The thieves and crooks are the Cali politicos.
State Farms played “smart business” here. They likely knew of the conditions in and around this area and decided it was not in their best interests to insure houses in a “high risk” area.
They recognized the danger being involved with a business in CA, sensible decision
The folks here were aware of what was eventually going to happen in California. It’s still a shock when it does.
The real impact is probably in the future when CA finds there are no new businesses being formed because of the anti-business attitude of the state. Few people I know see any kind of business future in CA.

Insurance should not have to cover government malfeasance.

The burning embers up high get blown the greatest distance.
Hell even Ray Charles saw the fires coming. Years of mis management and playing whack a mole as fires popped up told everyone (except hard core leftests who just refused to accept reality) this was coming.
I hope those insurance companies have hired security for their CEOs. The Hamas-loving, College Loan Deadbeats are all growing out their eyebrows and goatees and calling themselves Luigi.
