I was just thinking yesterday that the entire country will be feeling the reverberations from this. Lived in Southern Maine for almost 20 years and in the 4 years after 2020 and all the chaotic stuff people were moving there from NY , Mass, and CAlifornia after the Paradise fire. Our rentals went up 4 , 5 and 6 times. . A $800 apartment i had is now renting for over 3k. Houses were going for 600k and begin sold to people from out of state driving the locals out of their own state. . I moved away and not going to say where because I bought a 3 bedroom, 2 bath ,farmhouse with a basement, and a barn for $150k. Disaster capitalism is what is happening

[@Chuck-qi8pw]

Michael, native Californian here. Yes, the politicians are part to blame about these LA horrific fires. No water from some fire hydrants, lack of water to Southern California, reducing the budget for fire departments, etc. However, the topography of the lands, with steep hillsides, mountains and the intense 100 mile per hour winds. Frankly, I don’t think these subdivisions should be rebuilt without major changes to new reservoirs, sprinkler systems, new working fire hydrants, larger budgets for more fire fighters, new fire stations, etcetc. It’s like building more electric vehicles without more electric stations to power them. What a mess !

[@ErthaRizas]

It’s been told they don’t hire minorities. I noticed the fire men were all white. I also her at times they do allow prisoners of petty crimes to help for pennies. There definitely is a race and class problem in one of the most expensive states. I am concerned about the others that can’t rebuild and don’t have other homes no where to go. Many lost jobs.

[@michaels7566]

Not just an average mudslide. If they do not immediately remove all the suburban burn’t out debris, there will be flows that clog up all storm water drains. The debris flows will contain everything including burn’t out cars.

In California, it will take a year or two just to clear the sites due to required toxic removal teams. Then several years for permits, an estate home takes at least several years to build and that is with plenty of available builders. There simply won't be enough builders that build custom homes. Estimates are 13-16 years to rebuild Pacific Palisades.

The big buyers just want the land to develope - 15 minute cities & vertical homes anyone ?

[@Dave-bm4bu]

A lot of those homes in the Palisades were not insured, as most were paid off or the insurance company pulled out of the zip code. As far as a mortgage goes, most lenders will not fund a property without Homeowner’s insurance prepaid. Therefore, many buyers are going to have to make full cash offers.

I was born and raised in Southern California. Went to USC, worked near Brentwood. These fires were not preventable, but the mass destruction was avoidable if any of the politicians would have being doing even a basic job. Clearing brush, burying cables, not allowing homeless to camp in the woods (most fires are started by homeless- google it) having a reservoir full of water and hydrants that work. And just an idea, don't cut the fire department budget by 17 million dollars just last year- thank you mayor Bass. So the democrats are responsible for this horrendous disaster. But I doubt anything will be done about it. All you can do is leave the state, so your house is not in danger thanks to woke incompetent democrat politicians. I left CA, along with over a million former residents of the once great state. The democratic woke agenda is anti people and you can't really change evil to good. That has to come from within the person. California USED to be an awesome place. I now live in Galena IL. I had no choice.

Michael, you should comment or have a discussion on the difficulties that California residents are having evacuating the fire areas with EVs The State wants to make EVs mandatory.

You are very ignorant lightning often starts fires in the summer but in this case there were no thunderstorms so I'd say this probably was human caused.

Just came to my head if there is a vegetation brush problem WHY don't they allow goats or mountain sheep or whatever A ruminant is a grazing animal with a four-chambered stomach that allows it to digest plant fiber.

They are hunkered down in a hotel or a friend or family's house. Also, while there are a lot of wealthy people and celebrities in the area, there are a lot of people who just grew up in those neighborhoods and don't know what they will do next. They're just normal people. I live in greater LA, about 20 miles from the closest fire. I'm safe but I know people who have lost their homes. It's horrible.

the insurance situation is worse than what you described, since, as a requirement to being able to operate in the state, private insurance companies are obligated to bail out the state's insurance program (FAIR) if it goes insolvent. It only has a few million to its name at this point so it will run out of money quickly, and other insurers have to pitch in. So they will have to pay even if they did not write any policies in the affected area. They will have to pay the high risk claims taken on by the state that aren't even their clients and that they did not receive any premiums from.
