area without creating a dis as ter during a wildfire evacuation jus t does n't pass the "common s ense" tes t.

deal" is incredibly frus trating to thos e of us who live here. If a bucket is already overflowing, you don't keep pouring more water into it and s ay it's fine. By approving
this , the city is bas ically admitting the evacuation plan is broken but choosing to make it even more crowded anyway.
