But now, the tents have been gone for five weeks with no signs of returning. "It's so much safer without the tents.

Thousands of southern Californians live in or near the hills, where floods, mudslides, and fires are not uncommon. @NBCLA I-Team uncovers how the city of @LACity could have possibly prevented two recent mudslides that damaged homes and threatened lives. https://t.co/idNbjX4gik
