      If you're wondering how climate change will play out over the next few decades, here you go. $40 million homes in a gated community behind a six-foot fire-retardant wall, with private fire-fighting services. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/wildfires-rising-crime-fuel-las-gated-community-craze-1163999 …pic.twitter.com/qw4C32eAxk

      I leave here this searing Mike Davis piece from 1998. https://longreads.com/2018/12/04/the-case-for-letting-malibu-burn/ …pic.twitter.com/eWkDwC9kfT

      (As with all Davis' work, it's hard not to have complicated feelings about his work—it's more a prophetic voice than a journalistic one, for lack of a better description. But it's hard to deny he's onto one *possible* future).

      Yep, this is good, too. We're already precariously sprawling to where we should not, and with climate change, they will become nearly impossible to defend except through very expensive, dubious protections. Where do we rebuild is a BIG political question.https://twitter.com/gln/status/1070331164588535808 …

      Another piece with great context that is worth reading is John McPhee's "Los Angeles Against the Mountains" https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1988/09/26/los-angeles-against-the-mountains-i …

          Makes “flyover country” look appealing (not that it doesn’t have its own issues)

          It’s going to a hard discussion, and we will have to fight hard to ensure that people who are already vulnerable will be housed.
