You will surely receive a lot of angry replies from those who feel that
property rights are more important than any others.  This is an 
unfortunate aspect of California culture; while it is a progressive
state in many ways, the lawmakers are petrified at the thought of being
perceived as 'anti-property' -- it would cost them their jobs.

My advice:  If you want to stay in California -- where "personal
freedom" and "property" are the great sacred cows, where one third of
the drivers are allowed to be uninsured because, after all, "it's their
car, so they have the right to drive it" -- don't expect any improvement
in the rental situation.  Learn to live with it. 

If you can't stand it, move to Boston, New York, or any other place
where social maturity has triumphed over the paranoid worship of
"property".
