Right but if the low intensity ones are repressed that leads to higher intensity ones plus climate change exacerbates the situation making former low intensity ones higher intensity due to increased drying and erosion cycles. Makes the most sense not to allow development imo.

Climate change is certainly exacerbating the situation but from what I’ve read these areas are also historically acclimated to burning https://www.coastal.ca.gov/fire/ucsbfire.html

We do need to acknowledge that certain climates like historical fire zones and the swamps of south florida were never well fit environments for development. We need strategies for moving people out of those areas rather than dumping money into trying to artificially make them fit our preferences.
