The developers meet the demand. I can't criticise that - if I had my time over, I'd be living there not here. Southern California is the nearest I've found to the perfect place to live, and San Diego is the jewel in the crown."

I have to agree on that, as I said its all about money. This set of fires is the worst I have seen in my lifetime and my relatives came to California in the 1850s.
Not enough Real Estate, loose contols on building, and folks who dont want to destroy their pretty views.. Look at some of those homes in the pictures, little Clearance from a non native tree and brush.. Those Bay trees are extremely good fuel for fires.
Im sure once all is said and done Lawyers will not need to be looking for work for a few years.
And all our Insurance rates will go through the roof......
