This whole area of LA is completely liberal government mindset- has been for decades. Pacific Palisades is full of Hollywood types. Executives, writers, actors, studio workers- it’s 90% hard core liberals- This is exactly what they don’t plan for- Most have 2nd and 3rd homes in even nicer areas. This was the perfect storm- a once in 100 years event. Only 100 years ago there were a few small ranch houses.

[@scirinagonzalez287]

Agreed

[@karlabritfeld7104]

True

[@inLmgb]

It's not only rich people and celebrities living there. This report paints an incorrect picture. Many of the 24.000 people living in Pacific Palisades have been building their lives there for generations before the celebrities bought themselves in. Many middle class families who were living there for centuries. Sure, the value of most properties went up enormously in the last decades because of rich people buying themselves in, but that does not mean that everyone was super rich. Up the canyons are also rather regular homes destroyed or threatened. Also in other parts of LA and SoCal. It's terrible and my heart goes out to everyone who loses their home, their memories and all their personal belongings, be it from fire, water or hurricanes. But this fire catastrophe this week is at a scale that it would get this much exposure anywhere.

[@josecarranza7555]

Not true. I live in SoCal and every fire we have, the news is there.

[@zoeyrochellezhombie829]

85-90 % of forest/brush fires are started by humans whether by accident or on purpose.

[@wizarddragon]

and Human caused Climate Change makes these events even worse.

[@swoopest]

Hmm. Yeah maybe not.... Lightning is a leading cause of wildfires in many areas, including: Australia In the 2019-2020 Black Summer Bushfires, lightning caused more than 90% of the area burned. Boreal forests Lightning is the primary cause of wildfires in intact extratropical forests, accounting for 77% of burned areas. In North America, lightning strikes account for more than 55% of the total burned area in the boreal forest. Canada Lightning strikes ignite half of all wildfires in Canada, and account for 67% of land burned. West Lightning-sparked fires account for nearly 70% of wildfire-burned land in the West.

Southern California here: We live with earthquakes and annual wildfires. Much is made of wealthy Pacific Palisades, and there are many more city neighborhoods on fire right now. I love how the interviewed man talked about the homes being worth $30 to $40 million dollars, and not about the fact that the residents CHOSE to buy in a area that has only one or two ways out. What the governor needs to be asked is how many new reservoirs were built, or repaired/upgraded, and (more importantly) stocked/filled with water.

[@catemccool4100]

With only one or two ways out, it was also one or two ways in and they thought that protected them from the riff raff. Ironic.

Wooden fences will absorb moisture from the ground or potentially the rain, the coast is very wet place to live, whereas the wooden structures are pure tinder, they are covered by moisture barriers, sitting there completely dry for decades. Trees also are filled with water in every cell as living things. I mean, I think if a fire is moving fast enough, it might pass with minimal damage something like a tree. If it burns long enough, of course the trees and fences will burn too. I watched a forest fire coming DOWN a mountain towards our neighborhood until the firefighters got it put out, and it was fast even coming down, and scary. That was in Washington state.

Mmmmm brick buildings seems to have done ok…..not so the ones made of reinforced cardboard, shame.

[@WellActualllyyy]

we don’t build out of brick because of earthquakes which at least used to be much more common than these fires…

[@Wiz1-i2w]

Let's get real common fires do not create this decimation. Shall we take a look at the other incidents that look exactly like this? The trucks burnt out concrete steel everything still burning and smoldering? Nothing fishy to everyone

I wouldn't build a house in Antarctica and be surprised by the occurrence of heavy snow, or expect heavy snow to be prevented for my convenience. Little sympathy for the 0.1% either.

Wow. Insane. My little sister lives in Playa Vista. She’s safe for now but just.. wow. This is nuts. She’s only lived there for a year. It’s interesting because my dads house burned down 13 years ago. The house right beside mine burned down in the middle of the night 20 feet from my bed last November. Now an entire city is burning like 15 minutes from my sister? This has GOT to be the last fire my family experiences right? All 3 (so far) we’ve been protected, but it’s still traumatizing.

[@VenerableDuSommet]

Sorry to hear that. Praying for your and your family's safety. Stay strong.

[@karadizon4299]

Los Angeles have endured so much these past days. We have never experienced such an horrific fire and wind storm in history. We feel so abandoned by Newscum and Bass who has cut off water resource. Fire hydrant lacked water to reduce fire in Pasadena which is home to Rose Parade & Newscum & bass also defunded many firefighters. Many family who lost their homes are devastated and they lost everything including memories in their home.
