re: checking Drudge, looks like L.A. could be in trouble

The problem is that places like LA are a time bomb. There will be a big earthquake one day that will cause major devastation, we just don't know if that is tomorrow or in 100 years. Honestly, now that we know the dangers of certain areas, we need to make a lot better choices on where to build. I live in NOLA, but this place will be beachfront property when I die. We need to look at the longevity of certain places we want to build at, and understand the consequences.

Also, screw living in Manhattan. Imagine what would happen in the event of a real disaster there. Why people are still living in dense urban areas doesn't make sense to me.
