Except it really never was a "fine enough place". Wildfires didn't "become the norm". They are literally a part of the very ecosystem of California. Various trees have even evolved to need them.

Sure we fucked the planet, but don't blame "improper stewardship of the planet" on this one. This was hubris, like building on floodplains is also just plain hubris.
