because to the best of my knowledge, homeowners insurance in California is not unobtainable damookster Send a noteboard - 25/10/2019 03:07:57 AM

Standard homeowners covers fire. It does not cover flood and storm surge damage from storms. If and when the only way you can get fire insurance in California is through the government, because insurance companies won’t write it anymore, then your comparison will be valid. Till then it’s apples and oranges.

Have y'all seen this? Qatar is air conditioning their open-air markets and stadiums. TyrReborn - 19/10/2019 06:06:47 AM 777 Views
This is nothing new. Qatar has had indoor ski slopes for years. *NM* damookster - 19/10/2019 11:32:07 PM 200 Views
cold air remains low to the ground or something? *NM* Roland00 - 19/10/2019 11:32:28 PM 198 Views
Right, but... surely an enclosed stadium would be more efficient. *NM* TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:49:37 PM 189 Views
Well, the city was built... fionwe1987 - 20/10/2019 09:48:37 PM 452 Views
Excuse Me? *NM* Roland00 - 20/10/2019 11:30:28 PM 263 Views
Yeah, I get that people don't want to move. But... TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:52:03 PM 377 Views
I think the extravagance is the point *NM* aerocontrols - 21/10/2019 11:51:53 PM 195 Views
Speculating here, but... fionwe1987 - 23/10/2019 09:45:23 PM 415 Views
Why is it always the Gulf Coast that gets complained about when we rebuild? Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 07:50:35 AM 418 Views
huh? aerocontrols - 23/10/2019 12:37:50 PM 400 Views
Re: huh? Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 08:52:29 PM 405 Views
That may simply be because earthquakes are less frequent than hurricanes, especially now *NM* fionwe1987 - 23/10/2019 09:46:47 PM 194 Views
They're less frequent, but we know where they're going to happen. Ghavrel - 24/10/2019 04:42:15 AM 420 Views
No one is sneering... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2019 02:05:19 PM 430 Views
You did use the word, idiocy. damookster - 24/10/2019 02:09:45 PM 442 Views
Fair. But I don't mean it at an individual level. I think... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2019 08:46:06 PM 468 Views
Re: huh? aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 06:01:36 PM 407 Views
That means we need to abandon places where millions of people live. Just in the US. Ghavrel - 28/10/2019 02:24:36 AM 451 Views
Please read my 2nd paragraph again aerocontrols - 28/10/2019 04:06:32 PM 369 Views
Aerocontrols do you think Augusta Kansas should not exist? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 05:35:22 AM 407 Views
I think there's an argument to be made aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 05:50:26 PM 409 Views
But the Halloween flood of 98 was not like that Roland00 - 24/10/2019 06:41:28 PM 350 Views
Augusta flooded again last spring. aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 08:24:39 PM 417 Views
A little over sensitive? damookster - 23/10/2019 08:21:39 PM 388 Views
Very. I had enough of people blaming us for Katrina to last a lifetime. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 08:53:44 PM 200 Views
to my point, however.... damookster - 23/10/2019 10:27:04 PM 418 Views
I don't really know how that's relevant though. I'm not talking about insurance. Ghavrel - 24/10/2019 04:40:58 AM 405 Views
I guess my point damookster - 24/10/2019 02:03:08 PM 485 Views
Mookie why aren't you using the same logic about the California fires? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 07:53:19 PM 424 Views

California Insurance for Fire is becoming a Market Failure Roland00 - 25/10/2019 06:35:28 AM 397 Views
As someone who *lives* in California Jeordam - 25/10/2019 04:38:49 PM 438 Views
Sigh you are missing my point I was saying about Scapegoating Roland00 - 25/10/2019 09:45:48 PM 477 Views
I didn't miss what you said.... Jeordam - 25/10/2019 11:35:23 PM 427 Views
Let me see if we are on the same page here. Roland00 - 26/10/2019 01:08:45 AM 424 Views
*nods* I knew what you were saying. Jeordam - 29/10/2019 09:53:30 PM 396 Views
Are you also calling me oversensitive Damookster for I had the same complaint? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 05:30:59 AM 393 Views
I was teasing Gabe. damookster - 24/10/2019 02:06:17 PM 383 Views
Sorry for misunderstanding Roland00 - 24/10/2019 06:43:36 PM 556 Views
You do realize that all of Qatar is desert? Legolas - 21/10/2019 07:53:24 PM 410 Views
What I was really commenting on is, wouldn't it be more efficient to enclose those areas? TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:51:00 PM 431 Views
Probably. For the stadiums, I thought they did do that, not sure about the markets... Legolas - 22/10/2019 05:57:11 PM 365 Views
Most of Antarctica is desert aerocontrols - 21/10/2019 11:51:04 PM 392 Views
