California has grown quite a bit in the past few decades. Some of these problems didn't exist in decades past. Also, California gets less precipitation than prior decades. Those aren't failures of the people of California. It wasn't like they chose to change the amount of rainfall that would occur.

- Data_Junkie 7y agoThe fire isn't because of lack of rain. Nothing has changed, but time and people. People are causing this, not nature.
- vanniv 7y agoThe last few years have actually been uncharacteristically wet by historical standards. That's actually why this fire season is so bad. The problem isn't that too many people moved to California, the problem is that California has been aggressively blocking anything that might be construed as development, meaning that conditions just keep worsening everywhere.
