[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don't seem to understand that Pacific Palisades, Hollywood Hills, and Malibu are not at all normal neighborhoods in need of policy solutions that would address 99.9% of the rest of the country. These are ultra luxury houses owned by people who can either cover the cost of replacement without much trouble or people who have lived there long enough to be locked into extremely low public tax rates and affordable home insurance. They could have used their savings from taxes over the years to buy additional insurance or put that money into accounts for savings or to cover unexpected costs like these. [/quote]

California's governors and mayors should also have been planning for emergencies and the priority of needed public safety measures. The results of poor leadership and planning are on display.[/quote]

Actually California is top in the nation for emergency preparedness due to the climate changing and geography.  There are fights between developers and the state about building on coastal bluffs that fall into the ocean. There are fights between people who own houses teetering on coastal bluffs that want to stay.

Climate change sucks. A lot more of the US and world is going to be destroyed. [/quote]

The Santa Anna winds have been around since the beginning of time.  Dirty politicians have not, that's where the blame lies.[/quote]

It hasn't rained in LA in 8 months. That is not normal [/quote]

So the potential for catastrophic fires should have been noted by leaders in govt. [/quote]

Do you think the state of California should be watering forests and scrubland? The potential was noted and there were warnings [/quote]
The way this is dealt with is controlled burns. Florida does this and has avoided major fires. [/quote]

[b]OMG the level of stupid is insane[/b]. Florida is humid and wet, CA and the western states are arid and dry. In Southern CA there are no forests to do prescribed burns.[/quote]

Wtf do you think is burning? Dirt? [/quote]
