In my personal opinion, I do not see these communities being rebuilt for many years potentially even a decade. The reason I say this is because of what I personally experienced and saw with the rebuilding process during the Thomas Fire from Ventura to Santa Barbara. To this day there are still houses that haven't been rebuilt, that fire only took out nearly 1200 structures and was back in 2017 or 2018. Thank you!

I remember the Woolsey fire it was terrible. I live in Chatsworth so I'm very familiar with the area. I'm sure insurance premiums all through out southern California will be going up drastically. In my personal opinion, I don't think that insurance companies will even offer coverage after this. This one was really bad. I've seen the effects of fires first hand but I've never seen anything like this. Tens of thousands of homes and structures wiped out. Thank you for your comments!!!

Yes there are some very wealthy people that live all through out these communities. Hopefully, they wake up and realize that what is taking place all throughout LA is not normal. Thank you!

I agree with you. We need to create a better more effective, and more efficient way to enter this beautiful country legally. Thank you for your thoughts and comments!!!

I love it! Thank you for the comments!!!

When he lost I was so disappointed. Maybe this tragedy is enough to open the eyes of the residents in SoCal. Clearly, the direction the city is headed in downward. Thank you for your thoughts and comments!!!

The worst part of it all is the fact that it could have been prevented. Had the city and state allocated funds and resources towards wildfire prevention or mitigation like they should have. Thank you for your thoughts and comments!!!

You nailed it! I felt like I was doing something wrong by driving through the neighborhood and filming it. All I want to do is provide some insight and show how catastrophic this fire really was. The last thing I want to do is show disrespect to the community. I cant wait for the day that I will be able to post a video showing how beautifully they rebuilt the palisades!!! Unfortunately, that's not gonna be for a very long time. Thank you for your kind words and comments I appreciate them!!!

Yes, I would have to agree with you. Most of the value of these properties is held within the land or location. However, in my opinion, there is now a substantial increase in risk associated with these properties and many unknowns. For example, will these communities even be insurable in the future? What will the permitting process look like? What will happen to the value of homes that haven't burned down? If the value of your home doubled since 2020 what happens to all that equity (gone)? If the insurance company only covers the mortgage cost, do you still have to pay the HELOC that you pulled out? Most refinanced and pulled out liquidity or equity from their home while interest rates were low. Also, mortgage rates are still very high 7-8%ish and the mortgage application rate is at a 30-year low. (Not much demand) There are many unknowns and risks now. Which really means blood in the water for shark investors. Investors will buy this land their just gonna want it for a huge discount. Thank you for your thoughts and comments I appreciate it!!!

@@Cameron.Desborough Well the insurance issue is a growing concern, and unlike some of the comments here, it is not a Red State or Blue State divide. Florida is close to a complete pull out by the major companies and Citizens (basically state insurance) is the last player left in many areas. You raise important questions and I think the future is basically going to be only the wealthy who can self-insure are going to be able to build and own in certain zones. I am sympathetic to these homeowners of course, but the value is mostly in the land, not the construction. However, they are vulnerable to changes in state law that might prohibit rebuilding or restrict the type of build they might undertake, but I suspect that the majority along Malibu, especially Carbon Beach are able to finance their rebuild and likely did not require a mortgage in the first place. The problem will be in the re-sale value if there are dramatic changes to insurance availability . This is something we are all going to have to face whether you live next to the coast, in tornado alley or anywhere vulnerable to extreme weather.

Most trees are burned, and scorched. Are you blind?!

@eddieg6436 wow! Nice one !

Yeah your right I do have a tendency to wonder off topic, that's something I need to work on. (my mind wonders).Also, please take into consideration the fact that when I make a video like this there's a million things going on around me while driving a tractor trailer semi truck in the rain and in a construction zone with police/ firemen/ construction workers and many other hazards everywhere, all of this goes on while I give my commentary. All of my comments are just me sharing my personal thoughts and opinions. Everything I say should be taken into consideration and with a huge grain of salt. Most of the time I make very broad generalizations and vague descriptions. Its very challenging, But I will do my best to improve. I appreciate the constructive criticism. Thank you for your thoughts and comments.

@@Cameron.Desborough Not kidding... 7% of the population have ADHD or ADD. The experience is tight focus and inability to take one's mind off those thoughts without them flying away, mostly inaccessible again. Losing one's train of thought. This is a condition, not an illness. It's permanent; but that fractured rush of thoughts can me treated with aa couple pills once or twice a day. ADHD is thrilling, but it's personally painful as order is not achievable but for moments. Meds change the person to less managed to more managed, rarely fully managed. The personality changes only a little bit. More business can be done. Someone kind enough to help long term makes the ADHD life so much more enjoyable. There may be ADHD clinics in your region. UCLA has one; it's only by continuous effort that they will see the applicant and then test them. Online there will be ADHD and ADD tests. Don't weight too much on them if this is interesting to you. But the tests show clear cases of ADHD/ADD. At the same time, some have bipolar characteristics. So, that's 2.

@@devengudinas1649 Yeah maybe you’re right. Dukes is a great place. That’s a very nice story about you proposing to your wife. Thank you for your comments!!!

@@abc123fhdi You are very correct. This is a complete and total disaster. Only time will tell what happens to these communities. For right now the futures not looking very bright for Southern California. Thank you for your thoughts and comments I appreciate them!!!

It’s cool bro im Jewish. lol 😂

@@CHrbn Maybe you’re right. I’m not perfect brotha. Thanks for checking out my channel. I appreciate it!!! Stay tuned I’ll post more videos and commentary of the aftermath.

