Well, I think there'll be a lot of immediate things they need to do, right? And some of it we're already seeing, like they have to finish putting out the fires, right? I mean, that's not done, and they have to do all of that immediately. immediate kind of work. And then the midterm stuff, and this could take a long time, like getting the utilities back in place, clearing the lots, demolition.

The broader question, I suppose, or some of the broader questions I have to deal with is a land use question, first of all, and housing, where to build, how to build. Something about resiliency probably.

And then there's this bigger question too about climate change and what does not only the state do about that, but then I think if you're a democratic leader in the state, you're looking for this to be some kind of catalyst for more climate action.

Yeah, and not only how, but where. And there has been some criticism online. Why do these people live here? And I think some people grappling with it themselves. Yes, we will be rebuilt, but why are we doing it here? And I guess I think about it, well, first of all, it's a personal decision some people in very high-profile ways have made, right?

They've left Malibu or they've left the Palisades or Altadena because of climate change. And many of us in California know people who have shed investments in this state and looked elsewhere because they see a climate future changing. that looks better somewhere else. I mean, it's tough for a couple of reasons, right? A home is not just four walls.

It's where their kids go to school and it's a job. It's also, it comes from an incredible place of privilege, I think, to think, yes, I could move to a different state. Not everybody is in that kind of position. And then ultimately, individual decisions to move somewhere else Might be good and rational for them, but that doesn't solve the climate problem.

So let's say I go to northern Minnesota or somebody else in this area does. That might be very good for a lot of years. But ultimately, that catches up to you, right? Unless there's something done. I'm sympathetic to the idea that we should be careful about where we build. And geez, I mean...
