dependent on corporations instead of the people. All politicians need from voters is a vote that they are legally allowed to lie and misrepresent to get said vote. LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY. The only shot voters have at this time in the fight against corporations is RFK Jr all the way who is running on this very premise. Is it any wonder that media corporations and journalist won't acknowledge him properly.

I'm just worried about the earthquake. Experts have stated the odds of a 8.0 magnitude earthquake hitting between 2010~2030 is 75%. It's 2024 right now. Which means we have less than 6 yrs left within that projected timeframe. If and when it does happen, gas, water, power lines will be compromised, and pretty much the whole state will be paralyzed for months. First responders will be overwhelmed. And if the house is damaged, the labor to fix the house will be practically impossible to find. I'm just thinking of a way to get out of this place before the inevitable.

Seems like BS. In CA, the insurance industry total revenue is $90 billion per year. Their collective "loss ratio" is 63%. They're pocketing 37% of people's premiums. Now granted, they have to pay salaries and rent and such, but $33 billion in gross profit is nuts. Meta/facebook has a lower gross profit lmfao, and they don't replace houses and operate globally, not just in CA.
