-
The ongoing fire-devastation and impacts upon the people involved is reminiscent of wartime.  The remediation will take years to implement, and many lives have been permanently altered.  Unfortunately, much of the California leadership have been a major disappointment and well deserve scorn.

Insurers’ Rule Change Puts (All) California Homeowners on the Hook for L.A. Fire
The spiraling cost to rebuild could overwhelm the California Fair Plan, the decades-old, government-created insurance safety net
Insurers’ Rule Change Puts California Homeowners on the Hook for L.A. Fire - WSJ
A little-noticed rule change last year by California’s insurance regulator will likely shift a large chunk of the cost of the Los Angeles wildfires to homeowners across the state.
Pushed by insurers, the change puts California homeowners on the hook to pay directly toward the cost of rebuilding from very large disasters through even fatter insurance bills—whether they were exposed to the L.A. fire or not.

And so put it all together, whether it’s a deliberate policy to not store water, not preserve water. Last year was one of the wettest years that we’ve had. We’ve had three out of the last four years have been very wet. We had a huge snowpack. We had rivers that were running in 19th-century fashion, but out to the sea to save the delta smelt.
So, it was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention, force management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy. You put it all together and it’s something like a DEI-Green New Deal hydrogen bomb.
