It is presently to the right of 405 or the east of 405 on Sepulveda Blvd where it intersects with the 405 Freeway. This area is next to West L.A and Beverly Hills which is another very rich area in Los Angeles. I'm sort of convinced at this point that most of these fires are arson or extreme carelessness of some people (one or both) because none of these new fires should be happening now unless people on drugs or homeless people are starting them at this point.
However, this could be adding to the problem. My son in law in San Diego County and our daughter now with two children bought a nice house in San Diego county in 2017. Their income then was around (for both of them) around 100,000 dollars a year.
However, he was telling me that now to buy the same house to get it financed you would need a 400,000 dollar a year income to be able to get any mortgage at all.
My wife's best friends daughter is in her mid 30s and presently trying to buy a house and not succeeding because what two people have an income of 400,000 dollars a year unless they are famous actors or CEOs of a big company?
There is incredible Anger regarding all this in California now where 1000s of families making between 100,000 to 300,000 dollars a year between the two of them cannot get a loan to buy a house.
However, the other problem is you might not be able to buy Fire insurance now either even if you are paying 10,000 to 20,000 dollars a year for fire insurance either.
So, we are watching the housing crisis get worse and worse and worse here in California especially for younger families from ages 30 to 50 years old.
This is a real problem and getting ever worse because of the fires in Los Angeles County just making all this 10 or 100 times worse for everyone.
