[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. [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]

NP- I don't get this. These are well-established neighborhoods, over 100 years old. Many folks have been there for decades, normal MC people. What are they supposed to do? Are you welcoming them in your DC mansion?[/quote]

Climate change doesn't care about your feelings or your socioeconomic class. It comes for everything.

Pacific Palisades was NOT a fire prone area in 100 years ago. Now? It is a fire prone area. That's nature kicking butts without apologies. And there's not much that could've been done aside from eminent domain and razing the homes.

But I'm sure you and all the Pacific Palisades residents would not have a hissy fit over that...[/quote]
