@wstrachan, I’m in Napa. How close to Napa are you?
Hah! I wish I were up in wine country! I’m down in SoCal. Visited Napa a couple years back and really enjoyed it up there. I envy you.
I wish I were in Napa as well.
Living in the desert is not so great in the summer.
Oof… yeah, it was pretty hot last week but this weekend looks a little cooler. Hopefully its not too bad out there for you.
very few safe places in Northern Baja any more
we were in SF Valley for 2 quakes, rebuilt our home from the bones last time 1994
actually very few safe places anywhere any more
moved a bit above the border and suffered a 100 year flood on our creek frontage
Belfor redid our house and drilled pylons for our foundation to stop slippage
so we are pretty good for the faultline off our coast not shaking us to bits
’course the resulting tsunami is still problematic.
(do not let your insurance lapse)
Yep. You should have seen the damage from the Oct.’17 fires! We still have a huge housing problem because of that. That’s on top of the earthquake problems just a few years ago.
I was recently talking with someone that had lost his home during 2017 fires and I ask if he had considered moving out of the area. Take the money and run, so to speak. He said if the insurance did a cash payment so that you could relocate, there would be a minimum of a 20% reduction in the payout!
My wife has the idea that we will move to Arizona when she retires. She’s always complaining about being cold.
I, on the other hand, roast anytime it hits 70 degrees.
