Did anyone hear about the debacle in Lost Angeles from a fire under an interstate (freeway)?

What happened was Lost Angeles code-enforcement was so busy with other things (enforcing Covid restrictions?) they never bothered to police numerous storage yards placed under interstate bridges until one massive collection of wooden pallets (grossly outside permits) went up sending thousands of degrees of super-heated air up into the concrete/steel of the road and bridge-support pillars. 

At first inspectors said the affected stretch of I-10 would have to be torn down and rebuilt - which would have shut down one of the most heavily-traveled roadways in the world for at least a couple of months. Not surprisingly after Gavin "Haircut" Newsom visited and "took charge" of the situation (rolls eyes) the inspectors suddenly decided it didn't have to be shut down and rebuilt after all. 

No doubt the unions pushed for the rebuild even though it was not necessary because they wanted the $$$. Newsom is trying to triangulate so he said "no" to the unions apparently.

There is more to it than that

Huge homeless encampments were there. Thus, nobody bothered with it, lest they be seen as mean spirited.

The pictures I saw show enough damage that I would not be willing to drive on that stretch of road. I suspect the union will be ok, as now they will have to do many 'minor repairs' over and over. Each allowing for cost overruns. 

It is just another failure to execute the actual purpose of the local/state government. 

I am not the least bit surprised.

It's depressing to see that Phoenix, Seattle, San Fran, and Los Angeles all look alike with the homeless problem.

Robert,

In 2017 there was a fire that caused the collapse of a bridge on I285, a major highway around Atlanta,  Initial investigation and even charges involved three homeless men, but they were all dropped when it was the government's fault.

Being homeless is like being black -- you really can't be responsible for anything.

Regards.
Russ

Cultural rot of anti-conservative-fanaticism (radical revolutionary socialism).

One of our officers saw a suspicious female carrying a gasoline can from a what later turned out to be an arson fire in a wildland area near a community in Lost Angeles. He contacted LAPD to inform them that he had the person under observation. They told him that they "weren't interested" without much explanation, and hung up. 

A few days before the fire, I personally ran into a woman who matched the description of the woman with the gas can very close to the burn area. She was lurking in bushes on private property and I compelled her to leave. She looked like a dude until you got up close - obviously Lesbian. Her eyes/expression looked INSANE at the time and I kept by distance and tried to be as polite as I could because I sensed she was highly tense (coming off meth most likely). 

It was probably the same woman who started the fire (to "get back at" society no doubt) and because the cops knew she was homeless, they deliberately didn't want to pursue her as a suspect. So she was allowed to leave the neighborhood carrying the gas can without being even detained nor questioned by LAPD.
