$1B/300 is $3M.
- sagarm 4y agoYeah, order of magnitude error. Sorry about that. The question is still reasonable, though, and I would guess the answer is that it's that a ton of infrastructure needs to be replaced and rural areas have always had unsustainable infrastructure costs. Also demand for construction labor is high after wildfires so costs are elevated.
- rightbyte 4y agoAh ok ye. Makes sense. I feel still 3M per pop is like one order of magnitude to high for only the properties, land cost excluded (since the land is still there). Especially since many household are 2+ people. One would expect maybe a hasty big procurement would give twice the cost of building compared to building the houses one by one, not 10 times. Also the roads and water pipes etc should be fine still.
