Kemper pulled out of California too
I have friends and relatives there that need to talk to their state farm agent.
The weather has been perfect across the country. lol.
tough to do business in blue states.
Thank you Sierra Club for turning the forests into tinder boxes.
Just icing on the cake! No lake or river to fight the fires because Biden tore them out! Wells are poisoned, can’t live there anyway!
What the hell next!!!?
60 years with State farm....
California is not a serious state. We have arguably the worst forest management in the country (world?) and regularly suffer huge wildfires. Then the stupid bureaucrats and politicians blame insurance companies and the utilities as a CYA. Just ridiculous.
No insurance company would go into a place like Haiti or Venezuela. And the lawlessness in California is fast changing that once well-managed state into a third-world country.
Reap the whirlwind.
Dear California: Welcome to Florida.
Considering the number of homeowners in wildfire zones who refused to mitigate the risk with defensible space and other smarter choices, I’m surprised they waited this long, too.
“I’m shocked they or any other insurance company did not do this sooner.”
They have. Four Kemper Corp. subsidiaries — Merastar Insurance, Unitrin Auto and Home Insurance, Unitrin Direct Property and Casualty, as well as Kemper Independence Insurance — will no longer renew preferred home and auto insurance policies in California, a state that has suffered a number of wildfires, floods and other extreme weather events in recent years.
Allstate announced in November 2022 that it would “pause new homeowners, condo and commercial insurance policies in California to protect current customers,” the Associated Press reported in June.Feb 5, 2024.
As of October 1st of this year, Liberty Mutual will no longer be offering business owners’ policies in California.Aug 1, 2023
Farmers subsidiary pulls out of California, becoming latest insurer to do so. Another California insurer will stop issuing coverage in the state in a move affecting approximately 58,000 auto policies.Nov 14, 2023
USAA, Travelers, Nationwide and Chubb are still active in California, they have just either limited or stopped writing new home insurance policies. Current home insurance policies with these providers are still being honored.
There are more.

Coming soon Federal Home Insurance?
Can’t blame them. I’m in favor of pulling out of all Communist Countries.
They already cancelled a lot of policies the last two years.
Well, other than new york, this couldn’t have happened to a better state.
btt
Could be that State Farm is listening to their customers in all the other states gritching about the huge rate increases. My home insurance has gone up nearly a grand each of the last two years.
Twenty five years ago I was working in park maintenance in Colorado and the sierra club tried to stop us from cutting and pulling out dead trees as they “ help the ecosystem. My boss said they added to the fire load of the local forest annd threatened the local housing and escape routes. We ignored them and pulled out a heck of a lot of trees.
I would stop coverage on every property in California.
