A disturbing fact emerged after wildfires ravaged Southern California in January this year.  The California Coastal Commission (CCC) had thwarted the fire-safety efforts of the Los Angeles Department of Power and Water’s (LADPW) in the Pacific Palisades, one of the worst-affected neighborhoods.  The CCC even fined the department $2 million for its initiative.

The Palisades was said to be at “elevated fire risk.”  So, in 2019, the LADPW started replacing wooden utility poles, which were about a hundred years old, with stormproof, fireproof steel poles.  But an amateur botanist complained that the work would harm some 200 shrubs of endangered Braunton’s milkvetch. So, the CCC ordered a halt to the upgrade.

The shrubs were saved, thanks to the CCC prioritizing the environment over people.  But eventually, several more were destroyed in the wildfires, the worst California has seen.  Thirty people were killed, 18,000 homes gutted, and over 57,000 acres scorched.  The Palisades fire alone killed eight people, razed 6,800 buildings, and burned 23,400 acres.

Autonomous, quasi-judicial agencies like the CCC are meant to remain apolitical and humane rather than punitive in their duties. But across the U.S., many such agencies are anything but. The CCC could well qualify as one of the worst.

Bystanders watch as flood water ravages this street. Can you believe that this is still happening in LA county. Why? Its simple. There are not enough catch bins on the city streets to take in the watershed in a given area, the drains simply lack the capacity to handle what our pacific skies drops upon us, or the catch bins malfunction from neglected trash and built up debris along the basin gratings. _______________________________#BelowLA _________________________ ᑭᖇEᔕEᑎTIᑎG ᗩ ᑭEᖇᔕᑭEᑕTIᐯE Oᖴ ᒪOᔕ ᗩᑎGEᒪEᔕ YOᑌ ᕼᗩᐯE ᑎEᐯEᖇ ᔕEEᑎ ᗷEᖴOᖇE! _______________________________________________________________________ #mtb #ladpw #ladwp #lafcd #urbanphotography #losangeles #floods #losangeleshistory #flooding #floodcontrol #california #naturaldisaster #stormdrain #civilengineer #cityofangels #elysianvalley #oldphoto #lacounty #larain #losangelesriver #lariver #urbanexploration #destruction #hollywood #mountainbiking #fixie #history #bmx #angeleno https://www.instagram.com/p/B8KCpoxgSlP/?igshid=1s1htgc6s470r

Another flooded street in LA [1932]. The more I look at these old LA flood pics the more I imagine all the thought, time, and energy to make our city habitable. It took a ton of work involving much trial and error. Today we have a system designed specifically for the contour of LAs up-and -down topography. The flood control district soon eventually installed catch bins on the streets to capture accumulated runoff and remove it from the road and into miles of long reinforced concrete boxes/tunnels designed to move water off the streets as quickly as possible. _____________________#BelowLA__________________________________ ᑭᖇEᔕEᑎTIᑎG ᗩ ᑭEᖇᔕᑭEᑕTIᐯE Oᖴ ᒪOᔕ ᗩᑎGEᒪEᔕ YOᑌ ᕼᗩᐯE ᑎEᐯEᖇ ᔕEEᑎ ᗷEᖴOᖇE! __________________________________________________________________ #mtb #ladpw #ladwp #lafcd #urbanphotography #losangeles #floods #losangeleshistory #flooding #floodcontrol #california #naturaldisaster #stormdrain #civilengineer #cityofangels #elysianvalley #oldphoto #lacounty #larain #losangelesriver #lariver #urbanexploration #destruction #hollywood #mountainbiking #fixie #history #bmx #angeleno https://www.instagram.com/p/B8J_4n1gTIR/?igshid=bvmnbgxi9ccc
