California couple loses homeowners' insurance after draining their swimming pool to save water (abc7.com)

It's becoming harder and harder to get a homeowner insurance policy in California. State Farm and Allstate stopped writing new policies, citing wildfire risks. Others are limiting new customers.

And now, several viewers tell San Francisco's KGO-TV that AAA is not renewing their longtime policies -- and it has nothing to do with wildfires.

These homeowners were surprised to find out aircraft and satellites were taking photos over their homes. They were baffled to find out the reasons AAA dropped their coverage -- everything from clutter in the yard to draining a swimming pool to save water.

In Quebec you wouldn’t be able to get a mortgage as long as the house is not insured… If they stop giving policies here, we’re going to have bigger issues…

No issue for corporations paying cash and making everyone a renter.

Other companies still issue insurance here, but with less competition and no loyalty discounts, the price might be higher.
