building codes and what home owners are willing to pay are much of the impediment.

a good friend lives in black forest co. the home he bought had been a builder as initial owner and at twice the required fire regs at the time.

when the black forest fire in 2013 went through, all 7 other homes on the culdesac, built only to code, were burned to the ground. he lost an outbuilding and had to have windows replaced (and smoke damage) but the house was more or less intact.

fire requirements, after the waldo canyon and black forest fires, were increased for all new structures and some existing stuff, like cedar shingle roofing, are now entirely illegal.

i suspect that home insurance (or inability to get it without increased regs) will be driving "better" homes.
