Raised in California. LA is not the exception. The entire west coast from Mexico to Canada is at the mercy of the desert winds. People do we they can, but the scale of the problem is beyond most reckoning. The best solution is to build fire-proof and fire-resistant buildings and landscaping. The know how exists. The wherewithal is lacking. Before a single replacement home is rebuilt, the city, state and county must revise building codes and rethink mitigation efforts. We can build better, before the next firestorm hits.
