L.A. fires

[Mojo Ram]

To be honest I do hope the gm stays at SoFi. I feel like the team, fans and city will rally together as a result of the disaster going on there.

The Rams will play inspired football….and maybe score a TD on their first possession.

I just realised it's the middle of winter there in la.

How can a fire like this happen in the middle of winter? That's some crazy shit.

Fucking State Farm Stadium?!?!

State Farm, one of the biggest insurers in California, canceled hundreds of homeowners' policies last summer in Pacific Palisades—the same area which is now being ravaged by a devastating wildfire.

California insurer canceled policies months before Los Angeles wildfires

Residents in one of the neighborhoods currently being ravaged by fire, were left scrambling for coverage.

10 acres to 200 acres in the Palisades fire in only 12 minutes
These hurricane level wind affects are generally associated with rain and not dry weather
57 billion dollars as it stands

This was just announced

The back up plan is the Cardinals stadium in Glendale Arizona

These insurance have learned over time what the triggers and elements are, the hard way, and undoubtedly saw this coming. The bastids.

 

[RecklessRams]

I'm damn near sure that between Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid, Jake from Statefarm dumbass commercials can fix this all. Same with Peyton Manning hint hint hint.

I work directly in Private Client somewhere that's all I'm gonna say.

Yes, maybe harsh judgement on my part. Just that over my lifetime I've been scolded my entire life by parents, drill Sargents, bosses, etc for making stupid decisions. Not wishing harm on anyone or their property. But living in those hills has always been risky, and not just from fire. Earthquakes, land-mud slides are also a well-known hazard. But people take risks.

A new fire just started in Runyon Canyon for those in the LA area that know that place. My gf lives right next to the entrance of Runyon. Hoping it doesn’t get too crazy.

 

[Ramhusker]

This is going to bring the CA Insurance market to it's fucking knees. This is insane...

Really? I didn’t think you could hardly get fire in that area?

 

[RamBall]

There’s no fighting this fire until the wind dies down.

Water in the fire hydrants would also be helpful. I dont understand how developers are allowed to build subdivisions in areas that are known to have wildfires regularly.
I've been hearing about the fires whipped up by the Santa Anna winds for over 40 years. The hillsides and canyons are beautiful but not really a wise place to build multi-million $ homes unless they have enough land to actually create a defensible space. These homes are so close together they have no way to protect them from fire.

It’s already on its knees…this fire event will kick it to the curb

Unbelievable, this one is growing fast like Pali but much harder to navigate out of due to tight canyons.
This is all insane for me, so many friends getting affected. I am beside myself, thanks to you all for keeping it real. We are more than a football family we are human

Looks pretty flat to me.

Part of the solution...the greater the risk, the higher the insurance. Don't make others substantially subsidize people who want to live in high-risk areas. The subsidizing fuels more construction in places that should have insurance factored in, which right now, it doesn't in many risky areas. We should always have a safety net but many homes have enjoyed artificially low home insurance rates beyond govt meddling.

The best solution would be to not allow homes to be built so close together they cannot create a defensible space. I get that its beautiful scenery but if you want to build on it you should be required to have a defensible space if you want insurance.

This won't help attract FAs this year.... not that its that important right now, but just saying.

Or you just have effective leadership with your priorities correct.

So sorry, hoping for the best.
