Am I trippin to wonder why people want to rebuild in LA? Isn't that kinda just a BAD SPOT for wildfires and earthquakes?
I legit want to know....Do insurance claims only work if you rebuild in the same area?

A lot of people aren't rebuilding; they're deciding to leave, and I can't blame them. But no place is completely free of natural disasters. There's a difference between living right at the base of a mountain where a wildfire can quickly spread and living in an area that may experience an earthquake or a flood or a hurricane some day. People thought Asheville, North Carolina, was relatively safe from natural disasters and then Hurricane Helene hit and the town was devastated by a flood.
I think many people don't want to leave the area they call home, even when a disaster hits. But with a warming climate that's leading to more of certain types of disasters, they're going to have to be careful about choosing a location to live. You can't escape disasters entirely, but you can try and make sure your home is more resistant to them.
