Born in L.A. There have always been wildfires. They have always been isolated: 1 at a time in the hills or canyons. There have never been hurricane-force winds (100 mph!) pushing sparks into high-density hoods during a winter with record zero rainfall. Result: Multiple urban fires at once. No fire department can adequately respond. The public sector scapegoated for almost unimaginable climate-change calamities as oligarchs "disaster capitalize" us, aggregating property, water, excessive wealth, leading to new spirals of disasters.
