Why are Californians so combative about their choice to put expensive housing in known fire zones

The rich people actually love getting to rebuild their house every 5 or so years it's basically a perk of living in Santa Barbara or Santa Monica. I've talked to people that literally see it as being paid by their insurance to redesign their house. Everyone else just shrugs because these fires never effect normal people unless it's one of the desert ones.

L.A. smells like an uncircumsized Macaulay Culkin, and the freeways are literally lined inch to inch with pedophiles if you look on Megan's Law. gently caress everything in LA except for the Getty, Broad, and Observatory.

But let us rejoice in becoming hell on earth for another year.

yeah bro there's idiots everywhere that shouldn't be news to you

Also, according to the latest US Census, LA and SF are #1 and #2 metro areas of population density. Oh and we have #3 and #4 too.

http://la.curbed.com/2012/3/26/10385086/los-angeles-is-the-most-densely-populated-urban-area-in-the-us

quote:

The nation's most densely populated urbanized area is Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Calif., with nearly 7,000 people per square mile. The San Francisco-Oakland, Calif., area is the second most densely populated at 6,266 people per square mile, followed by San Jose, Calif. (5,820 people per square mile) and Delano, Calif. (5,483 people per square mile).




so what's up lmao


if you massage the numbers to your liking then NYC takes the #1 spot but LA and SF are still #2 and #3

also what?

Chicago (the city proper) is 234.0 sq mi (606 km2) with a metro area of 10,874 sq mi (28,160 km2) total. LA (the city) is 503 sq mi (1,302 km2) and the metro area is 33,954 square miles (87,940 km2).

LA is easily the largest metro area in the USA and it's 3x the size of Chicago.

in fact we'll probably eat it because the rest of you losers keep demanding more and more and more of our tax dollars to support your insane dumb idiot states and eventually we'll buckle under the weight of like 30 freeloader conservative states
