Some of the rich do build water tanks on their properties to fight fires with, others install hydrants but if no water comes out of the hydrant, I guess what good does it do. These were million dollar homes or more but not the elites of Beverly Hills homes. There was a flight data analyst I seen where they were tracking the helicopters flight paths and their was better than half a dozen over the Beverly Hills area dropping water to protect those homes then there was of sporadic helicopters above the actual fires. Not all individuals were rich, million dollar homes aren't that uncommon, California is an expensive place to live, it sounds like a lot of you or I but it's pretty common or power for the course there. I worked with a guy a few years back who went out there with his family, they were contemplating moving there as the place we both worked, they had a plant out there also. Back then, and I am talking a couple decades ago, they looked at mobile homes on the waterfront because houses cost to much money. Two hundred and fifty thousand for a mobile home on beach front property, with no yard at all, just stacked next to each other he said. The reason they chose not to move out there he said was because he'd had to drive two hours each way back and forth from work. I was also reading the other day that the typical cost for property insurance out there was four hundred fifty thousand a year, can you even imagine, how people manage to live out there I have no idea but I am glad I don't have those kinds of expenses.
