Any comments? I had no trouble getting homeowners insurance AND earthquake insurance from CSAA for the house I purchased in May in Santa Cruz. I was NOT able to get insurance from State Farm (they said something about having to reduce their risk in the Santa Cruz area.) And although I was given a quote for insurance from Amica, the price was over 3 times CSAA's price, for the same coverage. I also got a quote from Farmers that was in the same range as CSAA's price. CSAA required an inspection to make sure the house was in the condition I stated and had earthquake bracing. Liz
