Come on ... virtually all of SC county is wildlife urban interface. Almost the entire perimeter of city of Santa Cruz is Wildlife interface. No reason to eminent domain (we aint got that money) or refuse rebuilding. Just enforce fire insurance and defensible space (difficult in a forest but not impossible ... you take down the fuel not the trees).
- retrocryptid 3y agoThe city of Santa Cruz is like 10-15 miles from Big Basin, which is the area we were talking about. Last I drove along East Cliff, I didn't notice Sequoia in the concentration you get up in SLV, so I don't think we'll need to be setting off prescribed burns at the corner of Laurel & Pacific. Nice strawman though.
- thghtihadanacct 3y agoI know where SC is and its even closer to Cowell and Nisene Marks ... and there are plenty of redwoods on east cliff. My point was you cant use wildlife urban interface as an excuse to eminent domain ... E.D. is only allowed for public use and requires fair market value. Thats some expensive property and Cali already going to be running a deficit soon. Paradise park alone would be in the tens of millions. Youre not going to get the people out of the trees with that. Defensible space and fire insurance are the only stipulations available to force compliance.
