The State should take some money out of their billion dollar surplus and subsidize the homeowners who’s home owners insurance has been severely impacted by these firs; many arsons and many caused by PG&E and mismanagement of forests instead of the State taking our tax dollars and subsidizing billion dollar corporations like PG&E. Tens of thousand ms if not more have lost their home insurance due to no fault of their own. The insurance has gone up over a thousand percent in five years. People ask why the rents have risen so high in this county and put their heads in the sand to the causes. The County raises the Property Tax every year. The citizens of this county voted in a UUSD Bond for 150,000,000 and four other fire and Mendocino College Bonds to go directly into the home owners. For my one house alone the UUSD bond is 1,250. Every year. That is thousands of dollars added to every single home along with the thousands of dollars in property taxes that keep going up. There is no way that people are going to rent their home at a loss. These costs are passed onto the renter. If you don’t want high rents or property taxes then stop voting in Bonds. Make these government or government subsidized agencies balance their budget like every family in the county is forced to do.
Why don’t they just take a drive out Redwood Valley towards Tomki and Fisher Lake and assess for themselves how the rebuilds are still in progress 5 years later with dead trees all up and down the road. The portion of survivors who’ve moved back still working to rebuild and move on every day, and empty lots where neighbors used to live still sit.
It’s all about mental health availability.
