"How Did the Los Angeles Wildfires of 2025 Get Out of Control?" The Los Angeles wildfires of 2025 devastated the city, leaving many wondering: how did things spiral so far out of control? In this episode, we sit down with Paul, the independent journalist behind the popular Instagram account Street People of Los Angeles, which documents the city's crime, homelessness, and urban decline. In a rare and candid interview, Paul shares his insights on the policies and decisions that may have paved the way for this disaster. Was it the leadership of Mayor Karen Bass? The influence of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives? Budget cuts? Or the role of LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley? Paul argues that the roots of this crisis were planted years ago and explores how Los Angeles’s policies may be setting a dangerous precedent for other cities across the nation. This is a thoughtful, eye-opening conversation about urban management, policy failures, and the broader implications for cities everywhere. Tune in to hear the story behind the smoke.    Show Notes: Street People Of Los Angeles:  Charity Tom Has Volunteered With Neighborhood Survants
