Only blue states can prevent homeless fires

In California, fires have always been a hot-button issue. But bad forest management has taken a backseat to bad city management, as California’s blazes have moved from the trees to the streets.

A fire recently burst up from the homeless encampments below a freeway and a BART track in Oakland, California, after multiple RVs below them caught fire. Two hours and 65 firefighters later, the fire was finally under control, though several roads were backed up and Caltrans had to inspect the train trestles to allow it to operate in the meantime.
