So happy for James Woods…he’s one of the really good ones.
Amen.
He is as you say. It’s a miracle for him.
Thank the Lord.
I am happy for him too.
But going forward he faces several challenges.
1. There will be parts of his structures that did have damages of getting partially melted due to heat proximity. Before he closes out his insurance claims he will need to thoroughly have it all inspected.
2. His insurance will be canceled by the end of January 2026.
3. It may be impossible for a while to sell his house for what would have been considwred a reasonable price due to the core issues facing California due to incompetence and corruption in government.
4. His neighborhood is going to be a loud construction zone for the next decade.
I expect that many Californians of good means are going to carefully take stock of this crisis and consider the risks of continuing to domicile, live, spend, invest, earn, and have assets in California. Suppose someone with a 2M house in Pacific Palisades has 10M net worth. They lost the house and have 8M other assets. They could move into their “Not Cali” home or buy one to do this & remotely handle getting whatever they can salvage out of Cali. They should be careful about going to places like Denver, New California or Albuquerque, New Woke, Poor Deadend, Oregon, or See Ate All, Washington that have been kalifornicated. The blue zone blues are a big problem.
