Home Insurance Out of Reach

Climate Disasters Scare Off California Home Insurance

Home insurance is becoming a hotter market, as climate change makes some homes all but uninsurable. Last week, State Farm, the largest insurance firm in the United States, announced that they would no longer be accepting new applications for homeowner insurance in California. Not just in high-risk wildfire areas, or for homes built on slide-prone parts of Big Sur, but anywhere in the entire…

“[In Abby Allen’s] lush Devon fields native cattle graze alongside 400-year-old hedgerows, with birds and butterflies enjoying the species-rich pasture.

6. Heat-based batteries are a surprisingly versatile tool

“[T]hermal energy storage [… is] expected to be more cost-effective than conventional lithium-ion batteries for storing cheap clean electricity over longer durations[….] Thermal storage systems take up less space per unit of energy stored than lithium-ion batteries do, [… and] can also deliver their stored energy without the efficiency losses that occur in converting electricity from [AC to DC and back].”

7. Dolly Parton is sending free books to children across 21 states — and around the world

“[In 21 states,] all children under the age of 5 can enroll to have books mailed to their homes monthly. […] Since the program started, books have been sent to more than 240 million to [sic] kids in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia.”

8. Biden-Harris Administration Awards $100 Million to Navigators Who Will Help Millions of Americans - Especially in Underserved Communities - Sign Up for Health Coverage

“The grants are part of a commitment of up to $500 million over five years - the longest grant period and financial commitment to date, and a critical boost for recruiting trusted local organizations to better connect with those who often face barriers to obtaining health care coverage. […] Navigators offer free assistance to people exploring health coverage options through HealthCare.gov, from reviewing available plans to assisting with eligibility and enrollment forms, and post-enrollment services such as using their coverage to get care.”

“The property […] will feature wider hallways, larger guest rooms, easy access to elevators and other modifications that exceed the standards required under the [ADA].

Allstate, too, has pulled out of climate disaster-prone areas while hiring lobbyists who are also aligned to fossil fuel interests

The largest home insurer in the US, State Farm, which is halting new homeowner policies in California due to the “rapidly growing catastrophe exposure” posed by wildfires, has hired lobbyists who also work to advance fossil fuel industry interests across 18 states, a new database shows.

While State Farm in May refused to take new home insurance applications in California, it retains a lobbying firm in the state – the Sacramento-based KP Public Affairs – which also represents Tenaska, a gas developer. Across the US, State Farm shares lobbyists with a raft of oil and gas companies, including ExxonMobil, Calpine and Occidental Energy.

Allstate, another insurer that followed State Farm in pulling out from new policies in California due to the state’s worsening wildfire risk, has also contracted lobbyists who have fossil fuel clients, such as Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Kinder Morgan.

State Farm and Allstate are just two of more than 150 insurance companies and associations – part of an industry facing steepening losses from fires, floods and other disasters spurred by the climate crisis – that use state-based lobbyists also aligned to fossil fuel interests, according to F Minus, a new database of public disclosure records.

James Browning, executive director of F Minus, said that State Farm’s linkage to fossil fuels stretches to Florida, where its lobbying firm Dean Mead also represents the Williams Companies, a gas pipeline operator in the state. “This allegiance with gas interests clearly pits State Farm against the interests of its customers as they face increasingly severe hurricanes, floods, and soaring insurance costs,” said Browning.

The lobbying overlap between insurers like State Farm and the fossil fuel companies stoking the climate crisis is “problematic and potentially counterproductive”, according to Tom Corringham, a research economist with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego.

Insurers and fossil fuel companies could be working at cross-purposes around issues such as climate risk disclosures, he said, which the insurance industry requires to accurately price risk for homes facing a rising threat of flooding or fire.

So it turns out my Nana's house hasn't been insured for like 6 months and not one of the legal people my mom talked to told her that so luckily nothing happened but she figured it all out with State Farm and then got off the phone and said "The ads were right. State Farm was there 😲"

Like a “good neighbor” State Farm is where??

I thought with insurance, you’re supposed to feel “assured”. Some fantasy right?

Our “full coverage” insurance- you know, the one that’s supposed to fix or replace your car only paid our car off and left us with nothing.

A $20k car with $6K of cosmetic damage is not a “total loss” especially when we only wanted the windows replaced.

What the hell do I do now “good neighbor”?

My mom wanted me to have that car when she passed away. On her death bed she told me “Just take my car, everything will be alright” - Sitting in that drivers seat made me feel like she was still with us and keeping me safe. I don’t want to say goodbye to that car, it’s way more than just another number… but not to these scumbags who only want your money and couldn’t care about anything more.

Let me be the good neighbor and give you this advice. People are not numbers. Treat people with love and respect because that’s fading in this world quicker than my will to go on.

Do better, get better, and BE better.

-your neighbor.

To all the actual good neighbors out there, share this with everyone. We are more than numbers. We are people and we deserve to be treated as people.
