If your house was on fire would you take an incremental approach to putting it out?

Yes, of course. First I'd put out the fire in the garage and see if that caused problems on the rest of the block. I'd proceed depending on the result of my garage analysis.

Have to form committee and study groups first. And then some polling, after the advance teams flood the media with their "conventional wisdom".

I personally would do something. But most people will just turn around and ignore it. Because it's so scary, so they'll just burn with their house and everyone in it

Don’t own it and hate the property manager. I’m on the fence.

You might if you set the fire to collect the Insurance money.

Actually depending on how much it has burned, I'd rather it go really fast in an epic conflagration that cleans up a lot of the unusable debris and materials, thus making clean-up and rebuild much faster and more efficient. I know this because of the Carr Fire of '18.

They don’t fight the fire with essential oils either

'im going to vote for the guy who started the fire to put the fire out' funny how the state tends towards perpetuating itself...

Well you can't expect your whole house to get extinguished in the same decade. That's not how fire departments work and people aren't ready for that type of change. Don't be naive.
