Some people are going to learn what it feels like to be homeless like the people they have been ignoring most of their lives

[ChrisMeyers-dqbv]

Dang. Some of the comments in here are insane. Whether rich or poor, you shouldn't wish this on anyone.

[cachecow]

I guess we'll finally get access to those "private beaches" those homeowners created

[kzhemh]

People living on the beach probably never dreamed they would lose their homes n a massive fire, a tsunami maybe, but not a fire.

[ZxZ]

I once walked along that road, and was in awe at all the beautiful homes by the seaside, and now its all ashes...

[StacBurger-xs]

And just think the mayor of Los Angeles is in Africa exactly. Why would the mayor of Los Angeles being Africa doing what, for Los Angeles and taxpayers in the city of Los Angeles?

Those homes were so close together the flames just jumped from house to house. They had great ocean views for a while

[lglg]

The state or federal government should buy up those beachfront properties, and there should never be another structure built on the land. It should become part of the park system.

[lorettaharris]

This is heartbreaking. All those beautiful mansions, and businesses burning up, and no fire insurance to cover it. I can see people in CA changing from Democrat to Republican after these disastrous fires. Things have to change in California!

[razvanon]

wow, all the shacks and huts are burned to the ground

[ms.jessadventures]

That's insane what happened to Malibu on highway 1 oh my God.

[kennethpereyda]

Well Gruesome Newsom's chance at becoming the next president went up in smoke

[jaguarandi]

should we be even more concerned because they were "pristine homes" ms. reporter?

[waltergrimm]

We had this in Europe multiple times in the middle ages, so we stopped building cheap with wood

[grfe]

if only they had driven more Teslas....

[lrjayden]

Its insane i was just in malibu admiring those beautiful homes on the beach and now they’re just rubble. That is literally insane. Prayers from florida

[allenbaldwin]

How did the houses by the water catch fire and the trees are still standing right next to them not even burning 😂

[renderuntocaesarwhatiscaes]

Its gonna be tuff to get people to even care most of the country looks at that and sees nothing but rich houses people with millions of dollars

[PilgrimBangs]

I didn't know MSNBC was still a thing. I thought it was going bankrupt.

[karmicpower]

So fire is able to cross 4 lanes of road?
