In California, 19 out of 20 of the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/los-angeles-worst-california-wildfires\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">biggest fires in the state&#8217;s history<\/a><\/span> have happened since 2003 and 13 of them since 2017, according to Cal Fire.<\/p>\n<p>For Miller, it&#8217;s a worrying trend that should be taken into account for any future plans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you build back exactly the same way, expect the same result,&#8221; Miller said.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of rebuilding, Miller believes state and local governments should buy out homeowners in the most fire-prone neighborhoods. <\/p>\n<p>A similar program was implemented in 2017 in Houston after <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/hurricane-harvey-irma-home-rebuilding-slow-and-costly\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Hurricane Harvey<\/a><\/span> caused $125 billion in damage.

Chien Yu, like many victims of the Los Angeles fires, want to rebuild in the same place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to be back.
