scratch that, I more specifically mean areas prone to disasters on a very high frequency (as in more often than our 1X every 100-150 years major earthquakes).
Another difficult and fascinating question. I'd suggest the answer, in most cases, is less about whether we live in "disaster-prone" places and more about how we live there and whether we can cost-effectively prepare for and/or mitigate the risks.
For those of us who don't live there, it may be tempting to look at a place like Paradise and say "well, people shouldn't live there." But what are people going to say when the "Big One" comes and renders potentially several thousand of us dead and hundreds of thousands homeless?
Whatabout climate change (much of which might be created through this sprawl development) changing the frequencies and severity of these disasters, or that those in urbanized areas likely subsidize those who enjoy country living? Difficult questions indeed.
