Palisades homeowners, you finally back home?

It’s been over a year and less than 12 homes have been rebuilt. They were told less regulation for a speeding rebuild. Nothing has changed with the red tape.
Most of the residents have given up. And the dumbest, most soulless empty suit wants to be President.

The problems are not necessarily on Newsom on all of this. The homeowner insurance market out there is broken. The homeowners in PP and Altadena are underinsured and there was a large enough pool of uninsured homeowners as well. Permits issued for the fire zones are coming in less than 100 days which for California is very fast when you consider the average time for permits for builds or new construction usually take anywhere from 8 to 24 months.
A lot of the problems have their Genesis back in the late 80s and Prop 13.

Is this supposed to be a defense of Cali's bureaucracy? 100 days is not "very fast", it's shite.

This is Trump's problem.

All we heard at the beginning was the insurance companies were difficult and delaying payment. Now these idiots have to deal with those lying politicians. Spencer Pratt has been on top of this, and good on him.

quote:Chicken and egg thing though. Was it broken because the insurance commissioners made draconian rules that insurance companies couldn't handle? No, it was policies by the tree huggers like Newscum that didn't properly care for the water system and refused to use accepted methods of control burns and such to prevent large hot fires like this. And it's not like the Santa Anna winds is a new thing. Insurance companies realized this and pulled out when rate increased weren't allowed. This whole thing is on the Democrats - but the homeowners voted for the crap. So, tough titty!

Average permit time is actually 2 months.

California does not believe in controlled burning, so the dry brush sits there like a powder keg. It's the enviri-wacko lobby.

No doubt, bad policies are to blame, but these policies go back 40 years and cover multiple administrations both Republican and Democrat. From George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson through Gray Davis, Schwarzenegger, Brown and now into Newsom. The real problem comes in the State Assembly. The power in the Assembly is dominated by people from the Bay area who are the real tree huggers.
Northern California Democrats make LA area Democrats look almost like Republicans.
Also, the cost of materials used to rebuild to the new fire codes is getting ridiculous. Couple that with the problems on insurance payouts and usual bureaucratic b.s. and it's no wonder. Cali Codes have to take into consideration both fire and earthquake considerations with insurance as well.....along with the stupid law that the assembly won't do away with. Newsom or a Republican could support repeal and the Assembly would just not vote on it and there are enough that if it went a statewide initiative it would fail because part of the problem is that you would have to also repeal Prop 13. Chicken and egg , indeed .

If you're actually in NZ, you should warn people you've been drinking before 7AM US time.
Nobody has mentioned the coastal commission, increased building requirements from what was previously existing adding millions to just foundation costs, etc. But yeah, State Farm (of which I am no fan) is the problem. Huge chunks of the Palisades and Malibu could rebuild their old houses, as they were, with cash. Yet they can't, because the city essentially doesn't want them to.
Carolla has a long running vlog since the fires.
