Considering moving to LA for relo, but curious to know which areas to avoid the most for potential fires and how residence of LA’s quality of life has been impacted by the ongoing fires. I have read a handful of articles, but it would be beneficial to hear from those that are currently living there. Thanks for your help
The hills burn. The city doesn't. I'm five miles away near Culver City. For me to be impacted UCLA, Fox Studios, Beverly Hills, Cheviot Hills, Century City (CAA, ICM, and a few massive PE offices) would all have to burn down. If you're THAT worried about fires, live in Venice or the Marina.
The fires are natural... That's how they seed... It's just people are dumb and build their homes on the hills.
Stop building sprawling homes in fire prone areas.
....to be fair... all of California is fire prone, not just the mountains. The actual name of the ecosystem is called chaparral. It's supposed to burn. But it's no different than anywhere else in the US. The east coast gets hurricanes/Noreaaters, the midwest and the plains get tornadoes and the west coast gets fires. So go ahead and pick your poison.
Man made fires can be minimized by stoping the suburban sprawn around California. Especially out in the sticks, and up in mountains. Natural fire are fine, fires caused by bad power lines out in the middle of nowhere, where it is very dry, is not a natural fire.
Thanks everyone!
Stay in the city or live on the coast!
Don't worry about the fires, mostly media hyped.
You arent rich enough to live where it burns in LA
Avoid the areas on fire 🔥
