Tens of thousands of residents are displaced and awaiting word on whether their homes survived the flames — some of them the city’s most famous denizens.

At first I was a bit turned off by news like this. Who cares? OTOH, seeing that even the wealthy can’t escape these disasters says something.
Anyway, coming from the Hurricane Coast, this horrifies me like no hurricane could. We have a small house, but it’s only 7yo and has strong structural elements against wind and water. I don’t care how your house is made, it’s going down if a blast furnace hits it.
In other news, how could you be filthy rich and life packed in like rats? If I had celebrity money, I’d be far past the edge of town.
I think there is something to be said for having a balance between having space for yourself and being around other people. Seems like the rich maintain this balance by having mansions next to each other. I don’t follow celebrities but do casually follow some Twitch streamers and it seems like many of them choose to live around other people so that they aren’t lonely, despite being rich enough to live in the middle of nowhere.
Guess a mansion and huge property are plenty for most. If I was filthy rich, I’d be like the guy in Ex Machina, need a helicopter to get to me.
And I’m not a misandrist! I actually love people, just not around my space. I’ll go to them when I want more company than my wife.
