It's super crazy here. So the challenge with Malibu is there's so many regulatory agencies that make it almost impossible to rebuild your home. So there's many homes that haven't even been able to be rebuilt since Woolsey Fire. So especially these houses on the beach, are especially difficult to build.

So most of these houses are from the 70s or even earlier, and they're people that are older who have the tax basis from a long time ago. So they probably won't be able to rebuild. Most of them are underinsured or the insurance dropped them because they're the area is so fire prone. So most of these people really like lost everything and it may take a decade or more for them to rebuild.

So essentially it's just a complete loss because they won't be able to sustain holding the property. So it's hard to tell what's going to happen to a lot of these homes. Probably they're just going to turn into like mega billionaire compounds that's going to be like kind of crazy. But yeah, it's really going to change the community a lot, especially in that area.

And so the half of Malibu that burned was the half that didn't burn in Woolsey. So it's just like, whoa, man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. So we had like these like fire hoses and we like soaked our house and the Franklin fire was a whole nother beast. So it was like, It was just going through the brush. It wasn't catching houses on fire. So the embers that landed were much easier to put out. There wasn't as much fire. There wasn't as much force or wind behind the fires.

So I was able to do a lot of good at neighbors' houses with just their garden hoses or their sprinklers. Or one neighbor had a fire hose pool system like we did. And It was much easier. But with this, it's like a house catches on fire with like levels and so many layers of like wood and different materials. It's like that's not going to get put out with a with a with a hose garden hose. Yeah.
