A little bit.
The blame should first go to the CA government that has made both housing and insurance artificially expensive (as well as pretty much everything else), as well as unjustly requiring home insurance in the first place.
As a general rule, though, there's nothing wrong with the sentiment that if you can't afford to live somewhere then you should live somewhere else. That's how the rest of us have to live.

Its a little bit wrong to expect cheap insurance in a high risk environment. Its pay to play. I know they have been getting pounded by fires lately, but its not a new thing. The smart choice would have been to relocate.

Absolutely, no one should expect cheap insurance in a place like that. However, the state does things that make insurance more costly to provide and it is reasonable to think they should stop doing that.
It's also reasonable to think you should not have to have insurance. One of the core principles of a free society is personal responsibility. If someone wants to take on all the risk of living somewhere, that's their business.

They just need to install one of those blue roofs and then all will be fine.

I bet the color changes every time. They don't want anyone to catch on.

Does the color change that often?
