If, indeed - as the news reports indicated - these people lived in pricey Malibu area homes, I think anyone who is moderately wealthy, or even upper middle-class, should be able to take care of their own losses, just as most of them would expect the Katrina victims to deal with their personal tragedies. Government relief should only be available to those who are truly indigent. -RKO- 12/11/07

Just because someone lives in Southern California doesn't make them rich. But also keep in mind some of those"rich" folks lost everything in the fire.

That's a good question. I guess its about who matters. Over Thanksgiving I was in New Orleans. We went to the 9th ward during that weekend and I can tell you it is a devastated area-
Solid blocks are uninhabitable; piles of debris in the streets and in years, the orange spray paint showing the survey date, the number of abandoned pets and people alive and dead.
I don't think one house in 100 is habitable...and this is over 2 years after the flood. Those folks had no one to speak up for or care about them.
It makes you wonder even IF that neighborhood should be rebuilt, or turned back into marsh lands.

Don't be ignorant. Not every resident in So. Cal. is rich. Also, rich or not, whenever a disaster occurs, people's livelihood can easily be destroyed. This is probably one of the most ignorant comments I've ever seen on these Q and A boards.

The majority of the homes destroyed were not in wealthy areas.

I don't believe any of that goes to individuals. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on that but that's what I've heard.

Because They invest so much in their neighborhoods, they get breaks when stuff like fires happen.

I didn't know they were all rich. Why did they give millionaires millions that were in the twin towers???

It doesn't matter if they are rich they've probably earned it, plus they've lost thousands, we all deserve help.
