[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]

This is about the dried out brush on the forest floor that catches fire easily, and needs to be better managed.  This is not about the power company, it's about California's failed government.  [/quote]

It's probably both. Multiple fires burning, we will have to say if they can pinpoint the cause of each. They usually do, just takes time. 85% of fires are caused by humans. [/quote]
