In short: More regulation and more government. That should drive the cost of homes down in a state already dealing with a housing crisis.

The insurance companies are the folks who can drive construction changes. If you are paying 5 times more than your neighbor’s fire resistant home for insurance year after year, you might not build a tinderbox.

Thomas Edison designed a poured-concrete house almost a hundred years ago. Many were built around the country. I personally have witnessed office buildings poured and erected recently. No magic required...only realism.

From what I gather almost all of the shelters are operating past full capacity. It’s a nightmare and winter is fast approaching. Poor people.

ICF houses survive fires.
They only cost 4% more to build.

The number one priority in wildfires is fireproofing the roof. Existing homes can be re roofed with fire resistant tiles.

Well.... it is winter in California so there's not much to worry about. It's not like they will be out in the snow.

Can 3d print basic home pretty cheaply. Don't think this should be mandated though
