There are certain places where you wonder if they are any longer good places to live in or buy real estate. Its too bad because a lot of these places were very desirable places to live. Think for example Florida coastal real estate, etc.you live in canada? that place safe from forest fires? what is your policy? mow down a 1 mile radius of forest wherever anyone lives?
in california we get earthquakes. in other places there are floods, tornadoes, hurricanes. stuff happens. everyone does the best everyone can. but there are very few places in your country or mine that are immune from natural disasters. we've offered our property to victims of this fire, specifically for those who have horses (because have the capacity). we have the luxury of being local them, so can do it. you would do the same if this happened closer to you. i doubt your comment was intended in the same spirit as that from our shithead president.
Whaaoooh. My comment was nothing to do with California fires specifically and appears to be taken out of context. What I was suggesting is that due to climate change (which I am a strong believer) the world is changing and previously safe desirable places to live may not be so much any more due to climate change. Planet earth is seeing changes occurring very rapidly and unpredictably. I mentioned that that Florida seaside properties may not be a great future long term investment but said nothing at all about the current Cali wildfire. BTW, BC to your north had a the same fires a couple of years ago. And I agree that Trump is a shithead president and his comment about the cause being "mismanagement" are totally in line with his ignorance of science and denial about climate change.
Living in Mi, the occasional tornado takes out a house or 2. But that's the biggest natural disaster's we have to worry about.
I watch all these Huricanes / Floods / Fires / Earthquakes / Mud slides and think you know 3 month's of winter might not be that bad.
But it does amaze me how we keep rebuilding in these areas with very little done to save the house from the next event (which specifically flooding) seems to happen ever few years.
