You have a fundamental misunderstanding of insurance. It doesn't require shifting income from low risk to high risk areas. Rather paying for the risk in each area is spread out over time. It's completely possible to provide sustainable fire insurance by charging customers in each area based on actual risk, and then using reinsurance to spread the risk pool out among multiple insurers.

Of course some customers might not like having to pay market rates for fire insurance.
