I appreciate your bringing up the "grandfathered" reality in communities. As Southern California seeks to find sustainable ways to adapt to living in those canyons and hillsides, and even the businesses and religious edifices and schools, the materials and the designs and landscaping must be compatible with the surroundings. The Cal-Earth Institute in Hesperia has posted their willingness to help with their knowledge and expertise in using SuperAdobe and archway construction. https://calearth.org/ The future needs to be constructed differently from the past as we choose to live in the paths of fire and flood and tornadoes and hurricanes and sea level rise.
Grandfathered or not why, other than regulation would insurance companies not require "hardening" in return for lower rates? Yes, these will rise as climate change increases risks, lowering property values in more risky (in the new circumstances) places. There is not way to grandfather against climate change.
