  • "There's no question there's going to be a lot of people impacted by this fire and their insurance falls short," said Amy Bach, with United Policyholders. As wildfire victims are forced to the California FAIR Plan, new concerns are being raised about its coverage caps and the impact on the housing market. abc7ne.ws/40dY8Yv

    $3mm max is for the structure only. Land doesnt disappear during a fire.

    Maybe the real estate industry shouldn't be so blatantly over-valuing homes in the Bay Area. I don't care where it's located, but I'm sorry - a 2 bdrm., 1 bath home is NOT worth a million dollars. Bring prices down to REALITY - where they belong - instead of the Greedosphere.

      If government stops Chinese investors from buying American houses, the prices will automatically come down to normal levels. People hoard multiple houses and on top of that government allows Chinese investors to buy houses while still sitting in china. American people are being homeless on streets while houses are being snatched by Chinese.

    Insurance companies are pulling out of California because of high costs and poor public policies. The costs are a reflection of the market, but public policies come from the extreme left wing loons in government.
