Los Angeles fires: Living here, we’re always on edge of catastrophe

People love — or detest — Los Angeles because it is the opposite of New York.

More space, bungalows with gardens, plenty of nature: in a place like Topanga to the west you can live in semi-wilderness and still be not just within reach of but actually in the city (by LA’s weirdly distended definition of the term). Then there’s all the wonderful hardcore nature of mountains, deserts and ocean within a few hours’ drive. Add in the endless sunshine and you have the ingredients for a laid-back, outdoor life.
