The use of unfree labour is abhorrent. Firefighting, risk mitigation + (good, current, clear, accessible) information about fire risks should be resourced and administered as a free public good.
I’m talking about the bigger picture and population density. Of course feel terrible for all of the people losing their homes. It’s happening more and more. The fire raging through densely populated neighborhoods in those winds was unstoppable.

We don't have an overpopulation issue, we have a management and profit over people and ecology issue.
