What water infrastructure was lacking? This isn't a water issue and it's a giant smoke screen to say it is. Trump is fueling that and bald-faced lying to us to claim a victory over something. Not even sure he knows what. It's a fantasy. It's shocking that an American president is this transparently warped and its more shocking that brainless parrots slurp up the bullshit willingly.
The water was in 99.87% of places it needed to be during the fires, despite the astronomical system shock. The one instance of lacking water, the Upper Palisades neighborhoods, and the small offline reservoir needs to be investigated for sure. It likely shouldn't have been sitting offline so long. But it was closed for repairs. That shit happens. It wasn't a water shortage issue that caused it to be empty. And also, it would have made ZERO difference, as anyone knows, especially firemen.
If we want to talk about reducing wildfire risk to human development, root causes, and real required action everywhere, not just So Cal, firemen shooting water out of measly hoses is incredibly far down the list of concerns. I'll be waiting for Trump to help facilitate the real conversation with bated breath. -

The goofiest TugTard is just making things up again.
Embarrassing.

If you can't grasp that point, I can't help you. It's probably higher tbh.

Ypu can’t even grasp basic math and probability.
Your constant efforts to absolve the Democrats of any blame for the death and destruction is cute in a “you’re childlike” way, if that makes you feel proud.
Meanwhile, tens of millions of non-cultists see massive incompetence no matter what tune you’re carrying today during your crusade.

Dear @RaceBannon
I'll explain what you're falsely remembering. Neighborhoods at the mercy of an incredibly destructive firestorm in hurricane winds, with packed in homes, lacking in defensible space, in a canyon that has experienced fire for as long as its been a canyon, no, there was nothing that could be done for them at that point. The time to do something about that was gone long ago, arguably before the first human structure was built there. These are extremely high risk fire areas, particularly the Palisades. Fire doesn't just rain down from the heavens on unsuspecting victims, but it sure does hit ignorant ones hard sometimes. It's no different than building a house on the coast in reoccurring hurricane paths. How could this happen!?
There could have been much tighter building and defensible space regulations for as long as its been a development. This can be done on an individual basis too. You don't need regulations to enforce responsibility and logic, but they can help. There could have been MORE chaparral/human interface work, which is very different than forest/human interface work, as you and our president know. Likely wouldn't have made a difference in this ridiculous firestorm scenario with embers flying for MILES, but it can in many. Let's get on it.
We should invest in and make common sense tough decisions if we want to continue to build where fire is a common event. The last years, decades, century was when things could have been done. This is a great wakeup call for anyone in high fire risk areas everywhere, from individuals, to architects, to local/state/federal governments. These are the real conversations that we should be having, and I didn't even bring up ya know, higher temperatures and longer drought cycles. The time to do something about that looks to be gone too. The best we can do is deal with it and reduce wildfire risk to humans, however we can. Fire is a fact of life and its best not to ignore it, lie about it, and politicize it.
You don't appreciate nuance and facts very well. You're out of your element bigly and yes, you are seeing what you want to see and disregarding the rest, as always.
Big mythical win for So Cal water. Thank you, Mr. President.
