    The map was a public acknowledgement of the problem. It turns it out people in affected areas don’t want to acknowledge the problem.

      That’s simplifying it a bit. It wasn’t particularly accurate because it didn’t really take into account the fire-proofing that people had done to their properties while insurance companies were planning to use it to set rates. It wasn’t meant to be used the way it was.

        A map isn’t going to take into account and individual building’s fire resistance. Also, it isn’t like insurers didn’t have their own internal maps.

    Because they want to be able to sell to some sucker without them knowing they are buying a fire risk.

    “Who would decide to move out here after seeing that?” one asked.

    After seeing these morons spouting off lies and conspiracy crap I’d say the residents were an even bigger turn off.

    They shouldn’t spend public funds on fire fighting in those regions then. You didn’t want to know, you lied, you spread lies, and you didn’t want any fire safety regulations so reap what you sowed.
