It would be if fire codes and improved materials are required. The problems arise from poor overall standards across scattered development. There were pockets of new and old. That will not be the case in these areas moving forward.

Reminds me of this concrete geodesic dome that survived previous fire seasons.
That is pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Oh... I should add, it wasn't a total success, the power poles supplying the building burned down in the fire - so they lost electricity.
A great demonstration of building for the environment
I think buried power lines would work better. Now would be the time to make that happen
You'll like the Pensacola Beach UFO house. That thing his withstood loads of hurricanes. Also note that it's cinder block. All the 50s houses built like that are still around after the McMansions get wiped off the face of the Earth.
Do you like, live in LA? I’m six miles from one of the fires and I can tell you now that putting up a bunch of dense housing where the fire was will totally not prevent fires in the future. The Santa Ana winds will continue and they’ll do so a lot more strongly if we don’t actually tackle climate change.
Probably the housing stock there shouldn’t have been built there in the first place, but they weren’t aware decades ago that we would have an event like this but now we do.
Yeah I live in Orange County in the same type of dense mess. There are plenty of standards and materials for buildings that will not burn. Building in the crap toothpick and papier-mâché style with no regulations for non flammable materials is the problem.
