if you think a giant concrete parking structure would (a) work to shelter in place in the face of a giant, wind-powered fire or (b) be appropriate in a northern California locale like paradise you are more out of touch than the president telling us we need to "rake the forest floor". I don't want to come down too hard on someone proposing an idea in good faith, but you need to dramatically re-align your perspective to truly understand the scale and scope of this problem.
We can't use simple buildings to mitigate this; it's not a minor change to forest practices. It is a fundamental convergence of decades-old policies, millions of people living in the forest interface and global climatic changes.

I think this is a terrible response. If you want to disagree with me I think you can do it without being a jerk.
