Actions have consequences. Maybe next time people there will think about some of the long term consequences of their actions.

I've spent a lot of time at Malibu and Pepperdine. My son played sports and graduated from Pepperdine this year.

The city is completely controlled by lefties.

The town's infrastructure is circa 1930s. Very hard to access and a magnet for preventable disasters.

Well, the houses they save in this firestorm will get wiped out by the mudflows during the rains. Its like dejavu all over again...1993?

I remember a younger Laura Diaz making her name with live coverage of the last major Malibu firestorm....running around in that tank top.

We had RECORD LOW RAINFALL last year, and the topography of the area is what it is. The Santa Ana winds are also a force of nature and were very fierce last night. Has nothing to do with “lefties.” Brush clearance has improved greatly over the years.

People like to live in this lovely combination of mountains and coastline and take the risks associated with the benefits.

This isn’t the time to speculate “blame.”
