Poll: 3 of 4 Californians want to restrict housing in wildfire-prone areas

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Three quarters of California voters believe the state should restrain home building in areas at high risk of wildfires, a new survey has found.

The University of California, Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies Poll, prepared for the Los Angeles Times, shows bipartisan support for such restrictions after deadly fires wiped out tens of thousands of homes across the state in the last two years.

"The voters think there should be limits," said Mark DiCamillo, director of the Berkeley IGS Poll.
