[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Makes you wonder if it is an act of terrorism.  You don't need a dirty bomb or something huge to cause massive destruction. Something as small as purposefully throwing a cigarette onto dry brush can in CA can now cause mass destruction and massive financial pain for the whole country. [/quote]

Especially if your government has completely abdicated on any fuel reduction activities.  [/quote]

California already has more hybrid and EV’s than any state in the country. [/quote]

Psst: they are still denying climate change.  All they care about are a few weeds in an area they've said is way overcrowded.  They think there are no other factors than the brush they imagine is choking the whole landscape there.  The winds are not an issue.  The climate is not an issue.  [/quote]

Are you denying climate change if you rebuild in a high risk fire zone?[/quote]

No, you're just saying that you don't care if your house burns down again and will self-insure, right?  I mean, no judgment.  In the right circumstances I would totally buy on the ocean, even if it were in a house that couldn't be insured.  The right circumstances being that I could afford to lose the house or was so old I just didn't care that much if my house went into the ocean and I really wanted to live there.[/quote]

So nobody should rebuild in NC unless they can entirely self-insure, right? [/quote]

It depends on the exact plot of land.[/quote]

Ah. So you want plot by plot flood risk analysis done for all residents of NC, accounting for future risks?

Do you people live in anything close to resembling the real world, or is your entire contact with reality just the walls of your basement?[/quote]

It's already been done.  If you think that doesn't exist you haven't looked at a website like Redfin or Zillow lately.  Every single plot of land bought or sold has this kind of analysis already.  It impacts who will buy your land, who will insure it, and how much it's worth.[/quote]

Not for what you want. You don’t understand.

Again, large parts of NC were in flood zones and certainly are now. Are you taking the position that no houses in NC should be rebuilt in those zones unless the owners can self-insure? Across all of NC, and all properties that were or are now in flood zones? That flood was entirely predictable based on historic patterns and data. So what exactly do you think those folks should do? And where should they move, if they can’t afford to self-insure?[/quote]
