Watch the video. Watch any video on the decimated quality of life for those in CA's major cities. CA's hyper green bureaucracy is the cause for much of the wildfires and their exponentially fast rates of growth and coverage in short periods of time.
Trust me, I know about the horrible quality of life in CAs major cities.

My biggest gripe is the trafic. My second biggest gripe is crime. My third biggest gripe is the illegal aliens, and my fourth biggest gripe is the homeless people everywhere. Housing prices are a giant gripe for a lot of people. It's an overgrown, over-developed sprawling mess which needs to stop growing.

AFA the wildfires are concerned ... there is plenty of blame to go around. The PROXIMATE (ie immediate) cause of the most recent devastating wildfires is PG&E's failure to trim trees under powerlines, and failure to replace aging towers and lines. Strong winds and hot temps caused the lines to droop and swing into untrimmed trees, which provided (literally) the sparks that set off multiple fires in multiple locations. REGULATIONS WERE IGNORED. PG&E was also responsible for the gas explosion that took out part of San Bruno.

Then, there was the 80 mph wind. In those winds, there is no such thing as "too big to burn". ACT OF GOD. The people of Fort McMurray in Canada know all about that!

Then on top of that, the more rural towns which experienced huge growth booms failed to put in properly-size evacuation routes, as required by law. So they were trying to evacuate a city of 100,000 on routes that could accommodate only 25,000. REGULATION IGNORED.

Then there was forest mismanagement. People LIKE dense forests, it looks more scenic, but the forests should have been thinned to about 60 trees per acre. BAD POLICY. (altho, with 80 mph winds its like fanning a fireplace with a bellows ... not sure that ANY thinning would have done any good!)

Kind of a clusterfuck all the way around, wouldn't you say?

HA!

Nah, that'll just make a bigger mess.

For all that people claim to hate CA, I see an awful lot of license plates from everywhere else ... here. Just driving to Lowe's we saw Wyoming, Mississippi, and Indianna. The place just keeps on growing, it's kinda like the borg.

I'm giving it a 50/50 chance that the LA Mayor doesn't survive this, and no bounty will be necessary.
