In my state, a 750 sq ft house that is 40 years old and has no garage costs an obscene $250-300K. Want a ONE car garage? The price jumps to $400K! I give up.

My prayers for all the people that are suffering because of this terrible tragedy. Hope this will never happen again. A big hug for all of them, from Trujillo, Perú.

Imagine dozens of people dying, and thousands of home being lost because you cut funding, and your first reaction is to blame the firefighters for “not doing their job properly” honestly wtf Donald

[@vivica8207]

I think you should focus your anger on the local politicians for their failure to provide adequate services. Quit blaming Trump for everything. If you're even a real person. Who knows anymore these days.

[@elizabethheyenga9277]

Imagine a President deciding on who voted for him. You don't have to, we've got it. I've lost my faith in our country and the Christian right who should keep Jesus' name out of their mouths.

So sad, but at the same time, natural disasters like this remind us that we came to this world with nothing, and we shall leave this world with nothing. It's all vanity. Memories and love are indeed what matters at the end of the day!! Prayers to the people of California.

[@PurposelyPondering]

It's okay to cry.... this certainly warrants it. I am so very sorry for everyone's loss. As devastating as this is, thank God they're alive and healthy enough to talk about it. Prayers of strength

How did those people afford to live in Malibu? Living in Los Angeles is very expensive, financially you get drained living in LA. Worked in Malibu for two years and knew most of the business owners. Some historical businesses are gone forever.

[@user-b6e9e]

Unfortunately really. This is going to take several several years to rebuild and come back from

[@deepdivedelight]

I had a nephew renting a villa in Malibu, 2017. 35k/month was the budget cost, rent+food+school for 4 young kids+housemaid.

I am from Serbia, and even though the US had bombed my country in 1999, I feel very sad and I feel very sorry for these poor people who have lost everything. The most important thing is to be alive, to be mentally strong. Material things can be replaced. Memories will stay with you, even though you've lost photos. Slowly you will rebuild and your Government, both state and federal, will help you, and I am sure many countries in the world will help, if the US asks for help. God bless all those people who have lost loved ones, or have lost their pets or homes. I am deeply saddened by the LA tragedy... If this happened in a country like the United States, which is big, rich, and strong, imagine how much worse it would have been in countries that are smaller and poorer. God bless you all, this is devastating but you will recover.

I'm struck by the trees still standing in the yards...

[@h9ooo]

Trees were wet/living inside, houses were only dry cardboard, insulation etc.

[@willswalkingwest7267]

@h9ooo By that logic, the woods behind the houses where the fire started wouldn't have burned...

[@Bryan-od7nv]

@@willswalkingwest7267 I would suspect those trees are much more reliant on mother nature for retaining water.

[@h9ooo]

@@willswalkingwest7267 I dont know I was just improvising :p but also trees in the forest werent watered I guess they were dried out and trees in the neighbourhood were standing in more furtile well watered dirt together with other plants ppl had?

[@AF40952]

@@willswalkingwest7267 it's the dry vegetation that catches fire in the "woods" behind the houses. those mountains and canyons have been awfully dry/dead in areas. compared to the trees in the neighborhoods that gardeners and homeowners attend to regularly.

[@OldSaltyChip]

Lost my home to a forest fire in Colorado. The worse part, for me, was it killed the dream of living in the mountains. However, I felt lucky, as i know many people are impacted way worse than I was. GL out there. Wishing you the best.

I wonder why people don't have fire proof safes or vaults. I don't have money but I am going to buy one because I can't imagine the devastating feelings 😢😢😢😢

[@sharon22669]

My cousin lost everything in a house fire. Thank God he got his daughter and dogs out. Imagine every single thing gone. To not have a diaper, formula, personal hygiene items no clothes. Not everyone can run to a store and replace it. For me the most heartbreaking is things that can't be replaced....
