[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop buying/rebuilding homes in very disaster prone areas.

Pro Tip -  need the home is uninsurable or the rates are unaffordable, don’t buy there. Insurers are telling you something. You just don’t want to hear it.[/quote]

We're talking about a lot of people who are older, been there generations, couldn't afford to buy right now without leaving their home state. The lack of compassion is astounding. I don't think anyone on this board is currently home shopping in LA.[/quote]

True, but this is a typical East Coast response to any disaster in California. We are fairly hardened to it. East Coasters only believe their disasters matter. [/quote]

NP. I wish people here would please stop the crass generalizing about and stereotyping of both East Coasters and Californians.  I'm in VA and of course I, and everyone here I've bern talking with today, believes this disaster "matters." More than that, many of us have friends, family, colleagues in the LA area and we're extremely concerned. Im sitting here just having read that a friend whose area had been safe is now preparing to evacuate. And we've heard nothing for days about another friend who is disabled and would need extra time to get out. There are other friends and acquaintances out there who are likely to lose their homes--one has already said his house of many years is gone.

Just stop the self-centered blame games and get some perspective. Posts about how "all East Coasters think X" or "all Calfornians deserve this just for living there" are immature and arrogant in the face of this tragedy.[/quote]
