project must provide at least 40% of its units for the homeless, or individuals who have spent at least 15 days in “jails, hospitals, prisons, and institutes of mental disease.”

Holy shite. In 6 months the landscaping will be trampled out, there will be people shitting in the area and drugs and gunfights will be present.

Yikes.

The regulations going in place for people to rebuild their homes are so much more convoluted and purposefully high cost. Due to these regulations and the costs, many are saying they won't be able to afford rebuilding.

---

If you're rebuilding or repairing any structure in the same footprint it existed before the fire (limited to a 10% increase in size) you can rebuild to the same standards and regulations your home/building was originally built to. Modern regulations and permitting standards have been suspended for these projects. This applies to any building permits applied for within the fire area in the next seven years.

You really should read the Executive Order and the LA city/county guidelines for rebuilding, they're not hard to find.

Except I've already seen interviews of people who are saying they won't be able to afford to rebuild due to changes being forced on them in order to rebuild on their exact plot. So, I guess the homeowners are lying?

It’s not like Elections are rigged and stolen all the time.

Pacific Palisades voted 71% for Kamala.
Pacific Palisades voted 70% NOT to recall Newsom.

Taking home a snake something, something.

They got what they voted for.

By the way in 2022 they said they had a surplus of 100 billion which turned out to be a deficit of nearly 40 billion after they squandered the "surplus" only to find they grossly overrated their tax revenue.

Their 12 billion deficit will no doubt be a 50 billion dollar error as well when they forgot about all the high earners leaving cali.

Eligible Project:
A project that meets all of the following criteria:
1. The project is to repair, restore, demolish, or replace property or facilities substantially damaged or destroyed by the Wildfires;
2. The project shall be for the same use as the last use of the structure or facility prior to the Wildfires. Without limitation, the project does not result in a change of use or an increase in primary dwelling units.
3. The project obtains building permits for repair or reconstruction no later than seven years from issuance of EO 1; and the work is completed within three years of obtaining building permits; subject to extension by a subsequent Order or Council resolution; and
4. The project involves one or more of the following:
a. Primary structures and facilities that are in substantially the same location as, and do not exceed 110% of the footprint and height of, the primary structures and facilities that existed immediately before the Wildfires;
b. Accessory structures that do not exceed 110% of the footprint and height of the accessory structures that existed immediately before the Wildfires, and that are in substantially the same location relative to the primary structure as the accessory structures that existed immediately before the Wildfires.

For properties subject to Coastal Commission Categorical Exclusion Order E-79-8, accessory structures covered by this subparagraph include accessory structures that are in substantially the same location relative to a primary residence as the accessory structures that existed immediately before the Wildfires, regardless of the size or location of the primary residence;
c. New accessory dwelling units on a residential property on which a primary residence was substantially damaged or destroyed as a result of the Wildfires, but only to the extent that such accessory dwelling units are built at least 10 feet from a canyon bluff or 25 feet from a coastal bluff; and/or d. Supportive infrastructure, including, but not limited to, foundation systems, utilities, and driveways, that is necessary to construct, install, or use the structures and facilities described in subparagraphs (a)-(c), above.

B. Eligible Project Provisions

An Eligible Project is subject to the following provisions:

Nonconforming. An Eligible Project may be replaced or rebuilt with the same nonconforming conditions as the structure that existed immediately before the Wildfires. Provisions in LAMC 12.23 may be used as applicable. However, the new or repaired structure shall not be expanded beyond 110% of the existing Building Footprint or height of the structure that existed immediately before the Wildfires.

---

This is based on Newsom's Executive Order immediately following the fires that suspended the current codes and building standards that govern new structure permitting.

Well then link them. And who’s going to insure a home that’s built in 2025, 2026 using building codes from 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago?
