    People need to start having realistic conversations why they are building homes in places prone to natural disasters climate change or not.

    Why is there a need for people I live in beach condos that require all that extra maintenance and are hurricane path?

    Why build them near areas know for wild fires?

    They over build these dangerous areas and now being checked by nature. There is a probably a reason why these areas were not settled that’s much until modern tech allowed people to brute force into them.

      You can still build in wildfire zones as long as you don’t clad your house in tinder. Which I’m guessing is the bulk of the homes that burned. Roofs in particular are the major source of catching embers because it’s all flammable material. Make every house have metal roofs and fire resistant siding and this level of destruction is far less likely
