Great post. Fully admit to humiliating myself by clicking the Load More Items bracket more than once as if that was a feature on this site.

I’ve been wondering a lot about Los Angeles post-evacuation. Is there still a nominal population after the evacuation was scaled down? Are there still holdouts in the redzones?

There is still a large population within most of LA, mostly slums constructed in the hastily-abandoned ruins. The city's really only uninhabitable in the summer months, so it was a popular destination in the winter for vagrants. Still, pretty much the entire country agrees the evacuation was an unmitigated, completely avoidable disaster. Beach and mountain communities have been repopulated, and some (not a lot) of people are coming back to LA.

Previous government policy was to evacuate people from areas with extremely excessive UV conditions (as that would have horrific health consequences), but this bandaid situation is untenable, so now they just tell you to stay inside and maybe put on some sunscreen. Alternatively, if you have a second house, you can winter in it during the summer months and come back to your first home once UV is manageable in the fall.

Woah... how'd you manage the search site feature? My hunch is a 1x1 table.
Yep.

What's a yellow zone?
Places with either severe water restrictions, high UV levels (but not high enough to be a red zone), or places experiencing other forms of severe environmental degradation.

Are there any equivalent areas in the United States right now?
