    Home insurance companies pulling out of California and other areas will affect people living there as natural disasters are more frequent and more devastating. The consequence of these services being private in the first place

    Moved recently so my apartment is uninsured. Hopefully the big earthquakes wait for a bit

      Insurance of every variety (to the extent it is actually needed and no further) should be a non-profit, high oversight, public utility. Everyone pays into the local community fund, which is used to pay out for things that happen within the community.

      No outside money, and no money leaving the community other than through service payments for work done to repair.
