Perhaps the next house they won’t build in a fire-prone area. But I doubt it.
Yeah im sure they could just use their spare 2 million dollars they had sitting around after the Camp fire to buy a home in a safer area in northern California. Easy peasy.
You say this like it's a joke but insurance is a thing.
It won't be after repeat total losses, they'll call it a dangerous area and exempt wildfire from coverage then offer a wildfire addendum for an exorbitant amount. At which point people will eventually sell and investors will move in to make everything low cost shitty multi family homes. It'll be fun when they announce yet again that is PG&e not maintaining power lines.
If it gets people to move to more urban environments, that's a win for everyone
I'm not a fan of urbanization so I can't agree there, if we talk about medium density dispersed hub and spoke communities I'm with ya.
I like outside and while green walks and carless streets make it more bearable I'd still rather live on the edge with property to work.
Nah, the more urban the better. For the planet, I mean. Personally I like either middle of the woods or middle of the city, no in between. But urban consolidation is best for the health of the planet.
Density is key urbanism isn't necessarily if public transit is fast and efficient and the industrial center high density.
