1) Palisades wasn’t only neighborhood that burned down. Racially mixed Altadena did too, esp. the historically black area. Altadena isn’t in the city of LA, but Bass was the representative of the Establishment (including Newsom) that had disastrously failed to, eg, clear enough brush and prevent the calamity; 2) Her polls tanked after the fires 3) Raman seems to have campaigned on the fires; So did Spencer Pratt. 4) Homeless problem a huge negative but would that have been enough to sink her? 4) Hollywood hated Bass because the Dialog Cafe collapsed in a water main break? Versus the fire, general not-up-to-jobness it illustrated? Please. (And I like Dialog Cafe.)
