Yes, Leslie, that is true. Example here is in Rancho Santa Fe where 3 or 4 newer developments have implemented that procedure. Many homes surrounding those communities were lost but not a single one lost in the fire protected communities. It really takes a very strong and enforced set of regulations to make that work. But... when you choose to live in that kind of environment that is what is neeeded. I do think more communities will adopt that concept moving forward. Thanks for your input.
Kristin, I think you are right. This is going to be my best vacation ever. My grandson and family get to go home tomorrow, hopefully to a still standing home. I guarantee that if that becomes a reality you will hear a big loud sigh of relief from here. You will know, I will post.
