If you live in CA, you bet it won't happen to you. The place has a climate that makes you feel sometimes that God is smiling on you, even when you're an agnostic! I lived there for a decade, and nuttin' happened to me. I moved there in 1990, the year after the terrible San Francisco earthquake. The LA earthquake happened while I was living in Silicon Valley. I only felt one very minor earthquake the whole decade in CA. Although it looks awful on TV, the vast majority of people in CA are unaffected by what you see. All that said, just as in hurricane threatened areas, housing could be built that was both fire and earthquake resistant. But, would it be more cost effective than just rebuilding? Housing there ALREADY costs a fortune. Who knows?
