no doubt and i would never say its easy to manage. But i do think they have relied on natures natural tendencies to rain away the fire threat every winter and when that cycle is interrupted they get exposed because they really don't have a good plan to manage it.

for example california knows they will have forest fires somewhere every year. why isnt there a good plan to deploy the military tanker capabilities as an automatic response at the first sign of trouble. the response will never be perfect but it seems like there is so much more they can do.

What would have been the impact of allowing the areas of undergrowth near population centers to burn off BEFORE the Santa Ana winds were expected?

Unpopular, but then, so is the destruction that resulted from ignoring the potential of wildfires.

Unfortunately the brush will grow back thicker than it ever was after these fires. California better start NOW preparing for next years fires.

Not so. No one is saying go to remote areas and clear brush. They are saying manage forests near housing. But environmental wackos are preventing it in court.

You can literally travel up and down California and see crews everywhere clearing brush and trees every year pretty much year round. We do more clearing than any other state. You really don't know what you're talking about.

And yet you've been going on and on about no need to do such, wouldn't matter. Well known fact that California environmentalists go to court to fight clearing the forests of underbrush and dead wood. The article you posted even said so.

I wonder how much more of your tax base is going to leave when they realize the state sponsored home insurance only covers to $3 million and it will cost a good deal more to rebuild?

The article didn't mention anything about lawsuits to stop clearing of vegetation. Here you go making up 💩 again.

LA actually does have controlled burns in parts of the forests that they have authority over.
