Altadena

Building a home with future fires in mind adds Altadena as part of the L.A. wildfire rebuilding case. The episode links destroyed homes, local memory, and concrete-centered rebuilding approaches to Fire-Resilient Construction and the tradeoff between speed, cost, fire resistance, carbon, and livability.

Adam Carolla on California’s Collapse: Fires, Failed Leadership, and Gyno-Fascism later mentions Altadena in Adam Carolla’s skilled-trades argument: rebuilding Malibu, the Pacific Palisades, and Altadena will require electricians, plumbers, framers, roofers, drywallers, and other durable hands-on work.
