According to many people, California is so over-regulated that they do not allow nature to take it's own course which eventually leads to a big fire like this. Many other states have these same types of environments with the same risk and they handle it intelligently. California would rather save a few owls and destroy thousands of acres of property just to spite sane White men telling them to do the opposite. Many of the people in power in coastal areas of California are idiots and nobody seems willing are capable of opposing them. Inland California is pretty nice , mostly conservatives and these types of problems are usually not as big an issue.

Nah, just chickens coming home to roost. The fire conditions just get worse and worse as there are no controlled burns or local threat management and people refuse to set aside defensible space but communities refuse to address these conditions because the solutions are unpleasant - and in many cases controlled burns are off of the table anyway because there's too much fuel and too much proximity to homes and structures. Cal Fire is also fucking retarded so that doesn't help and to cap the whole thing off California is in a dry period. The climate of the American west has been described as "dryness punctuated by occasional periods of wetness" and that's about right; people like to point to "muh global warming" but California has been getting steadily drier and slightly warmer since the early 20th century just as it has done in the past on a regular basis before getting wetter and then drier again. This hasn't been helped by the incredible amounts of damage that they've done to their watersheds.
Also, IIRC the feds studied it and came to the conclusion that starting dozens of wildfires all over California would be a good way to bring the entire state to a screeching halt and do hundreds of billions of dollars of damage to the US economy between the insurance, loss of productivity, financial stress of refugees to other states and the costs of fighting the fires. You essentially remove California from the equation of the US for a couple of weeks and it's been theorized that if there was ever a conventional invasion of the west coast this would be part of it.

Sorry for being completely off topic here, but when did we start measuring things in "football fields a minute"?
