diddy's home in california and also elsewhere. the possible sex trafficking investigation linked to the music mogul. it was a wild chase, ending with a rollover crash in oakland. in the past hour we learned about the alleged crime in north bay that could be connected. and, pickle ballplayers versus neighbors, it is a turf war over courts and a posh san francisco neighborhood. >> when you live next to a playground or a park you should expect noise. >> it is loud. no one will say it is not. >> this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich. >> good evening for most of us, our homes are our most valuable asset. more and more californians are having trouble insuring them. in fact, state farm announced it will not renew existing policies for 72,000 homes and apartments across the state. state farm is already pulled back on offering
7:01 pm
new policies in california. other insurers including all-state, farmers, nationwide and others are taking similar actions, citing high cost and the threat of wildfires, a growing number of property owners are turning to the state's so-called fair plan. as john ramos shows us with demand growing, the state's last insurance option could be one major disaster away from imploding. >> reporter: the california fair plan was created in 1968 as a place for people to get fire insurance when no one else would offer it to them. now, with climate change, so many people entered the program that just one major wildfire could wipe out every last dollar in the program. >> reporter: catastrophic wildfires turned areas never seen as high risk into places where fire insurance is not even available. sacramento is beginning to see the scope of the problem. last week the california department of
7:02 pm
insurance held a hearing about the state of the fair plan. those who run the program did not exactly have good news. >> the fair plan continues to grow in size as consumers find themselves without coverage. as a result, we have doubled in size in the last three years. >> reporter: by law, every insurer operating in the state has to participate in the fair plan. if losses exceed the insurance companies will pass it on to consumers as a surcharge. the size of the fair plan now makes it inevitable. >> the fair plan has about $300 billion in total exposure, meaning how much they insure and about $200 million in the bank. so, it is not hard to see in the event of a large catastrophic event they will not have the funds to be able to pay for it. >> for many companies, this
7:03 pm
financial burden will be too great and they may pull out and no longer write insurance in the state. >> reporter: that is already happening, state farm announced it will not renew another 70,000 policies in california. so, the state is creating what is called the sustainable insurance strategy. changing regulations that would allow insurers to charge more for homes in high risk areas. >> what this is going to do is it is going to allow carriers to come back into the market. right now we have rates that are extremely high. this is what happens when you don't have competition, right? when you have basically no private industry working and people are relying on the fair plan and the rates are going to be high. once the carriers all come back and start competing again, we will see rates coming down. >> reporter: but, the founder of consumer watch dog says the insurance companies are intentionally forcing homeowners into the fair plan as a way of getting every
7:04 pm
homeowner in the state to pay the fair plan's losses. >> from our point of view we see it as creating a scare tactic to create an opportunity for the legislature to bail the insurance industry out by forcing every homeowner in the state to pay off the debts of the fair plan if you are in a risky area or not. >> reporter: as wildfires grow in size, so does the cost of recovery. it is a cost that will eventually be born by everyone which means no one will be very happy about it. >> tomorrow, the department of insurance will hold a public hearing on the first set of guidelines for the new sustainable insurance strategy. federal raids today at two homes owned by sean diddy combs, one in l.a., one in miami, part of an investigation into possible sex trafficking allegations. anne makovec has

in the presidio heights neighborhood. city workers started to paint over the courts. pickle ballers claim they are being shutout after complaints from neighbors, but, as kenny choi shows us, they are not giving up their courts without a fight. >> pickle ball has become her, these are the courts they want to takeaway. once a tennis player, she is not giving up the courts without a fight >> it is all about the community. when you takeaway six courts from a popular place you are splitting up the community. >> reporter: the recreation and parks department put up signs saying tennis only, shutting down six of the 12 pickle ball courts. presidio heights resident that owns a home listed for $29 million with a backyard pickle ball court spearheaded it to shutdown the public courts complaining of noise impacts residents and wildlife >> it is in the middle of the
