    They just need to not allow any insurance cancelations on policies paid up and only rebuild not fire resistant homes, cement, metal roofs are a most, metal shutters on all windows.

      The reason why a lot of California homes are built with lumber is that more fire resistant materials like bricks and cement collapse during earthquakes.

        Other earthquake regions in the world build their houses with concrete and cement as well. It‘s possible.

        However, structures that are resistant against fire and earthquake might be costly.

          There’s not a single thread about this fire where some Californians have excuses for why they simply can’t have their entire state burn to a crisp year after year. They really on that brainwash shit

      And cap insurance profits & executive compensation instead of premiums. A cap on premiums makes insurance non-viable even for a non-profit if the risk is too high, while a cap in profits lets it be valued appropriately. The cap on executive compensation is needed because without that they’d raise premiums excessively & pay themselves the extra instead of accumulating that as company profit for their stock price.
