Is NOT right, and seems to be 'typical' of Commiefornia...
When dreamy, beach-adjacent Pacific Palisades became a moonscape after the conflagration that started on Jan. 7, 2025, homes worth billions of dollars, lifetime bodies of work by musicians and artists, and prized real estate in one of the best areas of L.A. became dust. Many fire victims want to rebuild and reclaim their old community. However, it didn't take long before the state and local leaders who had promised to move mountains to streamline the rebuilding process began to have other ideas. Instead of receiving help from Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom, they and state Democrats dragged out the permitting. And now it appears we know why.
The Palisades and Altadena fires left 15,000 structures in cinders and thousands of people without homes.
Now, using lack of housing in the state as an excuse, Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA planners are considering instituting planning changes that would play the Palisades like a game of Tetris, placing hundreds of units of low-income housing in areas where previously there had been two.

Why does this NOT surprise me? Just like their 'two week' approvals to rebuild are apparently taking up to two months!!!
And I'm betting they will not pay what the people want for the land. Any bets on them doing eminent domain when they don't get what they want? And prime properties with 'views' for 'selected' contractors...
Not that this is anything new...
Grrr...
These people should have known better. They live in a socialist country. This is what you have to expect. If they had any balls, they'd be throwing a junta right now and taking over. After all - they can afford to hire the best.
California is a great idea with crappy implementation. When I was stationed there in the 60s it was paradise. Then the Democrats took over and brought Mao and Lenin with them. It's been downhill ever since. Those affluent folks who are being screwed by the government are just the latest is a long list. Farmers in the Central Valley are a good example. They're farming desert land to save a fish in San Francisco Bay. LA is built in a desert, and now it looks like it will go back to being one.
