Los Angeles Has Issued ONLY FOUR Permits to Rebuild Houses Months After California Wildfires Burned 6,000+ Homes

Unbelievable. Why do people vote for this poison?

Wall Street Apes: This is mind blowing: Experts say it’ll take between 20-40 years to rebuild Los Angeles — It’s because of their regulations. In LA you need not only a building permit, but a

– Grading permit
– Foundation permit
– Electrical permit
– Plumbing permit
– Mechanical permit
– A demolition permit
– An encroachment permit
– The fire department needs to give you a permit
– If you have a septic tank, you need a permit for that
– You need a water and sewer connection permit
– You have to have an energy compliance permit
– An environmental permit
– Zoning permits
– Of course, if you remove any trees, you’re gonna need a tree removal permit
– If you put solar panels, you need a solar panel permit
– You need any kind of specialty permits for swimming pools or retaining walls

and of course, you’re gonna need your certificate of occupancy”

This is absolutely INSANE. Are we sure this is still the ‘Land of the Free?’

It’s been 75 days since the Los Angeles wildfires broke out and despite Karen Bass vowing to streamline the recovery process and spending 10 million taxpayer dollars on a consulting firm, ONLY FOUR PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED to rebuild in the Pacific Palisades. pic.twitter.com/yc7aCBwq6e

National Review: Back in January 13, Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass “issued a sweeping Executive Order to clear the way for Los Angeles residents to rapidly rebuild the homes they lost in the ongoing firestorm and lays the foundation for businesses to plan their rebuild. She also updated the local emergency declaration to account for the firestorm’s devastation and to accelerate the city’s recovery and rebuilding.” Terms like “rapidly” and “accelerate” sound impressive, but you will probably not be shocked to learn that the city government’s concept of “rapidly” is only fast when compared to glaciers. As of Monday, March 24, 75 days after the fire, the city had issued . . . four permits for homeowners to rebuild their properties. Not forty. Not fourteen. Four (National Review). ABC7: Residents in the Palisades Fire zone are trying to figure out how to move forward, but there are several obstacles in the way — including the city’s permitting process and L.A.’s looming budget deficit (ABC7).
