      These federal, state, and local strategies to protect entitled property owners who choose to live in the middle of brush is absurd.https://twitter.com/journowes/status/904040385172742144 …

      Chaparral is native to this region. It burns every summer. Look at all the chaparral surrounding these homes. Why would you live there?!pic.twitter.com/gjjCG6G00U

      This area, where people build homes in the middle of a carpet bomb, is racially and economically segregated from the rest of LA, of course.

      There's an entire system that protects homeowners. The city allows them permits to build in the middle of chaparral that inevitably burns.

      Insurance companies sell policies in this area to people who know they live in the middle of a mountain where there are fires every summer.

      The city fire department, which pays prisoners $1 a day to fight these fires, tries to suppress fires summer after summer. It doesn't work.

      Chaparral, also known as brush, evolved to survive fires. Some sprout underground; others need fire to germinate. Fires here are inevitable.

      The fire department puts out small fires all summer, making fuel from the native chaparral build up over the years. It's a powder keg.

      Instead of allowing small fires to naturally burn as they have forever, the state supports putting them out to protect homeowners, too.

          FEMA even gives federal grants to fight these fires. If a home burns, insurance company pays. Homeowner rebuilds. Cycle starts over again.

          This is a new phenomenon. Natives never built in areas where flora evolved to germinate during fire. Original peoples here accepted reality.

          Even up to 100 years ago, the city/state let these fires burn naturally. Now, people live in the chaparral.https://twitter.com/arielsabrinaa/status/904148424727044096 …

          Climate change is real, but it's not the cause of these fires. They're the result of the state's penchant for protecting the wealthy.
