years back, some insurers wanted to stop issuing home policies for people near the Santa Cruz Mountains due to fire risk. Dianne Feinstein applied pressure in the Senate and with some concessions, it all went away.

this is just State Farm looking for concessions.

that general region has lots of land for sale and its CHEAP

there is at least one county out there that doesn't have ANY building codes...you can build whatever you want

less than 10% of Americans even know who McCarthy is, no one will blame him
