A year-ish ago there was a massive power outage in dt long beach. We were without power for almost a week. Only the newer buildings built with backup generators had juice. During this time there were an outbreak of fires from people lighting candles and forgetting about them. The elderly had issues with medication that needed refrigeration going bad. People were stuck in elevators, in one instance for almost 20 hours.

It was a cluster fuck. Showed just how unprepared for a natural disaster the city of la is. We are absolutely fucked and on our own when the infrastructure goes down.

Is it acceptable for the power to go out in your dwelling/where you live?**

And for what duration of time?

**Assuming you pay your bills in full and on time, you chinzy fucks.
If this is a huge concern for you then only rent from newer buildings which have their own back up generator. Or if you own your residence get a back up generator.

I think it's more the location than the building, sadly.

I'm an idiot; not a fucking idiot.

I feel bad about myself now. Because this is so something I would do ..in fact have frequently done only with the boiler ...

I felt so proud when i actually found the outside switch for the first time a few years ago. :-/
