Why 66.7% Cuts vs 185% Hikes?

Historically under Proposition 103, insurers used backwards-looking 20-year loss averages and could not include out-of-state reinsurance. Under Ricardo Lara's Sustainable Insurance Strategy:

Low-risk urban parcels had subsidised wildfire risk; with granular catastrophe models, their rates drop up to 35%.
Foothill / WUI parcels face actual risk-adjusted exposure, leading to proposed increases up to 185%.
In return for this rate freedom, carriers must write at least 85% of their market share in distressed areas.
