Fires

For many years California has been plagued by fires followed by mudslides which resulted in the loss of life and property but this year is in the news for two reasons. First is the extent of the fires and second whose homes are being destroyed. Many rich and famous people have lost their property to the fires and this will get the attention of the politicians. Trump spent time with the leaders of LA and offered to remove all federal requirements for building homes and asked the mayor to do the same for state and local permits. This is designed to speed up the rebuilding but the question remains will there be enough construction companies and workers to get the job done quickly. Perhaps California will bring in qualified people much like they bring in fire fighters.
