They left FL decades ago.
If I was in charge of the legislature I would have a policy that if you don’t sell property insurance you can’t sell auto and other gravy products.

SF left alot of counties in NC a few years back, not just along the coast either.
Overall that's a small number for California.
Several companies pulled out of the coastal counties at the same time, a few from mountain counties also.

State Farm pulled a number on Florida residents after the 4 hurricane "hit" around 2004; even running their operations off shore where US regulations don't apply..

A state farm is one of the goals of a communist government, don't be surprised when the name is right there all along

You advocate a business operating at a loss as a law? Damn, Lars. They would absolutely operate everywhere if the laws allowed them to charge what they need to make a profit. Don't hate State Farm, hate the attorneys and legislatures in south FL and CA for making it an impossible landscape.

I agree with you. My point is why allow them to sell auto but not property?

More companies selling a product = more competition for customers and usually lower prices.

When they can price their products so they make a profit, you will.

Why not just have them satisfy your needs, rather than the demands of a company and stockholders?

No. If they can't make a profit on a product, whether it's insurance or jellybeans, then they should pull out.

If you feel you are getting screwed, why don't you self insure?

Shockingly my insurance company after claiming a Ferrari as a total loss and getting paid out for it they still do business with me.

I took them to the cleaners. The "deductible" was laughable at the total cost they had to pay out to make me whole. They still insure my house and cars and umbrella in good 'ol Florida.

I believe a lot of it is political. I think DeSantis and the folks in Tallahassee need to fix the problem ASAP.

I'm giving that serious consideration. If I did I would still have a liability policy.
