Though the home Kamala shares with husband Emhoff is in the Brentwood, CA, evacuation area, she apparently has 2 other homes on her name only, and currently resides courtesy of taxpayers at the VP residence on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory.

 

Vice President's Residence, U.S. Naval Observatory, Washington D.C.

The Vice President’s residence at Number One Observatory Circle.

 

Historically, VPs lived in their own homes, but as it became increasingly difficult and expensive to secure private houses, there came a need to establish an official residence for the vice president. In 1974, the house at Number One Observatory Circle was authorized by Congress to be refurbished and transformed into the official home—three years later, Walter Mondale became the first veep to move in.

 

The house is located on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory, one of America's oldest scientific agencies, and was originally built in the late 19th century for the USNO's superintendent (in 1923, the chief of naval operations took the home for himself because he liked it so much). Designed in the Queen Anne style (characterized by asymmetrical floor plans, round turret rooms, and extensive wraparound verandas), the three-story home is sprawled out over 9,150 square feet on 12 acres of land. There is plenty of space for entertaining dignitaries—during his 8 years as VP, George H.W. Bush hosted 900 parties at the residence—but unlike the White House, Number One Observatory Circle isn't open for public tours.

 

All former vice presidents have put their own personal touch to the property and Harris will likely do the same. Bush installed a horseshoe pit and jogging track on the grounds, Dan Quayle added a swimming pool, and the Pences put in a beehive. But perhaps the most significant addition came from Dick Cheney, who is widely believed to have built an underground bunker after 9/11.

 

Los Angeles, California

 

Kamala Harris and husband Douglas Emhoff’s home is in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

 

In 2012 Harris's lawyer husband Emhoff bought this 3,500-square-foot house in the posh Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, where celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and LeBron James own multimillion-dollar mansions. Two years later, he married Harris and soon aftertransferred the home to a joint trust bearing both their initials. The property has four bedrooms and a pool, and is located ten minutes from the Getty Center. It had to be evacuated last fall due to the Getty Fire, which burned 745 acres in the area, but Harris's home didn't suffer any damages. According to Zillow, the house is nowworth $5 million.

In2017, the year she was elected to the Senate,Harris paid $1.775 million for a two-bedroom, 1,700-square-foot apartment in the nation's capital [likely worth much more now]. The 71-unit LEED-certified Westlight complex has a prime location in Washington's West End, with Georgetown on one side, Dupont Circle on the other, and the White House just a mile away. It's also amenity-rich, with a rooftop pool, fitness center, housekeeping, and a 24-hour concierge.

 

San Francisco, California

 

San Francisco

 

In 2004, when she became San Francisco's first Black attorney general, Harris bought a condo in town for$489,000. Its value has nearly doubled since then, according to a Zillow estimate. The 1,000-square-foot loft is located in the city's SoMa (South of Market) neighborhood, home to SF MoMA and the headquarters of several tech companies, including Uber, Airbnb, and Salesforce.

Firefighters from Mexico, Canada, and medium security prisons deployed against Los Angeles "wild" fires.

 

Thus NewsNation report doesn't mention the National Guard, but they are there on the ground and in the air as well.

Sauce for military assets fighting the Los Angeles fires:

 

"Military aircraft and technology are being deployed to assist the California National Guard and state firefighters as Los Angeles wildfires continue to rage and thousands flee their homes, but the current smoke and wind conditions are hindering more significant military support, according to the Pentagon.

 

"Ten Navy helicopters equipped with water delivery buckets were being sent to assist with the firefighting efforts, Sabrina Singh, a Pentagon spokesperson, told reporters Wednesday afternoon. Additionally, four military Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System units technology that can turn large C-130 Hercules airplanes into firefighting aircraft without major modifications can be used if needed.

 

"LA has been gripped for days by the worst fires in the city's history, which have been made more intense by seasonal winds. The blazes have killed at least five people, destroyed thousands of structures and triggered evacuation orders for 180,000 people, according to The Associated Press.

 

"Singh added that the Department of Defense couldn't immediately provide more assets due to the environmental conditions caused by the fires.

 

"We can surge assets, and the president has directed this department to bolster whatever California needs. But we have to work with California, and right now we can't even get assets up in the air because the fires are so bad and the winds are so bad," Singh said.

 

"This week, a fire started in Pacific Palisades, an area of LA, and began to spread quickly. As of Thursday, California residents were under evacuation orders amid four other fires that have also sprung up in the region, scorching nearly 30,000 acres combined, according to CNN.

 

"Upward of 600 California National Guardsmen were deployed on state orders to assist firefighters and law enforcement with the blazes, California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said in a statement.

 

"California National Guard assets include 10 rotary-wing aircraft, two C-130 airplanes and a total of 10 handcrews to help firefighters, as well as military police.

 

"We are putting all available resources behind fighting these wildfires, including leveraging local and federal assets," Newsom said in the statement. "California has thousands of boots on the ground working to combat these fires. The state is leaving no stone unturned to protect California communities."

 

"Two more Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System units are being readied by the Nevada National Guard to assist them, Singh said Wednesday."

Governor Gavin Newsom today announced he has increased California National Guard personnel activated to support Los Angeles responders to 1,680 service members — doubling the CalGuard boots on the ground.
