[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Born and raised in LA and I could care less about these fires.
LA is grown so much in last 40 years  there are people over consuming the water of 5 states and building in geographical areas that are nearly inaccessible for a response by heavy equipment.

Let it burn and limit rebuilding to 1 out 10 homes.
Maybe people will move from a freaking natural desert not sustainable for mass
Human populations.

At least 5 people are dead. Thousands are suffering trauma you can’t imagine. Try to act like you at least have cognitive empathy.

Check your water statements. Do you want California agriculture to stop? That’s where the majority of the water goes. It’s not a population issue.[/quote]

I did not say I want anyone to die.  Do you know that area?
The outskirts of LA to Lancaster and Victorville are straight up desert and where NASA did all their X planes testing.  Like where we tested experimental aircraft because it was a freaking desert and there was desert, military bases, rattlesnakes Joshua trees and jack rabbits.  Not Many people.  If there was a fire there was no congestion to get out.

I am fine with a small amount of people living in areas where nature does not support it; but when you turn it into Fairfax county and then the palisades into McLean with mountains what do you expect?

That area has always had high winds in the winter since long before man was on earth.  And, yes, little water - hence it is a desert.

Like I said - some places mother nature is going to flex and people should take notice of her warning.

You cannot city plan in a f’n canyon neighborhood with single point of failure surrounding you.  These are big mountains and winds, egress and water are all limiting factors.[/quote]

Okay. So where are relocating these millions of people?[/quote]

“Where are relocating” - you need to complete a sentence with a pro-noun there.

If you used “we” you are a complete idiot.  Not society’s job to relocate people from illogical places to live.

If you used “they” then you are still pretty much an idiot.  They are the evolved superior species on the planet - they can figure it out for themselves for a more logical habitat.[/quote]

Oh, so you want wealthy Californians to buy up all the land in the tiny chunks of the country where there is lesser climate risk? That seems totally workable. 🙄

Question: do you ever talk to human beings other than your mom when she brings you your lunch to your basement hole?[/quote]

Like I said, I know this area.  I grew up there.

It is a lot more populated now.

If rich people want to buy the lots for pennies on the dollar, and have no hope of insurance and assume all risk have at it.

Then, after the next inevitable fire rolls through, those rich dumbasses lose millions on their unsustainable mansions maybe the next buyer will get it - this location sucks.

And in real estate- location is everything.

[b]I would type more but mom is folding my laundry and asking why I still have my vibrating bunny.[/b][/quote]

You didn’t need to say that. It’s obvious from your posts. We all knew already. [/quote]

Yeah, doubling down on sarcasm is like talking about yourself in the third person.

It just does not work.  Someday you will be witty.

The fair insurance collective most palisades homeowners have since they could not have traditional insurance will raise all California’s insurance rates as it will hit 10-20B.
The fund has like 500m - and by CA law
Can collect from all homeowners.  So all of the state homeowners pays for the average 3.5m palisades homes.[/quote]

Jeez.  What a nightmare.  Not good public policy.[/quote]
