If you build houses in a way that maximises combustible area per capita in an area prone to wild fires there's no amount of resources that will make it sustainable.

You can see a parallel in healthcare by looking at how European governments tax unhealthy food not to get more revenue but to prevent healthcare costs from ballooning.

But good luck getting Americans to abandon suburbs.
