[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These homes start at $2.5M and go up rapidly from there. I bet most of these folks were self-insured.

This represents a huge, extremely wealthy chunk of the Los Angeles county tax base. Lots of families with young kids. It's as if a wild fire completely destroyed CCMD and adjacent neighborhoods in upper NW DC.

This disaster will upend Los Angeles's budget - lots of costs to clean up but also lots of these people will move away. It will only be partially rebuilt, likely with multi-family housing. The entire area will be rebuilt much differently.[/quote]

Californian here. I think it’s entirely possible that the state turns deep red politically. There is already a lot of anger at the left simmering under the surface. [/quote]

This is your wet dream isn't it. Blame the left for everything that has happened there including natural disasters. [/quote]

It's naive to think certain decisions and policies didn't make this situation much worse than it could have been. They knew damn well the risks of wild fires and did little to prevent them.[/quote]

How the F does one prevent wild fires? Like just wave a magic wand?  I mean - this is what stupid means - wildfires don't exist because of humans.  They happen whether we are around or not.  You can't prevent wild + fire. What you do is you accept them.  You figure out how to manage your expectations around them happening - what your plan is when they occur.  They will occur and reoccur and there is not a DAMN thing a human being can do to prevent them from occurring!  Like - how do you prevent to sun from rising or ocean tides??  Ugh.

Ask PG&E maybe they can give you a clue.[/quote]

They can't control hurricane force winds.[/quote]
