  11. 1- About how the fires are affecting the poor town of Los Angeles
    2- He is the community leader who lost everything in the second fire.
    3- He says that poor people like him are not good enough for land.
    4- They built they're houses with everything found. There are no toilets and they have to shower in the stream.
    5- The poverty percent has stayed at 20% for the last 2 decades while there has been an economic growth of 4%. The rich are getting richer and the poor evicted.
    6- They're trying to make the eviction but they not have the enough money
    7- The local government does not have the money to relocate the whole community to a safer place, so there are fears of another fire happening again.
