I would be interested to read more about what'll happen in the case of the next large quake. Since we're overdue a big one[1]. I recently had a friend big on a duplex in the Marina. I'm not sure if I would take a 20 - 30 yr real estate bet in a liquefaction zone.

I have Earthquake insurance from the CEA and it was surprisingly cheap, but of course, one thing is for the insurance to cover your home repairs and quite another to actually be able to do them because if/when the next big one hits, if you think contractors/developers are overbooked now it will be 100 times worse then, basically I suspect we'll live in a tent for a while. But at least I have my own piece of land where to do that.
