🔥 California Fires Are Shaking Up Florida Real Estate—Here’s Why You Should Care! 🔥 The wildfire crisis in California isn’t just a West Coast problem—it’s sending shockwaves to Florida’s housing market! 🌴🏡 As people flee fire-prone areas, Florida is topping their relocation lists. That means home prices could skyrocket, especially in hot spots like coastal and suburban areas. But here’s the twist: with hurricanes and rising sea levels, buyers are rethinking their priorities and looking inland for safer options. 🌊 More people moving in = booming construction, more competition, and bigger pressure on local resources. 🚧 But is Florida ready for the heat? 👀 What do you think—is this a win for Florida or a recipe for disaster? Let’s talk in the comments! 👇 #FloridaRealEstate #ClimateCrisis #CaliforniaFires #HousingBoom #MovingToFlorida #RealEstateTrends

GUESS WHAT CITIES IN FLORIDA WERE BUILT IN DRAINED SWAMPS AND HAVE MAJOR FLOODING NOW : The reason that there is so much flooding in Florida in cities such as Palm Coast, Sarasota, St. Lucie, and others is because they were built in drained swamps and now nature is reclaiming. Builders were looking for cheap land to build and they found it in the 1970's in Florida and built their one/two story cities on flat slabs that used to be swamps. Up in northern USA they bring in dirt and rock and build a hill, then put the houses up, but not in Florida. This is a result of no regulations or building by a code, which results as you see in later years of today, flooding uncontrolled. The builders made big profits off of this swamp land and laughed all the way to the banks. These cities were built where there are no regulations or deregulation existed. Big Corporations and Trump plan no regulations for our future to maximize profits without worry, just like those Florida Builders of the past like in your medications, housing, food and more.

California's persistent building of homes in fire-prone areas, known as the wildland-urban interface, highlights the conflict between the state’s severe housing shortage and a #ClimateChange fueled escalating wildfire crisis. Between 1990 and 2020, nearly 45% of new homes were constructed in this high-risk zone, despite it comprising less than 7% of the state's land, leading to a significant increase in property damage from wildfires. Despite the inherent risks, rebuilding in the same locations after devastating fires is common, with nearly 60% of destroyed structures replaced within six years, often without significant fire-resistant improvements.

My thoughts continue to be with all the people and wildlife impacted by the devastating fires in the Los Angeles areas. Western Municipal Water District stands firmly in solidarity with the dedicated firefighters and water agencies working tirelessly to protect our communities. As we remain committed to keeping our water resources available during this critical time, it is important to understand that local water systems are designed to reliably provide water for everyday needs and effectively support local firefighting efforts in typical emergencies such as a single house fire. No local water system can single-handedly address the immense demands of a wildfire like the #PalisadesFire and #EatonFire that requires thousands of personnel, equipment and aerial resources. Understanding these limits helps us better plan and prepare as a community. Western Municipal Water District is committed to ensuring our infrastructure is as resilient and reliable as possible to support our communities during emergencies. This includes: - Regular maintenance of hydrants, reservoirs, and backup systems to ensure they function at peak capacity. - Investing in storage tanks, pump stations, and strategically placed infrastructure to maintain water pressure and flow. - Collaborating with local fire departments to safeguard and optimize water delivery and resource allocation during fire events. The recent wildfires continue to be a powerful reminder of how personal preparedness is critical.

At Western Water, we echo our General Manager’s heartfelt thoughts for those impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. These events remind us of the vital role water agencies play in emergency response and community resilience. While local water systems are designed to reliably support daily needs and typical emergencies like single-house fires, wildfires on the scale of the #PalisadesFire and #EatonFire exceed the capacity of any local system alone. These massive efforts require thousands of personnel, equipment, and aerial resources working together. We remain committed to ensuring our infrastructure is as resilient and reliable as possible through: ✅ Proactive Maintenance ✅ Resiliency Investments ✅ First Responder Partnerships Personal preparedness is equally essential. Take steps to stay informed and protect your home and loved ones. 🔗 Learn about Western Water’s emergency efforts: https://lnkd.in/g6RzqX98 🔗 Wildfire prep tips: Ready.gov/wildfires 🔗 Fire updates: California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Together, we can build a more resilient community. #EmergencyPreparedness #WaterResilience #WildfireSafety

If you're following the conversations around rebuilding in the aftermath of the Palisades and Eaton fires in LA (like I am), here's a more in-depth look at how the County is supporting rebuilding, steps they had previously taken to prohibit new development in high fire hazard areas, and some fundamental questions that underly rebuilding. On a more wonky note: It's also one of the first articles I've read that draws out tensions between state requirements for ADUs and local planning efforts that sought to restrict this form of development in high fire hazard areas. https://lnkd.in/exnUkXHg
