[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. [b]They knew damn well the risks of wild fires and did little to prevent them.[/b][/quote]

Californian here:

Uh, what? California spent nearly $3B on fire mitigation in 2023 and spent another $4B from the Feds.

People should be angry at themselves for building in a place that is not hospitable to homes. Southern California is literally grasslands-desert.

How much more should California spend? At a certain point, this is a matter of personal responsibility. [/quote]

+1 Its like people who lost homes here in the derecho and blaming them for living there - you can't control extreme conditions like 70 mph winds. That's beyond the realm of mitigation preparations.[/quote]
