Heard about the "Haywired"?


The "Haywired" is a described scenario of a Richter scale 7 earthquake on the Hayward Fault, which runs under Oakland, California.

It would cause some problems.

Study: East Bay fault is 'tectonic time bomb,' more dangerous than San Andreas
"The Hayward fault is so dangerous because it runs through some of the most heavily populated areas in the San Francisco Bay Area, spanning the length of the East Bay from the San Pablo Bay, through Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward, Fremont and into Milpitas. It is one of the most dangerous faults in the nation "because of the density of the population directly on or astride it, which would include San Francisco, and the amount of infrastructure that crosses it," [USGS earthquake geologist emeritus David] Schwartz said."

I wonder if this will have any effect on real estate prices.
