SoCal ping.
California is coming up on 50 years of sitting on their asses, after their ancestors broke their tails to make the place livable.
So, now the chickens are ‘coming home to roost’.
Unngh!

SURFS UP DUDES! Wear you Santa suits like in Cocoa Beach with the surfing Santas.
Quick, import more illegals. California is running out of things to spend tax money on.
Too bad, and those homes don’t look high dollar. Glad it’s a small area, and I hope they get good help. That’s no way to spend Christmas.
The plates keep grinding, and the surface keeps twisting. Pipes keep breaking.
The local Democrats don’t care about poor people. They should have had plenty of tax money to prevent this.

Well they can’t invest in things like that...I mean what about illegal alien legal representation and healthcare?
I know a guy whose family lived about a half a mile from that area. In the mid-twentieth century, there were a lot of Italians living in the neighborhood and there was a a Catholic church with a largely Italian congregation at 49th and Main. Later the area turned black. Now, the neighborhood seems to be “diverse,” and the Catholic church has become an Ethiopian Orthodox church.
If California is anything like Texas, and it probably is in this respect, those with property and other damages won’t collect a cent from the city.
Of course, the city, state, and county has millions for the homeless and illegals.
New tax....INCOMING!
That’s a really good one.
Surfs Up dudes!

The photos look like somewhere in the third world.
I wonder why?
Ugh, cast iron (and galvanized steel). It happens. A couple years ago at work a 4 inch pipe burst over a 3 day weekend. That pipe was about 35 years old. Nobody noticed (or cared to report it) as it flooded 4 feet high and poured out into the street for days.
There is a company I know of - a stockbroker friend pitched their stock to me years ago - that makes rubber sleeve inserts on a scale for municipal use. This is a problem across the country - old water mains and sewers that crack and break, and very expensive to repair and rebuild. Much cheaper to be pro-active and go in and line these pipes with a rubber coating. I didn’t buy the stock. It may be doing well, but my hunch is cities and states aren’t that big into the “maintenance and prevention” business the way a private property owner would be. They just wait until it breaks and charge it to the taxpayers.
