California fires: Think of the billions of cost… 1) not only the real estate, but cars, valuables… but also intangibles such as business projects that will never now happen; 2) people who lost jobs: gardeners, real estate agents, plumbers, gas station attendants, chefs, auto repair mechanics, etc.; 3) Lost property and income taxes to fund repairs; 4) Looting, and the empowerment of the gangs; 5) Loss of first responders and police who decide they don’t want any more of this. CA doesn’t have the money and surely won’t reimburse “the rich”. FEMA messed up in NC with Helene, so don’t expect a lot of help there any time soon. The preening politicians have promoted the illusion that since everything was going fine in the rich areas, they could ignore the squalor and broken-down infrastructure they caused. Is California coming to reality? They voted for this mess. There isn't enough money in the entire wealth of the US to fix stupid.
An exodus is coming. That will drive up housing and other costs wherever these people land. And there must be an immediate need for dog rescue in LA. I see articles showing horses left behind, too. Hopefully they don’t bring “California” to your town, or you’ll suffer the same fate one day.
Plan accordingly.
