corruption in ca government is fucked up. entire country is that way. red states have it too, just less because less money floating their way.
no matter what bullshit government pretends, you are always on your own.

Eh, I wouldn't call it a blip. You have a bunch of multimillionaires lose their homes. A good chunk are not coming back. They won't rebuild or can't. I finally broke ground after almost 2 years and there's only 6 new builds in our town. Permitting and all the regulations it might take 3-4 years to rebuild with thousands of homes being destroyed.
At that point you just leave. Unless you have to surf there are plenty of other temperate areas. I'd like Florida, but I don't like hurricanes. Even with better construction I wouldn't live there. These fires happen every year and wipe out massive swaths of land.

What are you even talking about? You can choose to live in a place that is on fire. Is due for an earthquake. Just to maybe see family once a month? Totally worth it. Pay extreme income taxes. High property costs whether renting or owning. For what? Weather and family? You can make the same amount of income anywhere in the country. Why live in a place where your house can burn and you're taxed out the ass?
Sorry, you get testy when I dig at CA. I'm not wrong. I've been there plenty of times. It's really not that great. I think some of you guys get desensitized to how crappy it is. I think most people live there not realizing they can make the same or more money elsewhere and live for less. Justifying a bad decision.
Nothing will happen, while CA is definitely severely mismanaged and hopefully some if not most heads will roll for a good administrative reset, most people don't understand how big this state is and how desired geographically and climate wise. In the grand scheme of things for a state as large as CA, this catastrophe is just a blip.

Family be damned.
