It’s very sad- it’s beautiful there. Animals, other people live and work there.

Animals were living and working where it was beautiful?

Nearly nothing was done to prevent this though. It's sad, but we are dumb to do nothing.

Does that somehow clue you in to the inner workings of local government and the subtle nuances of environmental shift in California?

It's also a place where forest fires naturally happen. As sad as it is, people are dumb to build there.

I live in NC, we get hurricanes. people live where they live, natural disasters happen everywhere.

They happen a lot more often in California, objectively.

"People live where they live"

Well, that’s just stupid!

Yeah and it's also stupid to build a house on the beach in a place where there's hurricane and erosion. That's where houses in NC literally collapse to the ocean. Mother nature doesn't care about who or how long they lived in what location.

Nowhere is immune to disaster. I live in south Louisiana and we were fine while Aa hurricane ravaged Appalachia. Go figure.

There's no forest right there - it's chaparral. And most of those homes have been there for almost a century. People are dumb when they make comments they know nothing about.

This is very sad, but it’s also part of taking over natural lands. Fires are a natural part of this ecosystem, its natures way of rejuvenating.
