Sen. Feinstein: Stop Building In Fire-Prone Areas

(CBS 5 / AP) WASHINGTON California’s senior U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein said local officials should start using zoning laws to keep residents from living in fire-prone areas.

Feinstein, who used to be a county supervisor and mayor in San Francisco, said the zoning authority that local governments have could limit catastrophic fires by keeping subdivisions out of dry areas prone to Santa Ana winds.

CLEARLY the fires in SD are, as I have said over and over again here, affecting “subdivisions” that are STUPIDLY built on remote hilltops, canyons and valleys.

The BEST thing to do regarding preventing damage caused by these kinds of fires on lives and property is…

…not building your houses and businesses in remote canyons, hilltops and valleys.

Robert: “SFL the areas burned in SD area are neither remote nor wilderness areas.”

Look at this image and then try to tell me again that the fires are NOT in remote wilderness areas.

FAO, SFL is too stupid to know what Soylent Green is, and Neither is Olbermann, who is SFL’s thinker.

Well I can give one realy good reason for everyone to not live in cities. It’s really damned difficult to plant a field of crops between the skyscrapers. It is rather amusing here in Phoenix though as there are cattle feed lots, cotton fields, alfalfa pastures and watermelon fields that are literally between some suburban towns and the outlying developments. With the current growth in the western part of the valley, there will eventually be farmland in the middle of one of the outlying cities. But then again what do you expect from a city named Surprise, AZ.

“Hey Ted, instead of calling it “stupidâ€, why don’t you offer an idea on WHY it is a GOOD IDEA to put houses and businesses in high fire risk areas?”

I already did in post 27, but you conveniently over looked it. Here is another anaolgy like your “urban sprawl” myth:

People wouldn’t be mugged as much if they didn’t live in the city. So to prevent property loss due to mugging, everyone should move into the country.

Yeah, I know- that sounds stupid, but it is exactly what you are saying.

I don’t have to provide a reason why- it is a simple fact. Like the sky is blue and the grass is green, people can choose to live in the cities or in the country. but this is completely irrelevant to the issue. “Urban Sprawl” has nothing , absolutely zilch, to do with the super-fire that have been cause lately. There is no correlation.
