Stupid.

I even KNOW people who have built in places that the vegetation REQUIRES wildfire to propagate, the roads are narrow enough that firefighting gear could probably not even get there, and now they are pissed that no one will insure them?

Why should my insurance and taxes go up to encourage people building in areas they shouldn't?
