I suppose these are areas where everyone has home owners insurance. I'm remembering the Paradise fire and how a lot of people just became homeless and then the Chico police came and beat the shit out of them, because their tent city on the outskirts of town was affecting property values for the city council members who owned real estate in the area.

Maybe insurance will start pulling out of Cali due to fires like it is in Florida due to hurricanes

They're already doing that. State Farm apparently canceled hundreds of policies in the area burning to the ground right now a few months ago.
