H detailed it quite correct.Why do you lie about what I posted in that thread? And why are you intentionally detailing your own thread by talking ABOUT me, instead of addressing the topic?
Pulling out is NOT canceling policies. A carrier is free to not do business and pull up stakes.Funny how TRUMPSTERS never point out how many, many insurance companies have pulled out of Florida...
Thanks for sharing that.That, and it's also the fact that California has far and away the highest total value of real estate. CA residential real estate alone is estimated to be more than $9 trillion. Next closest? FL at about $3 trillion. In fact the value of CA residential real estate is worth more than that of FL, NY, and TX -- combined.
So that's why insurers are trying to drop CA residential real estate like a cigarette butt. Insurers have very sophisticated models. They know what's coming. They know they can't afford to cover the real estate losses they will be expected to cover in the near future.
Insurance companies are not renewing contracts, not issuing new contracts, or pulling out in other states as well, including Louisiana and Florida.Why did insurance companies pull out of California right before the wild fires?
Simply because Insurance companies are not stupid. They are in the business to make a profit insuring risk. The lower the risk the more chance for profit. The higher the risk the more chance for loss.
Those companies were well-aware of both California's crazy water use (read waste) policies, as well as the high risk of annual fires in spring and summer. Especially when the State and local governments were not properly clearing dried brush and fallen timber in order to help prevent such fires. Add to that the improper maintenance of reservoirs, and it was a disaster waiting to happen.
Did you just call a poster on here a jew-hater?
Post #7Are insurance companies pulling out of Florida because of progressive regulations? Lol
Post #8No, Jew-hater, they are pulling out for a different reason.
It's called capitalism and making a profit. Something big gubmint lovers don't know anything about.Thanks for sharing that.
It is BS that this is due to any climate change. Total nonsense libral pablum for the masses.Insurance companies are not renewing contracts, not issuing new contracts, or pulling out in other states as well, including Louisiana and Florida.
Politicizing what is essentially an environmental/climate issue does nothing to try to ameliorate the problem.

If someone makes bread and an agency controls what they can charge, and the price of their materials goes up and the agency says you should have planned better and you're not going to be allowed to double the cost of your bread. what do you do? Go bankrupt?
I have gone over this with the libs of DP before. When people build in a swamp they should expect alligators, snakes and mosquitos. Centuries ago, brush fires were allowed to burm because there was littlke reason to put them out. Now people build in forests and are surprised that a brush fire burned down the trees and their house with it.Post #33
I guess you like to believe that excessive state regulations in Louisiana and Florida, and not hurricanes in the Gulf and the Atlantic, are the reason insurers are not issuing new contracts, not renewing current contracts, and/or are pulling out altogether in those states....right?
It has nothing to do with progressives or the left california gets very hot and has alot of wild fires (trust me i would know i lived there) so home insurance doesnt wanna cover fire damage because of how much of a risk it is.You guessed it: progressive regulation
A friend at the VFW returned in late January from visiting family who lived in one of the areas affected by the wildfires. They had to evacuate once (from the daughter's home). Flames were visible on the drive to the airport (for the return trip).My city was burning it was called the Carr fire i had to flee and go to another city hoping the damage wasnt too bad looking back at the huge flames from the car.
Lying about me answering doesn’t make the written record of the forum showing my answer go away lol.Let's find out:
Did the Jews murdered by Hitler have the right to live?
I expect you will evade the question, as usual.
Lying about me is more so lol.Because antisemitism is morally repugnant.
He lied. You know that.H detailed it quite correct.
I live here too. The problem is that insurance companies have to deal with CA bureocracy in order to raise rates-and that takes forever. Furthermore, they are not allowed to raise rates enough to cover the cost of doing business. In addition they cannot raise rates (historically-not sure if this is still true) based on projections of where fires may occur, only where they HAVE occurred in the past with no consideration of where fires may occur in the future based on the risk in that location. Add that to the fact that some but not all areas are in fire zones and you get the result: they are pulling out, not renewing policies, and not issuing new policies. Getting reinsurance (insurance for insurance companies) is harder to get now. Many people here are turning as a result of being unable to get insurance through insurance companies to the state sponsored "California Fair Plan", and expensive bare bones fire insurance that only covers damage and loss from fires-you STILL have to buy homeowners insurance for damage and loss from everything else. Furthermore, if California Fair has insufficient funds to pay for losses those who carry that policy can be assessed an additional premium to cover the difference, as is likely to happen to cover the losses from the LA fires.It has nothing to do with progressives or the left california gets very hot and has alot of wild fires (trust me i would know i lived there) so home insurance doesnt wanna cover fire damage because of how much of a risk it is.
It absolutely is climate change. You can have your head in the sand about this, but its actually what the insurance industry is discussing, which has led to some companies exiting states most affected, including California, Florida and Louisiana. Also at risk will be Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Nevada and Arizona, all states that are expected to be most impacted by the consequences of global warming.It is BS that this is due to any climate change. Total nonsense libral pablum for the masses.
I have read those and those are all opinions and claims.It absolutely is climate change. You can have your head in the sand about this, but its actually what the insurance industry is discussing.

