I hope this comment won't be deemed too far afield, but I am concerned because much of the media is using the fires to deflect attention away from the criminality of Donald Trump. While journalism which exposed what went wrong and how we can avoid these infernos in the future would be welcome, much of the reporting just reitterates what we already know: The fires are terrible.
Thanks so much for writing this article about living in LA. Although Bay Area residents, we loved Southern California, and spent lots of time in West Hollywood, where we had bought a duplex. Loved walking to Fairfax Ave., Santa Monica Blvd., the whole "coolness vibe" of LA. life. Like you, we eventually ended up in NYC - Brooklyn to be specific. We are distraught over the fires, a photograph of climate change that is here now.
