Cloward-Piven Strategy Being Implemented???

Now we have significant damage resulting from wildfires in California.

This time it is rich people loosing their homes to this disaster. I'd bet real money that help will be forthcoming and it won't be $900 each or whatever the NC people got.

Yeah I was looking at some of the pictures of those homes that were destroyed in Pacific Palisades, dang those are some pretty nice homes especially for California where the crappiest looking home you can imagine is a million dollars. These appear to be worth many millions

California where the crappiest looking home you can imagine is a million dollars.

I'd rather have a crappie home worth millions, than a crappie home worth nothing, but that's just me.

Except in this case, it is the property that is inflating the "value" of the property. Once the lot becomes unbuildable due to zoning restrictions and the ghastly cost of insurance, the house is worth nothing.

We will see if Malibu gets rebuilt, my guess is it will.

It's hard to believe all those houses on the beach burned to the ground. shouldn't they have been damp enough from the fog and surf to give them some protection?

So many folks said that they were in a drought. Most of the time, if it is a beach you can't build on it closer to the shore than some measure related to high tide. The houses wouldn't be close enough to the surf for it to have made a difference. After all, continuous surf would undermine the house's foundation. So I'm guessing that the surf wouldn't make a difference. As to the fog, based on the winning strategies of the folks who got elected and made such wonderful policies regarding forest management, I think the fog was above the neck line.

Oh totally. My main point was just how nice the homes in Pacific Palisades looked

I was just fooling around

The houses were lovely but these weren't people with multiple homes necessarily. They were ordinary families with high incomes and probably high mortgages.

True, I suppose not every high-income person has invested in real estate necessarily.
