[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a canyon very close by. My childhood home, where my mother has lived for 50 years and just moved out of a few years ago (we are renting it), has been in the evacuation zone multiple times. I really wanted to sell the property in 2021 because of the fire risk but my sibling would not agree. Fire insurance alone is 10k/year. Its nuts.

The palisades fire is a monster. It is moving unbelievably fast. so many icons of growing up there--the old malibu and topanga canyon places (the reef inn, the feed store) have gone up in flames. My stepsister is in santa monica ,on the edge of the evacuation zone. My stepmother's home (she has several) is smack in the middle of the palisades too. no idea what is happening there.  I just heard about a friend of a friend's daughter who lost both her childhood homes--divorced parents, each lost their home. I know that I will hear about more losses.

The high school is gone. Its been around forever, and was a major school for so many areas (including where I grew up)--poof. Where will the kids go? Such disruptions have huge ripple effects, for years, on kids.

Rebuilding will happen, but slowly, painfully, not entirely.  And lots of people will move-- north, and east and elsewhere, because as much as california is a dream, it is also a nightmare. I love the state with all my heart and its heartbreaking. [/quote]

I know a billionaire who has a second home there who was posting on IG and was on the news to discuss. Will be interesting to see if she and all the movie stars help others less fortunate. [/quote]

I think we all know they won't.  At least not on a large scale.[/quote]
