Live updates: Brush fire burns in Pacific Palisades as Santa Ana winds blast Southern California - Live video at link

G'day LA!. About those Eucalyptus trees...
NO REFUNDS.
It appears our superiority has caused some controversy.

Edit: Controlled burns do help and they happen but you’d have to burn the entire state to the ground every two years to fully stop wildfires, which would be counterproductive.

For whom?

Not to sound cruel, but you'd think with the dry conditions and dead vegetation, people would think twice before wanting to live around a literal tinderbox.

LA's weather predictions is showing 100 mph winds for the next day or so.

That would suck.. Imagine getting that alert on your phone and knowing you or anyone else can do nothing.

The year just started. We already have an excuse for a dancing thread.

lol what is that from?


They had reservoirs but they decided to drain them all and destroy the dams to save the environment.

Correction, it was to make eco extremists happy and elite upper class white assholes feel good about themselves. But yeah.. the entire west coast has been dam busting for a few decades now.. why, nobody knows.. but a handful of ecotards demand they do it.


None of these people whose homes are burning will be allowed to rebuild them the way they were before. CA building codes bear no resemblance to what they were when most of those structures were built. Even with insurance payouts many won't be able to afford the rebuild.

Which raises the potential for a lot of people leaving.. and taking their political sensibilities which caused this with them.

Also, does anyone know if @JosephStalin is okay? Or is he too far north?

i heard he was giving califnornians free copter rides at teh time and was able to fly to safety. for real, i do hope he is okay.

you know people can own homes for more than a year? My grandfather bought a "million dollar home" for $20,000 in the 70s. I'm sure a lot of shitty people are in a bad situation now, but a lot of innocent people are there also.

exactly. there are plenty of boomers sitting in houses worth a lot of money because they managed to grab those houses back before housing prices went retarded.
 
I don't hate Russia. I wish my government was a bit more like theirs is now. Our propaganda machine was the greatest ever designed.
Russia is Russia, and America is the United States. We are different but alike in many ways but unlike Russia the Founders gifted us legal document to change the government if it doesn't serve the people of the United States. We have done nothing.

We don't need to be like Russia, we need to go back to what the Founders intended the US to be. Allowing the rot to fester and infect every facet of our lives can only be changed by its citizens.

No one sells houses in California unless they have no choice. They passed one of their genius referenda decades ago that locked your property taxes at the rate you paid when the house was purchased (or something like what they were in 1958, IIRC, whichever is later). So buying new property means crazy high taxes because the state had to raise the rates on new purchases to make up for the low revenues from every other house.

That lock on rates stays in place if you receive the property from a family member, too.
 
A huge chunk of the state is big, steep, brush and grass covered hills that dry out very badly. All it takes is a spark in some remote valley and you’re going to lose hundreds of acres to a fire and there’s nothing anyone can do, the hills hard hard to traverse and the fire moves faster than you can imagine. Normally once it gets to a more populated area they’re able to fight it more effectively, it’s flatter, you can get trucks and men to the front line, and houses don’t burn quite as fast as grass, but the terrain here is still tricky, and one of the biggest tools California uses, air support, is grounded from the wind. Basically, the fires happen no matter what, but there’s a specific set of circumstances that are making this one pretty nasty right now.

Controlled burns do fuck all but put people in hospital with respiratory complaints. I live in Australia's replica of LA climate and vegetation wise - dry, hot, windy as fuck and surrounded by Eucalyptus. Lol dumb yanks thinking it's as easy as burning little patches here and there of massive areas of bushland to prevent raging Eucalyptus fires. The ONLY way to manage them is pull them all out by the fucken roots
