How about we offer a relocation bonus to emergency personnel who work in San Francisco but live in Contra Costa County?

"A third of firefighters live in the city, while 16 percent live in San Mateo County, 11 percent in Sonoma County and 8 percent in Alameda County... This could matter tremendously in an earthquake if emergency responders aren’t able to make it into the city."

Remember, the 1989 earthquake happened on a clear, windless day. Not so 1906.

Firefighters in San Francisco have an average pension of over $108,000 for life after they retire[1]. They are doing just fine pay wise.