@@Cameron.Desborough I understand what you’re saying though. You’d think there would be a better place to put section 8. Bad policy made this possible. Governor newson should be ashamed of himself

Gavin is trembling right now. These are the very communities that spent billions of dollars campaigning against Donald trump. Now they have to beg him for help.

@@Cameron.Desborough North Carolina and Hawaii need help first or at least same time

That was great LOL !!! Thanks for the comment!!!

Thank you for your kind words!!! I appreciate it!!!

Truth hurts only once ,poor sarcastic liberal ignoramus.

@@beethovensg Bro I’m anything but liberal. I just don’t know how to respond to your comment. lol. 😂

@Cameron.Desborough sorry, I just default to my 'fed -up' mode. Trump for King, and keep safe in Newscum territory.

I want to thank you for writing such a funny comment!!! LOL That was great. Thank you for thoughts and comments!!! lol

Yes, you are correct there's no shot this place is gonna get rebuilt in 18 months. I've never seen anything like it. In my personal opinion, it will take more than a decade to rebuild these communities. Also, a lot of these people are gonna have a rude awakening when they see how little their insurance policies cover. Thank you for your thoughts and comments!!!

Sounds like my kind of place. LOL Thank you for your comments!!!

What took place here is a complete and total tragedy and unfortunately the light at the end of the tunnel is very very far away. I hope that the people who live in socal will use this experience as an opportunity to remove and vote out the people who run the state and the city. This was a complete and total failure that could have been prevented.

Thank you for your kind words!!! I really appreciate it!!!

I'm sure many people inherited their family home in Pacific Palisades. However, there is no way to prove that, and even if you could why would that matter? Also, I hope you can see the irony in your statement about "blanketed statements". Like the one you just made. It is not my intent to be disingenuous. Most of my comments are my personal thoughts and opinions and should not be taken as factual. God Bless America and the right to freedom of speech. Thank you for your thoughts and comments.

Also, you don’t need to tell us how many hours a day you’re working you’re getting compensated for your work so don’t sit there I like you some mother Theresa or something like that if your days are that difficult, sir why don’t you hire some people to help you maybe that would help the economy maybe that would help the Pacific Palisades againtaking all day long with your TH-cam channel. You’re a farcical disingenuous genius.

@ Lol 😂 you’re the best 👍 Thanks again for the kind words.

You can put a Lambo sticker on a honda lol.

@@Cameron.Desborough same concept as the palisades home… if you can’t afford it, you still get it. 🎪

Maybe this is exactly what the city needs to wake up and start voting these ineffective politicians out. Thank you for your thoughts and comments.

@ hopefully… but if all the solid people leave… they’ll lose their tax base

Over the years millions of Californians have been leaving. This is one of the many reasons why the state as a whole is in over 1.6 TRILLION dollars worth of debt. These fires will attribute to the states already massive debt. Also, the amount of taxes that the state collects via (property taxes) post LA fires is going to be reduced substantially only further exacerbating the states debt.

You know its funny you say that because the first time I drove through the area I had some very weird feelings. There are some very odd ways in which the fire burned. Almost like a laser beam came through or something. Very odd. Thanks for the comment!!!

yeah green leaves dont burn bc they have water in them....

Have you ever seen a forest fire? Plenty of green stuff burns. The idea that a tree wont burn from a fire because its alive and green is just idiotic

@@kcwkembm if it has mositure in the tree it wont burn...

it actually doesnt make you wonder because those plants are watered regularly. The house is made up of dead dry wood. hope this helps! try not to immediately insinuate conspiracies and utilize your critical thinking skills!

So sad yet so true. Thanks Jenna for your comments I appreciate it.

LOL Gavin is trembling right now lol. Now he has to beg Trump for a bailout. Thank you for your interest and comments.

Yes your probably right, and I'm sure I have made some inaccurate statements. But in my personal opinion when we take a step back and look at the bigger picture in totality we will see that Donald Trump is pushing an agenda that will drastically reduce government spending, thus leading to governmental job loss. (Which I'm for) Again most of my statements are vague and impulsive. These are just my opinions. None of which should be taken as a matter of fact. Thank you for your interest and comments its nice.

@@Cameron.Desborough government is already bloated enough...

@@jennifer1177 I agree with you, the last thing we need is more government.

@ Thank you for your comments I appreciate it!!!

@@Cameron.Desborough Sure but cutting back on regulation and even suggesting getting rid of osha? insanity no matter who says it period.

Yes this is exactly what happens when you elect the wrong people. Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it.

What has happened here is such a shame. Its a complete and total disaster. Thank you for your interest and comments.

Yes you are so right. This is exactly what happens when you elect the wrong people. Thank you for your comments.

Thank you for the kind words. That was very thoughtful of you to say!!! More videos and talks to come!!!

Your Welcome!!! Thanks for checking out my channel!! Hopefully, this eye-opening experience is enough for them to see that their policies and politics aren't working. However, I'm doubtful. Thank you again!!!

Thats funny AF lol. Thanks for your comment! 🤣

Why can’t section 8 get an ocean view

tantalizing!

Yes you are right. Once you qualify for low income housing you now eliminate the need for financial improvement. In my opinion it creates a complacent person with little drive or ambition. Ultimately leading to their own demise. Thank you for your comments.

@@barbies4you758 You are so right. This state has completely lost its marbles.

Hopefully this tragedy will get them to open their eyes and see that what they are voting for isn’t working. Thank you for your comments 👍

@@JayDee25895 Now your thinking 💭.

Billionaire Beach... lol You can call it whatever its all gone.

@@wwomannc4834 Yes mandating low income housing in the palisades is crazy. This is just one more reason for people to leave.
