yeah, i don't feel very bad for multi million dollar homes, which are built in places they shouldn't be, going up in flames. Cant people at least pretend to learn from the past, at least a little bit?

It was funny, they compared the disaster response in Southern California to post-Katrina and were proud of how much better the evacuees in the football stadium were treated. They were saying that it showed how much has been learned. But isn't there a big demographic difference in those evacuees? Is it fair to compare the two?
