No a damaging earth quake will just make prices rise even more because of further supply reduction. Is Google going to move it's HQ because of an earthquake?

No a damaging earth quake will just make prices rise even more because of further supply reduction. Is Google going to move it's HQ because of an earthquake?
- jarek 12y agoIs Google going to keep its HQ in an area newly bereft of non-collapsed infrastructure and non-dead significant portion of employees? Are the hipsters going to be as attracted to SF when their favourite restaurants go up in gas fires and the Dolores hill slides?
- mahyarm 12y agoPeople here in the SF bay area think that cities will implode like it's the apocalypse when a major earthquake happens. But that never actually happens, and only approaches it in developing countries. Most buildings in the USA can withstand a major earthquake due to building code regulations. I bet if the SFBA had a major earthquake, not counting a tsunami, at most about 5000 non elderly adults would die, which is a miniscule number in a metro area of ~7.5 million.
