[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, I think just living in CA - the Palisades is asking for trouble.  Given the context of wildfires these days wrecking havoc in dry conditions, goodness, you really have to be in serious denial not to recognize the potential danger of living there.  It's one thing to accept that risk and continue but another to act all shocked and surprised it's happening.

100000% this is a tragedy of epic proportions that I wouldn't wish upon anyone but on the other hand, from a very sensible perspective, given enough time, this is going to happen.  I'll tell you what else will happen in time - a major earthquake.  It's science and logic.

It's not that you need to avoid all danger all the time, it's that people need to respect how the earth works and be cognizant and practical about their choices.  Be prepared.  Be aware and informed.  Be realistic.  Just know that if you live in one of the most beautiful paradises on earth daily, around dry conditions with brush fires and Santa Ana winds - you will see a day when you might experience a wildfire burning your neighborhood down.  It's not some fantasy situation - it's a real risk and it's OK to take that risk but you can't say you never saw it coming.

The other thing I hate about it is that in choosing that reality, they hike up premiums for the rest of us who require home insurance which sucks for me.

It’s cute that you think you will somehow be immune from climate change.  I bet the people in Asheville thought that too.  Record temps, record rainfall or droughts, record storms. This is our new man made climate.  [/quote]
