The family <br>home, built in the 60s was purchased by a private developer (after much <br>negotiation) to surely be razed and replaced by a mcMansion. The move <br>was 6 months ago and the home sale closed the day before our elections <br>(by design).<br><br>My friend is in HI right now (visiting Kilauea and Waipio) but his <br>brother lives in the LA area, able to attend to the parents anxiety more <br>directly. The family home has not been engulfed yet, but if/when it <br>does, it may actually increase the value of the property to new owner <br>(the anticipated razing being done on insurance/FEMA's nickle?).... but <br>he just watched the high school he attended (70s) burn to the ground on TV.<br><br><snark> I think Donald Trump is about to announce that this is the price <br>of LA and CA being a "Liberal Hellhole" and that if they would just <br>"rake their forests" these things wouldn't happen.

At least it <br>wasn't triggered by a Cybertruck loaded with fireworks, (legal) <br>firearms, and other accelerants blown up by a MAGA supporter.
