      You can fireproof a home much cheaper.
      I get your good intention. If you would maintain certain spesific products. It would get super expensive to rebuild.

    That's basically just a house made of concrete panels. Not sure how they are linked together in a waterproof way, especially the roof panels. The question is, how is it insulated. The concrete panels by themselves do not provide very much thermal insulation.

    Not an expert but going with "improper landscaping" with this one...yet again. By way of specific example Florida does not require their homes to be built properly "up" from the ground meaning using actual *ground* to be built up first and foremost before any building be had to ensure proper drainage. In the alternative would appear all of the highways in Southern California whilst certainly mitigating fire risk obviously to the City itself are not a sufficient fire break against the Seasonal #santa_ana_winds a very well known local phenomenon hence the name #santa_ana so imagine if you will a fire racing *DOWNHILL* not up...that is what the Santa Ana Winds are. "Improve the land first and not even have a structure of any kind" means there is less to catch fire and burn down yes, yes? 😊😊

    lol, this is basically just homes in Europe. European homes are typically built with fire-resistant materials like concrete, brick, or stone, and often feature plaster interiors instead of drywall. Stricter building codes and durable construction methods make it uncommon for homes to burn down completely.
    My family and I immigrated to the US after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Leaving an impoverished life, when we got here, we were expecting some kind of futuristic metropolis, and were blown away when we saw power lines on poles above ground and thin, wooden homes.
    My mother spent almost a decade exiled in a communist work-camp, and that was the last time she’d seen power lines above ground. In the old country, when a home burned, because it was all concrete, one would repaint and refurnish it, and the family would simply move back into the same home. The structure itself always remained intact.
    We had never heard of something actually burning down completely until we got stateside.

    So what are the windows in the SAM house made from because as far as I know you can't see through concrete and glass melts back into what it began as in the extreme heats of wildfires.

    • @Boston40Cal
      @Boston40Cal 13 днів тому +5

      Regardless of what the windows are made of your house will still be intact. So if your curtains catch fire yes everything in the room and many other rooms may burn but at least you have your home's entire frame and roof.

      As long as fire isn't close this shouldn't be much of an issue it. Takes 1000 degree celsius to melt glass.

    Fire resistant. Not fireproof. As a business owner he should not set him self up for a lawsuit. The stuff inside will still burn. Unless you want to feel like you are living in pelican bay your home can still burn.

      @hughickrath6671 No measurable rain doesn't start fires, people did. Also they have done 0 to maintain the brush neighborhoods and forests to prevent fires. Also the reservoirs that are now empty has 0 to do with rainfall. You know why they're empty you're just sticking your fingers in your ears and going LALALALALALA. If managed properly California should have so much water they wouldn't know what to do with it. But okay. It's climate change and Kamala lost because we are all racists and misogynysts. Keep voting blue. Hopefully more people just get out of California. The state is in shambles.
