re: Lake Charles mayor pens Washington Post editorial. The comment section is full of hate

The far left (and right) are indeed hateful. But, I’d caution putting too much weight in random inter webs comment sections. It’s not a valid sample of the population.

Let it go.

Yeah, people worried about what these libs are saying about conservatives should check out what is said about libs on our poli biard

Not all, a lot talk about how they could actually manage the forest and do things to protect themselves, but there are a lot of comments that mirror those.

Sure, there are people who will shite on California for the wildfire response, but pointing out the lack of forest management and how it is a huge contributor to the massive, record-breaking fires over the past few years isn't comparable here. It is a huge contributing factor that has to, and thankfully is starting to, be addressed. When even the environmental nuts have started recognizing our country's putting out every single fire for over a century is a problem, that lack of management should be pointed out endlessly.

There's not much any state can do about getting bowled over by two major hurricanes in a season, then having a significant flood event later to boot.

I don't think they know enough about history to realize what they are setting in motion for the future.

I live in Alexandria, VA and work in downtown DC. These attitudes are very common in the local swamp population. Usually cloaked in nicer language, but the sentiment is there.

“Lake Charles mayor pens editorial in Washington Post”

He may as well have written it for the Berkeley student newspaper

Would love to see where they’ll get natural gas to power the electrical power plants to run their Leafs

I'd wager nearly none of the bleepers spewing all that hatred pay a dime of income tax.

Many of the people there don't want to move and have some conspiracy they are only being forced out so the land can be commercially developed.

thats what so funny. WHO THE frick would want to live in an area that floods over and over and is the most dangerous and crime ridden area in lake charles....why would you not want to move?

I have read the comments about, just being redeveloped once the flooding issue is taken care of.......WTF does tha have to do with moving your family to a safer neighborhood with better schools/

its like that community doesnt want to live in nicer areas with high class people surrounding them. Who gives a frick about race...protect and better your family.

La get hit with Cat 4 and cat 5 storms and it’s just another year living on the coast. The NE gets hit with a Cat 3 hurricane in 2012, I think, and it’s labeled “Super Storm Sandy”! Absolutely ridiculous!

---

You realize that happens for the same reasons the south freaks out when there is an inch of snow right? Sandy caused over $60 billion in damages

To be fair, if they get fair market value for their houses, that doesn't leave them being able to afford much. The argument for many is they'd have to have a mortgage or rent when they currently live in a paid off house.
