There's another big fire in SoCal around Laguna Niguel area right now! This is the second fire in the area within a year that has burned serval multimillion dollar homes.
My opinion... so what! 🤷🏻♂️
They built those expensive houses there and did nothing about the surrounding area.

Now not being heartless, I do care about the wildlife. They had absolutely nothing to do with the situation. Yet the owners of those homes expect others to clear the surrounding areas.
You see I have lived on a large parcel of land before for over twelve years. Twenty acres to be exact and I did my own clearing. Two acres by hand to be exact.
These people are very wealthy, I always have been poor. If I could clear two acres by hand then I can have no sympathy for any that refuse to do anything despite their own wealth!

CalFire has been sending the California state legislature advisements for controlled burns for decades to thin out brush. Environmentalists of course knew better and let areas become so over run that when they do catch fire it burns so hot even the seeds are destroyed.
@stratosranger the problem really isn't at the state level.
It's at the county level for allowing those homes to be built.
I know the area very well. I almost moved there in highschool when it wasn't million dollar homes much less multimillion dollar homes. I believe the house cost around 100,000 dollars that my half brother looked at.
And the reason he didn't buy? The area was too much of a fire risk!
Years back my Mom was looking at a house. I noticed it had a lovely creek in the back. And then after looking at a topographic map told her, “This house should have never been built here. The whole area is a flood plain.” And I was correct. @DeWayfarer
@stratosranger that's another point. Lived for a bit in Texas on such a piece of property. Unfortunately it wasn't my own property. I would have moved the place to higher ground. Yet they didn't think they should have. So got flooded three years in a row before I moved there. 😔
