Unpopular take: stay and fight it. We have climate tech now. Abandon = surrender.

Home is the people, not the place. If the place keeps trying to kill you, you take the people elsewhere.

The real question is whether your insurance even covers it anymore. Can't stay if you're bankrupt.

Leaving is betrayal. If everyone leaves, there's no community left to rebuild.

This is actually the hardest question I've seen. My family stayed through the 2018 fires and we barely made it out. Home means nothing if you're dead.
