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!

The problem is, when winds are strong enough, embers can be blown for miles. Cleared or not, fires can find other means of spreading. Clearing can reduce the risk of fire and is a common practice where I live in the Napa Valley. People who live here understand it should be done. But the worst fires spread through blowing embers, land on roofs and trees and ignite, and clearing brush can only do so much.
The darn county knew of the problem back in the 1970's!
I don't believe my half brother was any smarter than the politicians of Orange county! They knew of the darn problem back then.

@DeWayfarer I don't know, why is there a city of 1.7 million people in the middle of the desert where there's no water? Why does that city exist? What happens when the reservoir finally dries up (as it is currently doing at a rapid rate)? Because this is America and we like to think we can live anywhere. And the more money you have, the more you can bend the rules to fit what you want in contradiction of common sense (i.e. building in a fire zone).
@SW-User problem wasn't the reservoir. Problem was why they were allowed to sell that water to Southern California. There actually never was a damn to sell that water to begin with.
So all that water got wasted anyway all at once before the reservoir.
