How are rising reinsurance costs and regulatory changes in California contributing to the challenges faced by homeowners and the insurance industry?

The increasing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters are destabilizing the insurance industry, leading to increased premiums and reduced coverage. Insurers, citing high construction costs and "catastrophe exposure," are raising rates and canceling policies in high-risk areas, despite record profits. This creates a conflict between consumer advocates who assert premiums already account for such events and the industry's argument for needing to raise rates to remain profitable.
