Why does he get no pushback on this? Gruesome Newsome is good at blaming everyone else. Seems like people will start to hate him as much as they hate DeBlasio. He’s despicable. He looks bad too. Ruining the state.

It’s not an intellectual debate, it’s not even debatable.”

Actually, it's that he can't have an intellectual debate so he just sticks to name calling.

Newsome is wrong; you are correct.

Also some people INSIST on living out in the boonies where there are few services. It's their choice, of course, but I DO NOT want to live in the boonies.
I want the conveniences of town/city life.

My emergency hospital is ten minutes away at night, fifteen during the day;
The police and fire departments are CLOSE enough to save me.
Gas and car help is ten minutes away.

No boonies for me, thankew!

Gruesome Newsome opens his big fat mouth AGAIN.

Clinton & Bruce Babbitt created “the ROADLESS policy”.....

They shut down thousands of miles of roads in our forests. They had large, string triangular gates placed at entrances of those roads off state/county nroads.

I worked for a welding shop in Nevada City, Calif & he uilt a great many of those gates.

Babbitt also had holes dug in the roads, inside of those gates, large enough to put a school bus into. NO ONE could get into the forests with fire fighting equipment.

I remember a couple of fires where ONLY the HOTSHOTS could get in & they were being parachuted into the fire areas.

Clinton & Babbitt & others should be indicted for their policies with our forests.

The illegals who are growing huge marijuana farming operations are doing so IN those forests.

They are so vicious that many county Sheriff’s won’t go into those places.

No matter how you look at the forest problems, there are many areas where Dems & Enviros have caused this massive destruction.

Probably not all of it, but if you clear crucial areas, especially approaches to developed areas, it would probably help. Regulations and laws prohibiting simple clearing of accumulated dead and dying underbrush should be reconsidered in light of recent experience. But I’m afraid authorities in the areas afflicted are driven more by political ideology than any factual arguments.
