Well most of them were living in million dollar plus homes in this case, so they are very different then people who were left homeless in Appalachia due to Helene.
This is just completely untrue. Quit it with the fake narratives.
Take a spin around Zillow of the areas that have burned. Only once you get down towards Santa Monica do you see houses below 1mil. Pasadena has more homes under 1mil towards the south, but the majority of both areas are 1mil+ homes.
Cool, now look at the median income. Just because housing is unaffordable and people are burdened with lifelong debt just because they exist doesn't mean they deserve to lose everything in a fire. You’re acting like everyone is a fucking Hollywood director or something and it’s really mean and insensitive.
Which honestly might ACTUALLY force insurance reform because this time it’s not the poors who are suffering.
Speaking of Helene, who knew there were so many gays in Appalachia?

I don't think they were just talking about natural disasters
