If your goal is to make it impossible for development to happen near forest areas, what better way to do it than to set a sufficient number of fires that fire-insurance becomes impossible to get. No insurance coverage = no mortgage issuance = no developer can get funding

That's exactly the problem where I live. I have no fire insurance. Only a very few of my neighbors live close enough to a fire station on the highway to be able to afford the movie star rates for insurance.

I have no mortgage, but younger folks who would like to build can't. They can't afford the insurance, permits and bribes that have to be paid to live in the mountains.

We once had a thriving community of miners, loggers, ranchers and businesses that catered to people who came to the mountains to enjoy nature.

We have now become a ghost town. Prosperous happy families have been replaced with crankster gangsters from the city.

The beautiful forrest the Sierra Club claims to love has been turned into a dump.

All of this thanks to the Sierra Club and the corrupt politicians who accept money from that capitalist hating communist front!

Thus only the ultra-wealthy can have homes in the hills, and have nice views uninterrupted by the homes of the peons (which is the real objective of many "environmentalists")
