Way too many people building in areas that burn every few years. Plenty of other places have forest fires, but when half million dollar homes burn it seems to generate a lot more news. A fire that burns a few shacks in Montana doesn’t generate the drama that a wiped out town, if it bleeds, it leads.
And the feds have let the state do forest ‘management’, talk about letting the inmates run the asylum, federal lands, fed’s fault regardless of what our nutters in Sacramento screech.
A half a million dollars won’t buy the LAND in Malibu.
