Not sure how much people expected to be done 6 months after this. The insurance process alone would take months. As he said most of those houses on the coast he was showing were second homes, so yes some people may not be moving a breakneck speed.
This post shows a complete ignorance of that area. These are not people who "wait for the insurance."

Some of these people have 9 figure wealth. Most all have 8 figures in Malibu and adjacent areas. They will rebuild with cash and self insure
But the city and coastal commision wont give them building permits

Don't they all believe in Global Warming and rising seas?
Who would re-build there?
Would be interesting to hear from the property owners to hear their stories - is it insurance, the city/state, construction schedules/availability, or just hesitant to build or just in no hurry...

Carolla seems pretty level headed although he's tight with nut job Jimmy Kimmel .
I listen to his podcast frequently, he for sure thinks Karen Bass and Newsome are both idiots.

I'd be interested in seeing California's homeowner's insurance rates (in proportion to property values) compared to Louisiana's. Louisiana has been absolutely raped following Ida. The insurance industry acts as though we're hit by category 5 hurricanes every year. They have earthquakes, yearly fires, the possibility of tsunamis, and riots.

Again, these are NOT people who are concerned about insurance. Stop making excuses for bad governance.

They're worse than Louisiana's, but for the same reason: government intervention forcing insurance companies out over the unreasonable amount of risk they must take on.

Really going out on a limb there

I don't think there are many high populated areas directly on the coast anywhere in the country where you would be able to just immediately start rebuilding.
Not all of those people don't care about insurance. While there are some who don't if they had it I am sure they are waiting for some type of payout considering how considerable it maybe.

Adam had a weird looking gait walking on the beach. Looked like a movie villain or elderly man with the hunched back and arms out to his side.
Kinda looked like Gru

But this is one. Trump cleared any and all federal permits immediately after the fires. The state is holding those people hostage.

This refutes literally nothing about the premise of this thread or what anyone else is saying here.
In fact, California is threatening to fine people for not having already started rebuilding after California held up those efforts so they could perform environmental reviews.

He has to be in his 60s now. He's not spring chicken.

Carolla is not a hypocrite like Kimmel. Carolla is smart, funny and has common sense.

Karen Bass promised Trump she would fast track permits. Lying POS.

If you want to really go down the LA Fire rabbit hole, go find Spencer Pratt’s socials. Dude has launched an all out assault on Newsome.

A whole lot of them are just extremely ignorant and don't pay attention to anything. Example: a friend was going on and on that republicans were violent and get mad when they don't get what they want; he pointed to Jan 6. When I brought up the BLM riots, he had never even heard of them. Floored me.
Their media creates a strong bubble around them. I took several trips to Cali dem strongholds during covid. Many saw my LSU shirt, and I mean almost every place I stopped to eat and drink if I was wearing one, and ask me about firearms. I would bring up the reports we see and they would be clueless to them. They were shocked to hear that people think they are batshit crazy outside of their state

The OP brought up who California votes for. That's political.
But since we're here, I mentioned it being an extremely progressive area because it's the government they voted for that has them in bureaucratic red tape hell. It's no different than a rural, deep red area having poorly built homes because there's no local code to hold contractor's responsible.
That said, there's only so many negative outcomes you can give of deep red local government examples as opposed to deep blue, big government shitholes. As far as federal policy goes, none are small government and far right enough for people like me, which obviously means that democrat policy at the federal level circa 2025 is a direct affront to my worldview and way of life.
That stuff doesn't matter to sports stat bros like yourself who glaze grown arse men who don't know your name, but to men who make the world go around and who pay your taxes under the threat of jail and wage garnishment, it's far more important to us.
You dumbass "centrists" are all the same on this site. You're not unique. I assure you, you're not flying under anyone's radar - you stick out like a sore thumb.
Now wander back over to the fantasy football thread and wax poetic about some obscure quarterback's completion percentage with the other drooling smooth brains.
