[quote=Anonymous]I don't think people understand that the houses that burned are a drop in the hat of LA county homes. There isn't going to be any vast exodus out of California. A few miles north of Palisades two months ago 200 homes were destroyed by a wildfire in Camarillo, CA with a population of under 70,000. It barely makes the news anymore.

The Camp fire, which charged through the Butte County, CA town of Paradise, killed 85 people and razed around 10,000 homes which was more than 90 percent of the community’s homes. Then entirety of Butte County is only 200,000 people.

In Maui over 99 people died and over 2,000 homes were destroyed. Maui only has a population of 241,000.

LA County has 9.6 million people. The Westside of LA County (areas such as Brentwood, Century City, Malibu, Marina Del Rey, the Miracle Mile, Pacific Palisades, Playa Vista, Venice, and Westwood, etc) has a million people.

Of course it is tragic and for so many homes to burn in such a small area is horrific. However, many of the homes were second homes or short-term rentals. But a few weeks from now it will be business as usual in LA. [/quote]
