We can't keep pushing Californians into the wildland-urban interface with our exclusionary zoning policies. It is risking people's lives and our planet.https://twitter.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1063490441025327104 …

Malibu isn't exactly full of people pushed out of the urban core by exclusionary zoning, tho. They ARE the exclusionary zone.

2) people of less means being pushed to sprawling exurbs like Antioch and Tracy that are bad from a traffic-impact point of view, but not particularly fire prone.

Santa Rosa wasn’t just luxury housing. I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Shunting people to Antioch, Tracy, American Canyon, and Martinez is also bad.

Coffey Park was not built on the "urban-wildland interface." My point is that if you're looking for causes of people living in fire-prone areas, exclusionary zoning in the urban core doesn't have a lot of explanatory power.