They are EXPERT opinions -- Deloitte, McKinsey...... and you offer nothing but denial and personal anecdotes. We all have noticed that you have offered NO expert opinion that counters this, because you can not and have never seen one. All you have is anecdotes, which are not an argument unless the proposition is an all or none, which this is not. Climate change is a very real thing, which insurance companies and the military are each figuring out how to navigate.I have read those and those are all opinions and claims.
What we have are people building in very high-risk areas for hurricanes, floods and fires and the insurers gambling that there would be no catastrophes. I moved to Arizona and in a fire prone area. In the past two years they have been building new tracts everywhere and these are in forested areas with many pine trees. Now, in the past when there were brush fires in the areas they are now building in, the brush fires went unnoticed. If a fire were to hit today and wipe out a thousand homes that weren't there 10 years ago, the climate nazis would say "Global warming".
Pulling out usually means not writing any new policies NOR renewing existing policies. It means the insurer wants no part of the risk of a particular area.Pulling out is NOT canceling policies. A carrier is free to not do business and pull up stakes.
Again, the same thing is happening in Florida and Louisiana where your criticisms of government regulations are not valid.As @Captain Adverse said, "Simply because Insurance companies are not stupid. They are in the business to make a profit insuring risk. The lower the risk the more chance for profit. The higher the risk the more chance for loss."
In California the have a state-run insurance company called The Fair Plan which does insure a home in a brush area for fire insurance and the premiums are commensurate with the brush density, miles from the fire department and fire hydrants and what the home is constructed out of. When the decide to not write in brush areas anymore they notify the policy holders with a minimum of 45 days. That gives people the time to get insurance through the Fair Plan. Any suggestions of cancelation just before the fire are lies.
In a town called Paradise, the entire town burned to the ground. In Pacific Palisades the losses are in the billions and climbing. State Farm pulled out of the state now as have other carriers because California is pro consumer and refuses appropriate rate increases.
THIS is what happens when government controls private businesses. They leave. The Fair Plan didn't have nearly the reserves they need for this fire and California will have to cover them. They are raising their already high rates by at least 25%.
Florida is similar. Insurers take a gamble writing insurance; they reinsure for catastrophes and that isn't enough. The people got what they wanted in California. Now they have trouble getting ANY insurance at a decent premium. Ain't gubmint great?
You're likely just scum with skeletonz punk.. That's obviouz as fux to anyone can see, or yer crazy... (IMO) DISS ****in' SMITHED!I have read those and those are all opinions and claims.

You can choose to sit on the sidelines of reality, and stroke your inner ostrich, but experts in the field are dealing with the financial impacts of climate change. No one is interested in your unsubstantiated denials... Saying things over and over again without offering proof makes for a rather boring poster...

What an incredibly weak retort, obvious to anyone reads this. There is no "failure to communicate". The only failures here are your weak understanding of the issue at hand, weak debate skills and, it seems, a degree of intellectual laziness, at least on this subject.What we have here is failure to communicate.
Just because some group or person uses Global warming as an exuce as to why insurers are pulling out of states does not mean that it is true that any climate change has cause more brush fires or more severe brush fires, or more hurricanes or more severe hurricanes. You are attempting to use people "in authority" without having to prove what those people are alleging. This is what Christians do when they rely on pastors and priests to lead them by the nose.
But, pray tell, (pun intended) how may homes burned down or were flooded 200 years ago in areas where there were no homes?
