ParticipantGood thing we’ve got a realtor here to tell us how crazy we are. After all, we all know how reliable realtors are.
CNBC reported that at least two of the fires were the result of arson and that one of the arsonists has been shot dead by police. I’m sure we’ll find out more in the coming days.

ParticipantYeah, I don’t think the idea of drafting people to clear brush around huge homes in the mountains owned by rich people is going to fly. We are already going to have to pay to rebuild those homes with our tax dollars — not something I’m looking forward to or think should be done. Feel free to volunteer yourself to go clear brush for free though.

ParticipantI doubt we’ll be seeing something similar to the post-Katrina and post-911 region-specific booms. 911 happened right at the start of the bubble and Katrina was during the bubble. The bubble has popped now and even the few crazy speculators that are still out there probably do not want to buy in the fire zones.

ParticipantDo insurers even pay out for fires like these which may be considered “acts of nature” or “acts of terrorism”? I wonder if there might be a clause in most homeowners’ insurance that distinguishes between a fire caused by say faulty electrical wiring in the home as opposed to a massive fire like this?
This would seem to be a somewhat parallel situation to what happened after New Orleans. One side was arguing that the damage was caused by flooding and the other side was arguing that the damage was caused by the hurricane because the typical policy only covered one of those acts.
In any event, I sure wouldn’t want to have to rely on an insurance payout in a situation like this. I’m sure the insurers will fight hard and it’s not like they have infinite capital anyway. We may soon be reading about FIs (effed insurers).

ParticipantYeah, it’s smoky here too. Enough so that it’s making me woozy. Good thing I’m drunk.

ParticipantWhy does the emergency alert voice sound like it’s straight out of a horror movie?
