Scores of Los Angeles residents returned Tuesday to wildfire-ravaged Pacific Palisades after officials began letting people drive back into the scorched community, the first opportunity most have had to carefully scour the sites of their former homes.

Josh Altman argues that up to 70% of Pacific Palisades residents won't return or rebuild their homes due to "simple math" following the devastating wildfires.

For the first time since the devastating fire erupted, all Pacific Palisades residents are allowed to return home

Almost three weeks after fleeing their homes during the Palisades Fire, all affected residents are allowed to briefly return to the burn areas to survey the damage. Los Angeles Mayor Karen bass tried to reassure residents the city was moving as quickly as possible.
