After insurance pullback, advocates demand a 'bill of rights' for California policyholders

A leading consumer group is proposing a policyholder rights initiative that would require insurers to offer coverage to California homeowners who fireproof their homes — or lose the right to sell home or auto insurance in the state for five years.

My rent is going up $1,000 at renewal in March (USA - central Florida). We live in a 2BR 1,000 sq ft apartment where there have been constant flooding and mold issues. The drainage is so bad in the parking lot that several cars were flooded and totaled during Hurricane Ian. Regular plumbing issues and garbage buildup. They want $2,400 plus fees per month for this place.
What is this hellscape?

Why Rent In NYC Is Out Of Control Right Now

Rents in New York City are at an all-time high. The median asking rent in Manhattan reached $4,100 in June 2022. CNBC Make It spoke to three New Yorkers whose rents increased up to $2,100 a month. But are New Yorkers willing to pay up? One challenge for renters is the requirement that they earn 40 times the rent when applying for an apartment. With the median asking rent in Manhattan around $4,000, that means the minimum income to qualify for an apartment at that price is $160,000. The median household income in New York City is $67,000. Correction (Aug. 23rd, 2022): At 01:46 the video misidentified that Thelma Annan is 32 years old. She is 31 years old.

Renters are being fleeced with huge rent hikes and evictions—and it’s only getting worse

The US housing crisis has been decades in the making, but combined with an inflation squeeze and a systemic shortage of affordable housing, more renters have nowhere to go.
