People don’t understand the scope of what just happened. They don’t understand the geography, the economics or the cast of characters. These are not just “neighborhoods.” The Palisades and Altadena were ancient worlds occupied by powerful forces backed by huge money and institutions. The Palisades more so, but Altadena is truly old and the loss might be more spiritually painful because of the historic nature of the homes that burned. You are quite right. It’s about to get baaaaad.
