There are no easy answers to any of this. For every sane citizen who supports basic tree maintenance, there is the idiot who resists such. And that idiot will be the first to complain when his power is out for more than a few hours due to a major storm such as this one.

And the same liberals who talk about taxing the rich will complain about property tax increases to fix local infrastructure problems.

That is just the nature of the idiots in the world. You have then in your neighborhood and I have them in mine. It's just that I have more of them in mine. :^)

We deal with idiots that won’t let us clear the brush from up against our houses because a Kangaroo Rat may be perturbed, then act surprised when a wildfire wipes out a few hundred $1 million homes. The EPA is filled with ivory-tower fools.
