People are still scared of living in Richmond over "earthquakes"?

Sounds like my 80yr old aunt and uncle. They had a 1/2 acre lot on Ash St in Richmond, which they built a beautiful high end (for the time) custom home in the late 70's, with a huge shop in the back, a pool, a blueberry grove.

They gave it all up in the late 90's to move to a buddy guy special (which had significant build issues that my uncle had to fix) in that armpit of Burnaby between Kingsway & Canada Way, all for fear of "The coming big earthquake"

The kicker is that both my aunt and uncle still worked in Southwest Richmond at the time, to which they had to commute. Just blows my mind.

They moved from the buddy guy house to an older duplex property with 4 suites in the Griffiths area. They rent out the one half, and live in the other with their 48 year old sponge of a son, my cousin in the basement.

Coincidentally, they are the stereotypical type to watch and get all their info and "outrage" from fox news. Really ironic to hear them complain about immagrants in their polish accents. Or complain about government "stealing their money" when they're literal millionaires, two steps from death's door, with no grandkids to worry about leaving it to.
