Re: So do we rebuild all the structures burned in kali, the
About 3000 homes and commercial building have burned down now. I am sure most are insured. We have had ten employees at work lose their homes. It is bad. We have really high winds right now and until those chill out I don't know this stops.
The north bay is mostly vineyards and is the least densely populated part of the area. If this crosses over to the east bay, it will be total pandemonium as 2.5M people live in the east bay.

Anyone know who started the fires? Is anything sinister suspected?

Re: So do we rebuild all the structures burned in kali, the
my point was about the discussion after the hurricanes about building near the coast, at least with the flooding and stuff many of the structures can be fixed and repaired. With the fires it is all completely gone (except for the chimneys) And every year part of Kali burns. Of course the ultimate point is if you only build where there are no risks all of america would live in a very very small areaBay_area_Hokie wrote:About 3000 homes and commercial building have burned down now.

Re: So do we rebuild all the structures burned in kali, the
Most of the big cali fires though are in the forests....3000 buildings is way outside the normal amount. The infamous Oakland Hills fire in 1991 was 3000 houses and 25 deaths. This is about the same right now(17 deaths). It would be nice if it rained about now, but none is forecasted.cwtcr hokie wrote:my point was about the discussion after the hurricanes about building near the coast, at least with the flooding and stuff many of the structures can be fixed and repaired.

As long as its a private insurance issue then I have no problem with it. Let the market decide.133743Hokie wrote:They have insurance that they pay for, just like you and I.
But don't a lot of disaster areas receive federal funds to help rebuild? No tax $$ should go to rebuild homes/businesses that are just going to be destroyed again in a few years.

It would be great to think everyone has insurance but some people that do not have a mortgage forgo insurance.

I think the disaster funding goes for infrastructure and general cleanup, short term care/relief, etc. Not for rebuilding personal homes.FireFuente wrote:As long as its a private insurance issue then I have no problem with it.

Re: So do we rebuild all the structures burned in kali, the
when they were talking to the fema guy in houston there were immediate funds (like $500 no questions asked type funds) and then once you applied longer term funds, was not sure if that meant straight give away or low interest loan type stuff133743Hokie wrote:I think the disaster funding goes for infrastructure and general cleanup, short term care/relief, etc. Not for rebuilding personal homes.FireFuente wrote:As long as its a private insurance issue then I have no problem with it.

Re: So do we rebuild all the structures burned in kali, the
Lots of Chinese and Hong Kong nationals pay cash for houses in the Bay Area. It kills people when they go to buy at place and they have to compete against all cash offers. There are so many empty, expensive condos in SF, owned by folks from Asia. They park their money in the real estate, as they feel they will get low risk and high return.cwtcr hokie wrote:I agree but people are paid alot also, with actors and such and tech people, I would guess that some have no issue paying cash for a placeBay_area_Hokie wrote:Houses here are so much money here it is hard to imagine a house owned free and clear with no insurance.cwtcr hokie wrote:Kali has already been declared a disaster area (same as the hurricane affected areas)FireFuente wrote:As long as its a private insurance issue then I have no problem with it.

No one who does not have insurance should get any tax money....period.
Looks like the only thing 1984 got wrong was the date.
Re: So do we rebuild all the structures burned in kali, the
Kali was declared a disaster area when Jerry Brown took over. Still is.
We lived through Obama, you'll live through Trump

buckwheat, alot of the agriculture in kali in the mid to southern part of the state is only possible by piping in alot of water from out of state..... thus why kali has such a large water issueHvilleHokie wrote:I know facts are hard for you Cletus.

Re: So do we rebuild all the structures burned in kali, the
You really struggle staying on task don’t you? The fires are in wine country, not the Central Valley. Wine country is not a desert as you assert in your first post of this thread. Not even close.cwtcr hokie wrote:buckwheat, alot of the agriculture in kali in the mid to southern part of the state is only possible by piping in alot of water from out of state..... thus why kali has such a large water issueHvilleHokie wrote:I know facts are hard for you Cletus.
