It's important to put these numbers into perspective instead of just using the shock value of "billion" — LA County has a $28 billion annual budget.

0.1% of LA county's budget next year will be repairing damage from trees.

I'm not going to argue whether that's a large or a small amount. Just want to put the $1.4B number into perspective.
