MISSION BBQ’s Post

California MBA's beautiful backdrop only highlighted the growing concerns of the California insurance crisis. As Gloria Papa sat down to commiserate over the rough commute on Palos Verdes Dr S to get to the Terranea resort. We were dumfounded by the almost car-sized holes construction crews were quickly trying to fill, that made for a rather bumpy road. After a quick google search, I read that they spend almost $1M per year to maintain that stretch of road alone!! Carmel Y. brought up that many of the homes in the area are unable to get insurance due to the continual erosion in the area. Thus sparked a conversation that has become one of the cornerstone questions of the California homeowner. Can I get Homeowner's Insurance on my home? We are all familiar with the California Fair Plan. (started the year I was born - I dare you to google that one!) While being (some unknown #😒) years old it has seen tremendous growth, doubling from 2019 to today, due to the increased rate of insurance companies exiting the California market. While it is still only a small percentage of all policies written, it is now a reality for many homeowners unable to attain insurance due to wildfire risk. I would like to say the three of us came up with a great solution, we didn't... but it did make for an interesting conversation and highlighted another reason we all gather at the Western. Aside from standing and chatting with pretty much every person you know in a small square area overlooking the ocean. We gather at the Western Secondary to raise funds for the California MBA to tackle these issues for our state's mortgage industry. I want to give a huge shout of thanks from to Susan Milazzo and the teams of workers and volunteers that support the California MBA to represent and advocate before the California State Legislature on these relevant challenges that exist in our gorgeous state. So, thank you. ...One drive through the treacherous potholes was enough for me and I left Terranea going north to circle back south to my home in San Diego... in the middle of Wildfire territory. #californiamba #Californiainsurance #Californiamortgageindustry

Great article by my partner Peter Hamby. Best lesson l learned from time with tech folks and the How To Citizen work is that “debunking” misinformation doesn’t work. Repeating the fake info just helps it spread. Other approaches like “pre-bunking” and inoculation against the storm of b.s. stand a better chance. Hat tip to Sander van der Linden for that notion. Have you seen an impact from the hurricane of lies spreading? Have you seen effective ways to limit that kind of storm damage? #misinformation #climatechange #disasters
