Nice to see that among the destruction of the LA fires someone was smart enough and sufficiently prepared to make the effort for their home not to become part of the problem
The city needs to put a lot of this stuff into their building code, as they have for earthquakes, and ideally before the rebuilding starts. But if they’re not prepared to then maybe the insurers will.
Labour gets A Thing right…
One half of this story sits in the cockpunch thread but the other I thinks sits here. I am going for the positive as I have seen/felt enough negativity this week from the US.

Nice to read some good news
I feel these stories are often at best 50:50 on the good news front. The fact the entire problem is man made in the first place does detract from the overall picture.
