I briefly worked in risk management and Travelers was one of the providers we worked with a lot. I feel like you can probably have a custom policy written more easily if you go to a company that isn't just writing stock policies for Sam and Sally who-who and their Nissan Altima.
This is almost the exact amount of money that has been spent trying to build California's high speed rail system since voters approved the project in 2008.
It's been a while since I set up the (non-classic) policy for my ND but have you tried a company like Travelers? They might be able to write an unusual policy like what you're looking for. I have my Miata basically insured with them as a recreational vehicle with a mileage limit, etc.
I find that trying to use stats to convey the gravity of the crisis to average, normal folks rarely has the impact it needs to have because I usually have to explain what the stats mean and how to interpret them first. I give deaths in "Boeing 737s per X days" which is 2 planes crashing every 5 days

An emergency
When I hear people say "i couldn't do that with a bike" I so desperately wish they had even a fraction of the options available here that are available in countries like NL.

We do NOT want these things in Sacramento
Fuck ICE. Free Palestine. Vote Kat.
This challenge is so frustrating because it's actually a product of many bad policy choices made by American states and cities over the years. There's no one simple solution and so long as we keep INSISTING on a simple solution, we'll never actually eliminate the problem.

Chico, California spent 10+ years and $23m (in 2005 dollars, abt $14m) building this bike-pedestrian overpass of an arterial road. It was opened last year with much fanfare and celebration of its "unique" design, which has RGB lighting at night...
Compare and Contrast of cars versus bicycles. The car pictured is a silver dodge ram truck with ironically-applied USSR/Communist labels. The bicycle is a bicycle with an american flag Under the images is the ironic title "WOKE transit vs PATRIOT transit" Cars: Needs license/registration so the government can track you Government regularly inspects it to legally drive Legally forces you to pay Insurance (companies) so they can pay for other people's accidents Fuel needs big government subsidies to stay under $5/gallon Government can revoke privilege to drive any time Bicycles: Not required to register No inspection requirement Bike insurance optional. Not required No need for government subsidies Biking privilege cannot be revoked.

The wildest thing about these types of videos, from the US perspective, is how you see the "before" video and think it's the "after"
A screen capture of a news item thumbnail from a FOX affiliate station. The header says "DEADLY PRANK" and the title is "Georgia teacher dies during prank"
I watched through the whole segment to see what actually killed him. I was expecting some exploding poo bag that caused a gas rupture or something. Not "kids do normal, harmless prank and then hit and kill him with a car while trying to get away"(no link due to FOX affiliate station)

call your insurance folks and talk to them. I have my policy with Travelers.
I mean, EV cars still get flat spots on tires if they sit too long XD
I specifically changed my coverage to reflect the mileage i drive, which is similar to you. I drive from Sacramento to Chico and back a few times a year to visit family and occasionally drive over the mountains to Napa & Sonoma to clear my head and...that's it. It's literally a recreational vehicle.
Same here. I just share car nerd info bc some folks don't know about flat spotting or tank varnish.
You should be fine then. I have to use mine once a month to stop the battery going flat so i take it to the grocery once per month already
If you're planning on basically storing your car, i think it might be a good idea to put fuel stabilizer in the tank. Also make sure you move it enough once a month so that the tires don't flat-spot
“Providing the homeless with a place to live may seem like a high taxpayer cost. But the alternative, it turns out, is more costly, research shows. Subsidized accommodation could actually be a bargain for the public, in purely economic terms.”

Without even having the same problem, I feel this so firmly. Like...bring ANYTHING else...
Set myself up living downtown with a bicycle so that I don't need my car for anything other than going out of town to visit family and even that I can take a bus for if I remember to bring/take Dramamine first. It's just really fucked that not needing a car is considered a luxury in most of the USA.
