Are some of you actually pretending $500K to other city services would keep fires from burning houses?
This is LA. The city gives 1.9 billion to cops.
Billions. 1.9 of them.
900 million to the fire department, cutting 17.5 million of it burnt down a bunch of houses?
This isn't a money or budgeting issue.
It is perfectly fine to think your money is funding stuff that isn't needed, or it's wasted, or whatever, but budget allocations to other things and small fire training cuts aren't helping save houses. Houses aren't burning because incompetent people don't know how to put out fires.
Water, water availability, land/scrub management, wind...some things can be controlled, some can't, but it's not money keeping things from happening.
