Took me 1 1/2 hours to get from South Bay to Pasadena/Altadena. Standstill traffic thru downtown LA. (So I could take a photo.) I’ve been working with my editor since 2012/2013 & tonight’s the 1st time we’ll ever meet in person. (Dinner with a couple of us who’ve been working on post-fire stories.)

Foothills aren’t inherently more fire-prone than flatland, they’re just where the wildland-urban interface happens to currently be. Move it to the flatland and you’ll move wildfire risk too. Rewild the Palisades and Altadena? Now Santa Monica and Pasadena are the WUI. What you need is a fire break.

The safest thing to do is to prohibit rebuilding in this area that has suffered repeated wildfires and is now uninsurable, but we're not ready for that conversation.

The safest thing to do would be to clear and pave a buffer of a few hundred feet between the mountains and the residential area and then rebuild the residential area into concrete mid- and high-rises whose structures are not fuel, but we’re not ready for that conversation.

Minnesota last won the Big 10 in 1960. They went to the Rose Bowl the next year because the President of The Ohio State University wouldn't let their team play in the RB because of a cheating scandal.

Can you imagine either things happening today?

EVERY house we looked at in altadena had a high fire risk, so we looked and bought in Pasadena even though there was less inventory. EVERY house i looked at in Altadena burned in Eaton, four weeks after we closed. Eaton missed our house by five blocks.

the risk rating worked. shame it’s gone.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Don't look up!

The problem is that the Chinese have all the money in the world.

I am hoping that since the only way out of Altadena is through Pasadena they can hold down development because of traffic issues. They do it in South Pasadena.
