This is a fraudulent half truth - it’s the CA insurance regulators and environmental regulators that are responsible for not letting the free market price in mathematically correct prices and protections. Look up All In Podcast Ep 210 for a more informative explanation - there’s no one party responsible but the insurance companies are not even close.
They’ve been checked out since the 100k acre fire in 2018. My family hasn’t been able to get fire insurance at all (except for the state fire insurance which is horrible) - so every time there’s a wind event or a fire nearby, we have to mentally prepare for losing everything. It’s super fucked up and everyone in high risk areas is affected by this.
Don’t know who you are, but this is just plain mean. How dare you mock those who have just lost literally EVERYTHING. From what you’ve recently posted, it seems like you’re assuming that everyone who lost their homes and businesses in this fire are wealthy. That is not the case for everyone. My brother lived with his mom in that home for 40 years. They are NOT rich at all, extremely normal people who have regular jobs. Their home is not worth millions. They didn’t live in a mansion. My brother has been struggling for years due to his disability after overcoming bone cancer. His home was all he had in a world that was crumbling around him. I’m disgusted by you.
In a few years you won’t have any hair left to bleach so there’s some savings right there. See, there are always more ways economize. I’m pretty thrifty myself so when you tire of asking for other people’s money, hit me up big bro.

Of course - a little root cause analysis and market understanding is helpful. The problem is that CA is trying to keep housing prices high for tax revenue (suppressing insurance costs does this) AND prevent folks from cutting down too much trees and brush (totally political environmental stuff) - instead they should LISTEN to the market - the insurance companies have been asking to hike prices because a 1 in 100 chance on a $5M property is a $50k policy premium but lately these fires are 1 in 5 so that’s a pricey $1M annual policy premium. The real estate market would shriek and IF LISTENING the state would ask why, and decide they need to reduce the risk of fire in the first place to lower the odds for entire communities - clear underbrush, switch to metal roofs, outdoor fire suppression systems (in the wood roof days they had them), bigger fire breaks, and big upgrades in fire fighting equipment and personnel (or robots) among other things.
