Clown comment. We didn't run out of water there was an isolated issue with water pressure for a short period of time.

Oh, must have misunderstood all the stuff I've been seeing with my own eyes. Like Rush used to say, "I live in Realville."

You mean the stuff you've been seeing online. I live here I am literally living through this right now. We have dumped an untold amount of water on these fires…Oh, must have misunderstood all the stuff I've been seeing with my own eyes. Like Rush used to say, "I live in Realville."
The right is suggesting the government should look after them better while also saying the government should stay out of their daily lives.

I left Los Angeles in 1993 after college due to the 4 seasons:
Fires, Floods, Earthquakes (Northridge) and Riots. (Rodney King)
33 years later, the same 4 seasons still occur.
So, climate change is not the sole reason, as it's been here for decades.
Same with drought and Santa Ana winds.
All I see is lack of preparation.....3 decades is plenty to get your state in order, unless liberals are running the state....ooops.

If we want sustainable occupation of disaster prone areas... strengthening building codes is key. That includes the structure and surrounding property.
We can make houses fire resistant. But codes do not force it.
We can make houses hurricane resistant. But codes do not force it.
It does not eliminate losses, but it drastically reduces them.
Eliminating asphalt shingles, plywood roof decking, flammable siding, foundation vents, attic vents, wood framing in exterior walls. Hardscaping in the yard. No trees within 50ft of a home.
All of this would drastically reduce fire damage. And save many homes in the process. But the codes do not force it. And special interest groups in the homebuilding, real estate, and environmental industries have fought very hard against it.
