2. Put out the fires.

A competent mayor could have served a convening or coordinating role, and perhaps been at least somewhat useful in marshaling resources, or driving toward fast decisionmaking that may have been needed between and among public and private institutions, etc. But that assumes a different sort of mayor with different sort of staff.

It actually would have been better, I assume, for the people of Los Angeles if she had not returned, as now she is participating for optical reasons, which will serve as a dragsail, at least somewhat, on all efforts.

Bass unfortunately cut fire department spending and is the current figurehead for the party that fired unvaxed firefighter and prioritized DEI over merit in these jobs.

Finally, its not apple to apples, but its a hilariously bad look for her that her opponent's shopping mall is literally the only thing in Palisades to survive the fire. Look at this video and tell me that if you wanted to prepare an area for wildfires, the first person you wouldn't call is the person who has a pristine Jamba Juice and Croc store amid piles of burnt rubble.

Literally nothing, LA has handled this perfectly according to EPAH (not flame btw lol).

Only sick Trumpkins disagree with that btw, Los Angelenos are sad about what's happening but they all agree that their state and local leadership has been amazing. None of them are absolutely furious at Newsome, Bass, etc, because they know those amazing politicians are extremely competent and truly care about the people of California and have handled everything wonderfully here.

Trust me, I know these things!

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661646&forum_id=2).#48540126)

Yeah well that's a pretty good one IMO

We could of course also talk about other macro level risk management policies that could and should have been enacted and followed on the state and local level in the decades, years, and months leading up to this past week which might have set the stage for much more quick and successful containment of at least some of these fires, but there's nothing to say there really because once California and Los Angeles have also been spot on there, as well. True perfection!

CR, all of The Experts(TM) agree that CA has handled that (non)issue perfectly, also EPAH was a volunteer firefighter for a few months one summer 25 years ago so I think he might know a liiiiiittle thing or two about the nuances of proper brush management on a macro level, you stupid fags.

Weird how you still have your cock and balls and you've never taken a single shot of estrogen in your entire life even though you're a self-proclaimed MFE expert on the topic of gender reassignment for minors... and yet here you are commanding anyone who hasn't personally donned a firefighters suit to shut the fuck up when it's time to discuss macro-level fire-risk management policy.

Really "makes you think"

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661646&forum_id=2).#48540240)

(Guy who's position is literally that the State of CA and the City of LA have handled this entire situation "perfectly," and anyone who knows anything about macro-level fire-risk management policy would agree with that assessment)

lol

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661646&forum_id=2).#48540319)

CR, notice how none of these retarded Trumpkins can actually name a single one of these alleged "macro level risk management policies" (like conducting regular controlled brushfires to avoid the sort of massive overgrowth that feeds fires... or using California's already notoriously heavy-handed zoning power to go ahead and mandate stopgaps at regular intervals in high risk areas in order to help slow the spread of fires when they do inevitably break out... or passing common-sense legislation to adopt more reasonable water management controls in a state that is ABSOLUTELY NOTORIOUS for having COMPLETELY RETARDED water use rights that were put in place 100+ years ago and now LITERALLY INCENTIVIZE WASTE from those with access to water higher upstream and end up predictably fucking over users who live in the drier southern parts of the state, like LA for example... etc etc etc) when you press them on it.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661646&forum_id=2).#48540182)

You're thinking of "forests." The chapparal of SoCal grew to this condition in the last two winters of heavy rain.

"mandate stopgaps at regular intervals"

Have you ever flown over SoCal and seen all the dozer lines on the ridges (that's what those bare lines are). The dozer lines would need to be 1-2 miles wide to stop embers in 50-90 winds.

"more reasonable water management controls"

SoCal water storage is at ATHs rn. Having an infinite supply of water in more cisterns surely would have saved some number of structures, but you'd be surprised how ineffective a firehose is against a wildfire in high winds (I'm sure your complete lack of relevant experience won't stop you from refuting that fact, but still).

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661646&forum_id=2).#48540261)

- So you're saying that controlled brushfires can't be used to clear out chaparral landscapes and help mitigate the risk of massive fires that quickly spread out of control when they inevitably spark off? That's why CA doesn't pursue that policy? Because it simply can't help the situation? You sure that's the hill you want to die on here? Guessing it won't be very tough to find authorities that say exactly the opposite on that one, although admittedly they might not have been authored by a 60 year old faggot shitlawyer who spent a few summers pretending to be a fireman a quarter of a century ago...

- How many dozer lines would I have seen flying over the Pacific Palisades, or Malibu, or Altadena, last week? A bunch, right? They're all over the place around those areas? Damn, if only I had ever flown over SoCal before, I hear all of the desirable residential areas that are getting assfucked right now are just filled with dozer lines, barely even room for houses... (Also, weird how if you were following the Hollywood Hills fire two days ago, the end of the mandatory evacuation zones neatly mapped onto large paved thoroughfare roads like Franklin Avenue, the 101, etc... who knew those were each a mile wide!)

- I'm not even going to bother addressing this gay and retarded "defense" of California's completely insane water usage rules, because even retards know they aren't defensible. They're so retarded that famous movies have literally been made about the corruption and insanity surrounding them. There's just nothing more to say here. "Hurr durr trust me CA handles water usage issues just fine" sure thing bud sounds right to me! ;)

The Daley machine in Chicago was ultimately broken by a snowstorm.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661646&forum_id=2).#48540132)

the mayor is the head of the city. she represents the city. that means she has to take responsibility for everything, including things beyond her control. she could explain what the city is doing to combat the fires while also explaining what she needs from the state and federal governments. instead, like your clerk, she is predictably saying "that is NOT my job!"

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661646&forum_id=2).#48540148)

It doesn't compare to a court clerk's error, which could have been avoided by placing the hearing on the calendar so that it would have been on the calendar. It wouldn't have helped me if she'd heaped on numerous apologies -- the motion still wouldn't have been on the calendar since it wasn't on the calendar.

of course, when something goes wrong anywhere in the federal government under the trump administration, they will instantly attribute it all to him.

EPAH: "Why did [private citizen] Donald Drumpfth defeat Biden's 2024 border control bill in Congress?! That's just not fair! I can't believe [private citizen] Drumpfth did that!"

Also EPAH: "Sorry, Trumpkins, but the truth is that there's absolutely nothing that elected Democrat leadership in uniparty-controlled supermajority Dem CA could have done, on either the state of local level, to in any way avert or mitigate damage caused by these SoCal fires... their actions were literally perfect on every level and this is just a pure act of god that could not possibly have been handled any better."

Well hey, at least no one can accuse you of being a low IQ partisan hack faggot! ;)

you're in here sperging out but head of a government's only role is to make performative woke tiktoks about how black lives matter (unless they're homeless, getting murdered, or catching or fire) or whatever the current cause de celebre is.

If you look back to any year you'd see Santa Ana winds are pretty hurricane like and have created a lot of issues. To say that this year is an incredibly rare event is bullshit. The winds may have been more sustained for 48 hours than typical but so what, that is to be expected to happen at some point.

Bottom line is the insurers figured out this was possible and libs despite their constant whining never did.

second, the failures once the fires started. i don't know yet how they performed in that regard.

it's why the focus on how criminals are treated rather than thinking about how to stop crime from happening. it's the same with everything. they're just going to shrug and continue what they're doing. this is why every shitlib city has devolved into crime-ridden shitholes (despite the elites of their cities having massive wealth) and they just continue doing what they've always done.
