You know what's always kinda bothered me about wildfire media

coverage?

I just heard Anderson Cooper say, regarding the Malibu fire, that the flames are burning some of the most expensive homes in the world.

Reporters/anchors always seem to dwell on the fact when pricey homes are in danger or burn.

You never hear them say, "Tonight, dozens of moderate priced homes are in danger."

Why is the price of the house relevant?

It's tragic to see ANYBODY'S home burn.

If anything, it should be less of a big deal when expensive homes burn because theoretically, these are people who can easily afford to rebuild.

I've never understood why affluent homes are made out to be seemingly so much more important.

But that's just me.
