SAN DIEGO — Thousands more residents were ordered to evacuate their homes Tuesday, bringing the number of people chased away by the wind-whipped flames that have engulfed Southern California to at least 300,000.

why thank you very much. Take care
I have a home in San Diego, thankfully away from the fires at this time. But I am extremely concerned about another situation arising in San Diego and specifically Quallcom Stadium.
The place is being overrun by law abiding, well mannered, considerate, polite refugees. I find this apalling and lay the blame for this travesty at the feet of George Bush and what was once called FEMA.
There needs to be a congessional investigation into the complete and total lack of rapes, murders, theft and assaults. Where is CNN, PSMNBC and the rest of the MSM????
Disgraceful!

22 years ago, I bought a small condo in Palm Harbor Florida. It was fllod zone CCC. I didn’t have to have flood insurance.
Thanksgiving week we are going down to fix it up to sell. The state rezoned my neighborhood (and all of Florida as a flood zone) and now I can’t afford to keep it because of the cost of insurance.
You see, even if you’re careful in selecting a location, the government has to spread the rich beachfront people’s risk so THEIR insurance is affordable.
“The place is being overrun by law abiding, well mannered, considerate, polite refugees.”
Who is in their houses while they are at Qualcom? Lots of big screen tv’s running for the border? Or will the local police shoot to kill looters like they should hav in New Orleans?

Regular fire and liability insurance is pretty reasonable. Even earthquake protection is reasonable if you compare it to the cost of coverage in hurricane prone areas like Florida. The insurance on my house in north San Diego County is about $850 per year; earthquake coverage would be another $1100 or so. In Florida, similar coverage (if you can even GET insurance) would be $3000-$4000 per year. We've put off buying property in Florida precisely because of the property taxes and house insurance costs.
I refuse to buy into the idea that the view is that spectacular.
While the views ARE that spectacular IMO, it's the weather that is just about perfect. San Diego County has about the best combination of temperature and humidity you'll find anywhere (discounting Santa Ana days, of course).
