No, those are small settlements in forests, like Paradise. A bushfire won’t make it through LA or anything like that. Nature should be left to nature, and we should increase density in cities, that reduces the damage humans do to the environment overall, instead of having sprawl taking over forests.
I live in a city where about half of everyone here got stripped of insurance, we are in the foothills and a house hasnt burned down from wildfires for over a decade. You are ignorant of how far reaching these policies are, because everywhere is a fire prone area according to the insurance companies.
Also the cities that are outside of the fire prone areas areover saturated, they need to have density increased and be rebuilt but that aint happening anytime soon.
Soo, the government is making everyone else subsidise living in fireprone areas? Shouldn’t we encourage people to live in cities instead?
You do realize these “fire prone areas” are the cities in California, right?

That’s how insurance works.
Not really.
If everyone facing a similar risk pays for insurance then yes the cost of addressing that risk is shared.
If someone facing additional risk pays the same price then everyone else subsidises them.
Northern California already has subsidized fire insurance called PG&E delivery charges. It just takes a while to pay out through the civil suits.
Uggghh… you mean the upper class liberals who claim to love the poor people would actually have to live with them? No thanks!
