Not that this ever matters - I’m a complete stranger witnessing your life like riding my bike passed summer homes I’ll never live in. I don’t know if I should feel happy or relieved for you that you’re able to leave the toxic atmosphere of this scarred city, where the majority of us that remain will carry these particulates in our systems for the rest of the lives - and not because we want to but because we can’t leave. The laissez-faire display of your privilege stunned me in unexpected ways. No one ever promised me *fair* but these horrific events continue to affirm that community is verb for a precious few, and this is not that space.

Hi Chisa, thank you for taking the time to not only read my newsletter but share your thoughts. After re-reading today's note, I agree with you and I'm sorry if I came across as tone deaf or insensitive.

I don’t know what happened to make you so bitter about LA but this is like the tenth time you’ve talked about how much it sucks. I’m guessing a majority of your readers live here and have been shopping/watching you for years, including me. Don’t bite the hand that literally feeds you. We can get all this “behind-the-scenes” info in a 100 other newsletters.
