From Fox News: Dean Cain, who grew up in Malibu, California, told Fox News Digital that all of the homes he once lived in there, and in nearby Pacific Palisades, have been destroyed during this week’s Los Angeles-area wildfires.
“I ended up having three different houses in Pacific Palisades, one that I owned, two that I rented and lived in,” Cain said. “The three of those Pacific Palisades’ [homes], all of those burned, gone. Pacific Palisades looks like someone dropped a nuclear weapon on top of it and just flattened everything. I’ve never seen anything like that. Also, three of the houses that I lived in in Malibu are gone.”
The “Lois & Clark” star called the devastation “shocking and horrific, but not unexpected. It’s part of the reason I left California was this perfect storm of mismanagement and a failure of leadership.”
Cain said when he lived in Malibu, his water bill was ‘in the thousands’ per month, and fire insurance for his home cost at least $40,000 per year.
Cain said the Woolsey Fire in 2018 burned his backyard but not his house, but his insurance company still cancelled his policy. He moved to Henderson, Nevada the same year.
Slamming California’s poor management, Dean said, “There’s so many of us that have been shouting from the rooftops, including President Trump, numerous times, way back in the day during his first presidency. He’s been saying it, mismanagement is going to cost you. Removing money from the fire budget is going to cost you. Not controlled burning is going to cost you. Failure to reservoir the water, it’s going to cost you.”
“You screwed up, Gavin Newsom. You screwed up,” he declared. “There was plenty of water. Last year was record rainfall or the year before, record rainfall. Snowmelt, reservoir the water.”

In a separate interview with Fox News Digital Cain noted that all the liberal celebrities in Hollywood have been voting for all the things that don’t really affect them, “but when it does affect you — you can’t get a permit to rebuild or your house burns down or people loot your home afterwards — suddenly you love the police, you love the firefighters, you love people that you’ve been denigrating for years. You want common sense policy.”
“So once it affects you, your votes change. And I think this is going to turn a very, very blue state, much more red. I’m hoping California becomes purple….” Cain said, adding, “And I hope that this will wake up people so they’ll start voting for policies that make sense, common sense, and they’ll prepare for this sort of thing in the future.”
