In the latest news from the Urban Management journal Duh:
perhaps we need to thin the fuel of the community itself.
Oh, sorry, I meant the latest news from this opinion piece in the NYT: Which City Burns Next?
I mean, I understood this in 1986 (as I described in this post, about why I moved out of Los Angeles).
I lived in Los Angeles briefly in 1986. While I lived there, my dad sent me this book:
It talked about landscaping to minimize fire, flood, and mudslide risk, but my key takeaway was, “Only a moron would live in Southern California,” and I moved away before the end of the year.
It was a government publication, so the PDF is available: https://www.fs.usda.gov/psw/publications/documents/psw_gtr067/psw_gtr067.pdf
