– As you all know fire hazard is a concern. Getting home insurance was a pain. We almost dropped out of escrow because of that. It still concerns me that majority of insurance companies don’t inusre these houses for obvious and right reason of high chance of wild fire

well said, agree with all of your points.
these homes are significantly better equipped to deal with wildfire, IMHO. if you look at most of the homes facing the canyon, at least clearance of 40-60 feet exist between structures and the canyon. if you look at some of the homes destroyed in the RB or Scripps Ranch fires in ’03 or ’07, some of them were only 10-15 feet away from brush.
In addition, you no longer have attic vents underneath the roofline that actually draw ambers into the attic during a fire.
