A Pacific Palisades homeowner from California is criticizing city leadership for its poor response to the wildfires, claiming it has failed residents "to an enormous extent."

After wildfires ravaged his southern California community, James Borow spoke to "The Ingraham Angle" about the destruction of homes, businesses, and schools. Now, Californians must rebuild their lives.

"The Palisades is a unique place in the world, and I don't blame anyone associated with it. However, I believe Los Angeles failed us to a catastrophic degree, and it should never happen again," he said on Planet Chronicle on Thursday.

Borow remembered seeing his house on fire through his car's camera while he and his family were absent from the location.

"The house burned down in about an hour, with no emergency services present. I witnessed it from the Las Vegas airport, which made it an incredibly surreal experience. However, I'm furious because I know it could have been prevented. Everyone was aware of the bad winds."

Despite knowing that many residents lacked quality insurance, city officials still failed to adequately respond to the tragedy.

"If 1,600 people in your town lack quality insurance, you would expect to verify the water pressure, reservoir, and ensure fire trucks are operational, as basic operational issues have failed."

Borow described local government as functioning as a "facade."

"They pretended to be in government the whole time, but when they had the chance to assist us in our time of need, they failed to deliver."

Fires destroyed Borow’s "entire neighborhood."

"Borow, who resided in the Alphabet Streets, told Planet Chronicle that the area was completely destroyed. Every neighbor's house was demolished, including his own, which housed his 5-year-old and 3-year-old children. Their school, preschool, library, art class, music class, and gymnastics center were all destroyed, leaving nothing behind."

Despite the devastation, Borow expressed optimism about moving forward and rebuilding.

"We're rebuilding and doubling down. I love the Palisades and believe it can be incredible with good leadership. We're optimistic if competent people can run this place. There's no reason it has to be like this."
