2025-01-21 17:25:10 +0000 UTCThat bird owner is garbage. Not only did he leave him to die that cage is absolutely despicable. I hope that owner died.

2025-01-17 14:54:03 +0000 UTCInsurance is not a “bet”. Nobody is wagering their life when they get health insurance. No one is wagering their house for a payout if it gets destroyed. That is so weird to say. You are so weird.

2025-01-16 19:31:15 +0000 UTCHey Andrew and the Channel 5 crew! I’m with the Pasadena Tenants Union and we wanted to let you guys know that if you are interested in doing any interviews with us about Pasadena landlords lobbying the City to bypass rent control protections for fire victims, price gouging, and evictions please reach out! We are actively organizing to fight this and the more press we get around this issue the better. Thank you for the invaluable work you guys are doing and I hope you and your loved ones are safe!!

2025-01-14 20:47:53 +0000 UTCThis is such a horrible situation. If the insurance companies don't or can't help then it shows more then ever we need a real solution to helping our citizens

2025-01-14 16:36:31 +0000 UTCAndrew I have been a patron member here since you started I think. This is the most gutting journalism you have ever put up. It hurts my soul to watch this.

2025-01-11 21:53:03 +0000 UTCMy hometown of Lahaina burned to the ground too. Can’t help but compare the similarities. Truly a hard watch.

2025-01-11 18:53:54 +0000 UTCI wonder how much “actuarial” profits they made this year 🖕
mud
2025-01-11 14:15:36 +0000 UTCJust wanna say yall are getting better and better at this every time a big event happens now im like “can’t wait to see what canal cinco has to say about it”. Yall are really at every important development at once it’s really impressive just how you manage to be at all of these places at the right time it’s very respectable and I imagine it’s a lot harder than it looks
Liam Rothwell-Pessino
2025-01-11 12:39:09 +0000 UTCSo honest question I'm thinking about now, and would love to hear other's thoughts: what do you do if you can't get home insurance after a company withdraws? It seems to me that you earnestly look for somewhere else to live. Actuaries are scarily good at what they do. But I know that's really hard to do, and it probably sounds heartless right now.
Eli Gaultney
2025-01-11 12:37:33 +0000 UTCIn this case, it seems fairly justified for the insurance company to withdraw from the area based on the actuarial science. Clearly they were correct in their estimates. Insurance works as a bet between you and the company that something terrible won't happen. The whole thing doesn't work if the insurance company is forced to take terrible bets.
Eli Gaultney
2025-01-11 12:35:10 +0000 UTCHey bro, you ok? This kind of trauma will shake you. Hit me up if you need. I’m a professional
Sean OHagen
2025-01-11 11:32:40 +0000 UTCHow can we outside of the US financially assist the families?
Louis Venter
2025-01-11 07:15:42 +0000 UTCFox spent hours on YouTube live blaming the democrats for lack of water pressure at the top of hills.
Carlos
2025-01-11 05:07:44 +0000 UTCInsane. How’s that even poss to call it as insurance.
Miki
2025-01-11 05:07:39 +0000 UTCI imagine they had a good relationship with the owners otherwise they’d have been priced out. I had friends paying 5-6k per month to for two bedroom houses in Pasadena.
Carlos
2025-01-11 05:06:31 +0000 UTCWas about to move my little family to Pasadena two years ago from Anaheim. We always talk about the fires as 2020-2021 was a big dire year. Ended up in the mountain west instead. It is heart breaking to see these streets we drove up and down admiring the houses completely destroyed and the families in them devastated. So sorry for these people and their decades of memories. Luckily memories can’t be destroyed by a fire.
Carlos
2025-01-11 05:05:10 +0000 UTCThey don’t cover earthquakes, floods, fires..basically anything that can destroy your home isn’t covered. It’s absurd. At this points home owners insurance has become just box that needs to be checked for a mortgage yet doesn’t do anything.
Carlos
2025-01-11 04:59:50 +0000 UTCToo brutal. How is it legit for insurance companies to take money from these ppl for insurance coverage and dont cover when ppl need? Genuinely wondering how insurance companies can get away with it.
Miki
2025-01-11 04:45:33 +0000 UTChow the fuck can an insurance company just cancel people's insurance wtf
Bryn

2025-01-11 03:18:19 +0000 UTCClimate change is a corporate scam
youmebangbang
2025-01-11 03:15:06 +0000 UTCI lost my house and so did my whole block. I never seen so much organized confusion in all my life. I'm still processing it but I'm moving upward and onward. I'm putting my insurance into rebuilding concrete and metal roof multi family housing now because we need it more than ever. I'm from Pasadena and grew up in Altadena and I'll be damned if I'm going to let them turn us into Lahaina. I'm not leaving and neither is my community.
Breezy Leezy
2025-01-11 02:56:29 +0000 UTCYeah the actuary subreddit was talking about how risk premiums where like 3x the regulation limit and only getting worse with climate change, obviously the insurer wont cover that. Apparently same reason as why a lot of flood insurance in Florida is through the NFIP. I'm no authority on the matter so would like some more info, just did some brief reading.
Andrew Finn
2025-01-11 01:39:50 +0000 UTCListening to them cry over all they have lost while they stand there looking at the smouldering ruins of their home is just heart breaking. Definitely couldn't help but tear up a bit. I wish them all the best I hope everyone effected can get on their feet again after this tragedy. Edit: Also fuck State Farm and any other insurance company denying claims in a time like this. You can't opt out of insurance in a lot of places and what is the point in even paying if you get nothing but a middle finger when you need it.

2025-01-11 01:30:24 +0000 UTCI’m sure you know but there’s also a sick graff. scene down here in Asheville.
William Royer
2025-01-11 01:26:35 +0000 UTCAndrew I’m a true fan and do not want this to be miss conceived because I do think this story needs to be told. That being said I think you should come check in on Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee after the hurricane. We are still struggling and the story should be heard.
William Royer
2025-01-11 01:24:21 +0000 UTCThanks for covering this so quickly. It’s so sad. Please mention the role of proposition 103 in insurance policies not being renewed. I find the framing of State Farm’s decisions in this video to be ignorant at best. There is always a premium they would be willing to insure at, but when it is illegal for them to charge that premium, they simply made the rational decision to not renew some policies.
Jacob Anderson
2025-01-11 01:19:07 +0000 UTCPLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN🙏 My cousin's house has burned down and anything would help. They have literally lost EVERYTHING. https://gofund.me/bfc7fd59 Please help my friend! I used to play Xbox games with him in high school and their home burned down and they have lost everything in the fire. Now I want to help any way I can. https://gofund.me/1dc432d5 These are the only 2 people I know and can help that are experiencing the catastrophic damage from the fires in LA.

Markus Videsäter
2025-01-10 22:38:55 +0000 UTCI realize now why I find these interviews to be so much more informative than CNN or FOX or any mainstream outlet. Its the people. These are their lived experiences, and there isn't a facade of editing and theater like regular channels. No one is going to watch that and miss the reality that these people are going through and how raw that emotion truly is.
Zak Shah
2025-01-10 22:38:07 +0000 UTCFelt physically sick listening to that last family. Actually gut wrenching.

Kaytlin Armitage
2025-01-10 22:32:01 +0000 UTCPretty crazy to even offer fire insurance to just backtrack and leave all these people in the dust. I imagine a lot of people will be leaving Cali.
