Also a worrisome sign that we have repeated fires at the same location too frequently, year after year, sometimes multiple time in a year.

I live next to the trail. Unfortunately, it happens multiple times a year. Not to mention trash, needles and syringes, stolen shopping carts, constant fighting and yelling - which I guess at this point we sweep under the rug as ephemeral “quality of life” issues - these fires are actually dangerous.

Why doesn't the "quality of life" and safety of the general public who play by the rules and contribute to society, not the priority? We have to tolerate their bad behavior why?

There’s an author named Gad Saad who introduced the concept of “suicidal empathy”. In my personal point of view, and sadly, it explains this phenomenon quite well.
