        I wouldn't call it hate. But it's a massive problem here that seems to carry 0 solutions on resolving it.

        Risk of it becoming a slum is high. Skid Row in DTLA is filled with drug addict homeless. It requires so much resource$ to hit a dent into it especially with addict recovery. This fire incident will probably limbo a plan of action

        @MuffinAndElliot @LAFD This is a familiar story. And they were likely illegals just like the NorCal fires.

        What do you mean by illegals? Illegal humans? How odd and inhumane a term to use

        if this was not intentional but rather people trying to survive this system - i wholeheartedly object to any kind of arrest. PGE incompetence & resistance caused SF bay fire... they ignored warnings- so if accounts must be paid? it’s them.

        I agree with the PGE incompetence but the fire system needs to take 50% of that bill for not doing the controlled burns they were supposed to

        thanks for that info!!! & it adds to these SYSTEM failures - (which is collapsing bc we redirected tax $$$ to endless wars)- our infrastructures & system are in collapse. & this leads to MORE destabilization & crisis 🙏🙏🙏🙏

        arrests- i get your point- but take a minute- houseless people must eat- we have to address the greater issue that caused this. PGE causes one here- (napa -SF bay) no mention of arrests

        Of course, but it also isn’t hard to watch a fire and make sure it doesn’t get out of control/ put it out when you’re done

        yea- homeless encampments are barely surviving- safety is a luxury in many worlds. plus- https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/video-oaklands-homeless-residents-are-targets-of-arson-attacks/Content%3foid=6935650&media=AMP+HTML … arson attacks on encampments is far too common.

        The state, county, and City have forgotten about the people that need help for many years. Hence the affordable housing crisis. I like that that "backfired" in an epic way. Time to change course.
