    Yup. Fire mitigation has been taking place in California for many decades. You’re mistaken that all fire mitigation is banned and that the rest of the country has to pay a dime.

    then why are we sending them money from DC?
    fire mitigation................why is there so much fire fuel just laying around these towns?
    Owners cannot "clean" up the debris without a permit. Limited number of permits only. I don't really care about those vast areas that are uninhabited. Those areas around entire towns are the ones where the money needs to be spent.
    That is a local issue, but we are still paying for firefighting in those areas in federal tax dollars.
    Face it bub, California has a track record for abusing the tax dollars sent there. Can we say hi-speed rail system? CAn we also say illegal mandatory HealthCare?
    And what about federal tax dollars be used to condition children as young a 6 to learn the 750 or so genders? You know they also receive federal dollars for that.
    Oh, noes............... every dollar was spend as it was designed for, according the California Rules, anyway.
    and never forget, El Nino and the Santa Ana winds have been there for a long time and will be long after you're dead.
    We can no more stop climate change than we can stop the rotation of the planet. It is a constantly changing paradigm. It has been thus since the beginning and it will be such until the end.
