State Farm will discontinue coverage for 72,000 houses and apartments in California starting this summer, the insurance giant said this week, nine months after announcing it would not issue new home policies in the state

The Illinois-based company, California’s largest insurer, cited soaring costs, the increasing risk of catastrophes like wildfires and outdated regulations as reasons it won’t renew the policies on 30,000 houses and 42,000 apartments, the Bay Area News Group reported Thursday.

    What? Cheaper areas aren’t good enough for you?

    Why should you get more before the people who live in those areas if you can’t afford it?

    Answer: Entitlement.

      So if I can’t afford to live where I do because my tax dollars support your flyover state that repeatedly wastes the money on corruption instead of helping peoplw, I need to leave the land I was born to join the untoothed masses? That’s the conservative way, isn’t it? “Oh, we ruined your progress, you should have to do it out way now.”

      There’s nothing wrong with the land itself, just the people who live there who shaped their society.

        If you can’t afford to live somewhere, then you have to go somewhere cheaper.

        It’s part of supply and demand and you’re not exempt from it, despite how entitled you may feel.

        You’re also stereotyping which shows your lack of experience outside of major cities. Most of your fear comes from what you do not know or understand.

        Unfortunately, you are already too far gone. For you to make better financial decisions, you’d have to admit you’re wrong; and nobody wants to do that.

        Good luck waiting for other people to solve your problems. I’m sure that will work out, eventually.

          Sorry fella, you replied to your strawman version of me instead of the real thing.

            Not really. I just said things you don’t like so you pretend they’re not relevant.

            I see it all the time from people like you.
