As a resident of Northern California and a 40 year resident of this once beautiful state I have watched the last 15 years our state become a third world country. California has become a dust bowl between the water grab of the south and environmental extreme views it’s no wonder the state is in flames. Years ago the forests were cleared of dead tress, weeds and trash. Nowadays the naturalists say it’s not natural so low and behold we now have massive fires burning through towns and killing people in their path. Don’t get me wrong I love nature and we need preserve it for our future but it is called management . Between the extreme left run of this state it’s no wonder this has happened. We also have Pacific gas and Electric which has become obsolete with downed wires and gas pipes that are leaking. Our infrastructure is broken and the focus wasn’t on caring for our beautiful state and nature, the focus was really on sanctuary cities, welfare, etc. I don’t want this to be a political view as both sides can be too extreme. This is the truth, truth is in the pudding. Very very sad for us all here.
