Los Angeles burns, could it be the best thing to happen to LA? (self.casualconversation)

The plague of NIMBY's may yield if a real plan is put in place to rebuild better. Vast areas could be rezoned for density. A way of addressing the enormous number of displaced people could also address the largest homeless population in the USA. The city that defines urban sprawl could be redefined. How does this play out?

Honestly yeah. There is plenty of money and influence in the area that burned. Now you have a bunch of people with the lawyers, money and social following to be a real pain in the ass if they want to. And they got one hell of a reality check.

Now the real question is what will they call for? Better buildings? Limited building in fire prone areas? Firefighter funding/manning? I fear it will be a general #omgclimatechange and nothing actionable
