"Just b/c your dwelling has been reduced to smoldering ash does not give you the excuse to make other residents feel unsafe by begging for water or clothing. It drives down property value, & frankly, it’s unsightly to have someone going around in their charred rags & asking for handouts. Enough is enough. For any stragglers still out there, we are demanding you clear out of public places tonight, or the department will be forced to take more drastic action.” -- The Onion

In response to this post@CindyWeinstein
CALIFORNIA MUST PROVE FIRES WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN IF THEY WANT FEDERAL AID
"There can't be a blank check on this, however, because people want to make sure that as rebuilding occurs, as things go on in California, they have to be resilient, so that these sorts of things can't happen again."
Curiously no such requirement for Asheville, NC.
