Future Crisis?
There are times when a short-term fix generates long-term problems and this might be one. To solve a housing shortage in Los Angeles County, the board of supervisors has approved a vast development on raw land. The problem? It is wildfire country and Los Angeles and its environs are particularly susceptible to conflagration. The county might be setting itself up for a future crisis. Communications from the scientific community have been ignored, and promises of developers accepted. The lure of new homes and jobs in building them appears to have been too much to resist. Should fires come in the future, the board of supervisors will deal with them at that time. But, that does not negate the loss of property, possessions and even, life. It is suspect government relations.
