California-86% of Homeowners Don’t Have Earthquake Insurance
Here’s what big government produces - dependence! Hey, afterall, FEMA will come in and pay won’t they? And if they don’t, well, blame the government instead of themselves for being irresponsible.
Californians have built vast metropolises atop seismic faults, but 86 percent of the state’s homeowners have no quake insurance, a proportion that has crept upward as memories of past quakes fade. The number of uninsured was about 65 percent in 1996.

Or mudslide insurance either. And darned if they’re not surprised every year when it rains and the mud comes tumbling down. Can just imagine if we had another whopper of an earthquake.
And don’t even get me started on insurance here!
(I’m so looking forward to moving back east.)
