Efforts to rebuild a California town nearly wiped out by wildfire five years ago are being stymied by high home insurance costs. Residents of Paradise are experiencing sticker shock on renewal policies that near or surpass $10,000.

Homeowners who haven’t been dropped by their insurers are seeing stunning hikes in premiums.
