Pacific Palisades fires: it's being reported that only four -- repeat, four -- permits have been issued by Los Angeles after the first destroyed more than 7,000 homes. This is perhaps as good a story as any on the status of the "re-buid": link here.
It appears the permits that were issued were limited in scope. Unless I missed it, the source for this story did not provide the denominator: how many permit requests have been made, and how many have been rejected, with the remainder supposedly under review.
It appears the county is more interested in waiting the results of a consultant's report regarding the fires.
My hunch is the city is requiring "McMansions" and larger structures to be re-built on the lots and not any "starter" homes.
It might behoove homeowners to "build" group-chat / website to where permits could be posted, along with updates of the permitting process. My hunch: the first100 such permits posted will tell us exactly what's going on. The White House and FEMA, HUD, and other federal and state government agencies need to be part of that website.
