> In some coastal U.S. cities, it’s not just the hurricanes and floods putting homes at risk, it’s the cost of insurance itself that’s becoming unsustainable

It is the disasters that are causing the insurance to become unaffordable.

You can go read the financial reports for these insurance companies. They are losing money hand over fist in disaster prone areas. The industry as a whole typically loses money on underwriting home insurance, at best they have a year or two in a decade where they make a point or two in profit.
