#1 Adam Carolla predicted this at the time of the fire. Nothing to do with Trump.

#4 ^ These little control-freak Democrats and bureaucrats are relishing the opportunity to dictate rebuilding plans. I.E: smaller building footprints with less parking, electric only (no natural gas hookups), EV charging outlets, ....

#6 Strictly blame casting.

Didn't I hear something about no permit issued until lot is cleared?

And IIUC, no FEMA loans until the damaged property is removed. Yes, that is backwards, but has always been that way, probably because concern people will take the money and split town? Don't know, but that's what they sound like, give us the money and pomiseez it will all (snicker) go to the victims.

So it sounds to me like the bottleneck is scraping the property due to traffic and disposal regulations, which is Ghana Bass and Gov Grease'em, who could suspend said regulations and provide a state backed loan to those who have filed intent to rebuild, who could use that money to clean the property, and transfer the now accessed FEMA loan to the state backed loan.

But they haven't. Because they are twats. It's not that the administration hates California, it's that it hates them.

#7 Somewhere inside the democrat power centers of SoCal, there is a clear understanding that a drawn out process will make thousands of property owners sell their burned-out homes for far less than they are worth to get out from under mortgages and tax/mechanics liens while they pay for temporary housing that is bankrupting them. There is a lot of money to be made and spreading around incentives to bureaucrats, witting or not, helps make that possible.

#8 So they're pretty much inviting Trump to take over the permitting process? Fine with me.
