[quote=Anonymous][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]
Indeed, the waste of resources is jaw dropping.[/quote]

With the budget surplus they could have been burying power lines, but I guess there were more important priorities to squander the money.[/quote]

What state buries high transmission lines? These fires aren't caused by residential lines, they're cause by long distance lines [/quote]

Untrimmed trees are a source of fires. It's on the power company to maintain the trees. Trees falling on power lines are a huge problem.[/quote]

And you think burring the lines is a solution? [/quote]

No I'm thinking we just throw our hands up and say "welp, nothing we can do!"[/quote]
