ParticipantWhen deciding where to live in San Diego there are many factors to consider. Sure, you can find homes in San Diego in less fireprone areas than RSF or 4S, but then you can have other problems that effect your daily life–old homes that have not been maintained (think: termites and mold) no CC&R’s–so your neighbor, can park his truck on his lawn if he wants to–high crime, gang activity, drugs, terrible schools, and the list goes on and on.
As I’ve mentioned before, we love Rancho Santa Fe, but that’s just our preference. If someone is happy with where they live, why do they really care where someone else chooses to live?

ParticipantMore on Shelter in Place: it is a last resort according to the experts. Witch Creek fire not a valid test!
“Shelter-In-Place in San Deigo, CA Passes First Challenge (Wildfire News & Notes – December 2007)

The county policy defines shelter in place as “a last-resort design concept with relocation (evacuation) of residents to a safe location being the preferred action.” No projects incorporating the new guidelines have been submitted since the standards went into effect, county planning officials said. Paul Marks, chairman of the San Dieguito Community Planning Group that reviewed the existing shelter-in place projects, said he remains skeptical that the idea worked in this week’s firestorms.
The Witch Creek fire was not a valid test because the threat to those particular communities was not significant enough, he said. Richard Montague, whose Firesafe 2000 company of retired fire chiefs prepared some of the shelter-in-place plans, said the guidelines only work if homeowners and their communities maintain the strict standards for landscaping, construction and other improvements. Joel Hirschhorn, author of “Sprawl Kills – Better Living in Healthy Places,” says shelter-in-place developments might provide “a second line of defense” but they can’t overcome the problem of building homes in suburbs subject to wildfires.”March 25, 2008 at 11:34 AM #176304ParticipantMore on Shelter in Place: it is a last resort according to the experts.

State Legislation Gives Tax Credits to Homeowners to Protect Homes
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors Tuesday unanimously endorsed state legislation that would give tax credits to homeowners who make improvements to their properties to protect against wildfires.
AB 1912 was introduced by Assemblyman George Plescia, R-La Jolla, following October’s devastating firestorms in the region.
If the legislation is approved by the Legislature and signed by the governor, homeowners could get tax credits for making modifications to their properties that reduce the vulnerability to wildfire, such as replacing roofs, decks and siding with fire-resistant materials.
