Thoughts and prayers out to everyone who lost homes , people . Truly a tragic effect on the beautiful city of angels
My husband is from LA…….we live in Kansas now…….we love you too…….praying for you all…..❤️💫❤️
I'm from southern California. I've always loved us. I love how happy and astute we are. I love how we come together when times get rough and when they're good. I'll always miss and love my home state❤❤❤
💯
I’m also from Southern California and I appreciate anyone who says they love where they’re from, where they live, and their communities. The Santa Anita Race Tracks was very much an LA thing, coming together. I was there.
Prayers are with you, LA. Democrat party has ignored you. Hopefully, the Trump administration will rescue you.
@@texassingleshot We don't need Trump to rescue. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Thank you so much for this. As an Angeleno, this brought tears to my eyes and warmed my heart. Thank you to all ❤.
I could listen to these for hours. As someone in LA who isn't very fond of LA this year has made me fall in love with LA, but I wish I could afford LA.
I ❤L.A.!!!
Nowhere is like L.A…….and I love L.A.!!! I know people in Seattle, Missoula and Butte Montana, and people In Wisconsin….they ALL hate L.A., and California! That’s ok, and it does NOTHING to deter my love of Los Angeles!!
La need a new mayor and CA need a new governor!
think you might have slightly over-estimated how much people care about L.A.. which is very L.A. of you.
CaLOVEfornia!

I adore mi amor.

As a Californian born and raised, naturally my heart aches at the site of the ruins that was once such a beautiful paradise. And yet, I can't help but wonder, where was this out pouring of concern and support for the people in Palestine, Ohio? Why wasn't their tragedy given such attention and care 🤔??!!! 🙏🇺🇲🙏

This city breaks my heart. Finding a good job here feels impossible. Rent was already sky-high before the fires-now it’s a brutal Hunger Games just trying to compete with the wealthy in the rental market. I was born here. There’s nowhere to “go back to.”
I feel nothing but hopelessness as I struggle with both employment and housing. And I know I wouldn’t survive being homeless. 😞
Meanwhile, Trump is dedicating himself to making life as miserable as his own-and excelling at it. I honestly believe he’d take joy in watching the suicide rate rise among the people he despises. But every breath I take is a middle finger to him. 🤬
A distinction needs to be made between the first responders that were actual boots on the ground in the fire stricken areas and those higher up in the chain of command because, once again, as with the Camp Fire (Paradise) and the Maui fire, there was a disastrous failure to issue timely evacuation orders. It would appear that an evacuation order is seen as an admission of defeat, an admission that those who work as first responders are loath to make. More than that, there seems to be a disconnect between those who study wildfires and those who respond to them. To those who study wildfires, given the circumstances, the outcomes of the Palisades and Eaton fires had a crushing inevitability. The top levels of the first responder chains of command should have been aware of this from the get go. Apparently, they were not.
