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.

This is all a ploy by insurance companies to put pressure on the insurance regulator.
Nobody thinks downtown SF is a wildfire risk but they're still restricting policies in places like that

I just bought a house in California and my state farm rep said they're not doing any new home insurance policies, but they intend to start again at some undetermined future date.

Try GEICO. I just bought a house and had no issues at all.
