We have a similar version here, Pensacola to Panama City.
But their power is limited to the beaches and barrier islands.
They have no power to affect building away from the beaches............
I was in San Jose during the Oakland Hills fire.
It was shocking but LA is MUCH worse.
Have to agree somewhat - the ‘Coastal Commission’ he rants about will look at this as an opportunity to ‘cleanse’ the area, by only allowing the ‘right people’ to rebuild.
James Woods will need to start looking at property in Costa Rica if he wants a Pacific view.
This was fantastic. “We can’t have nine angry lesbians controlling everything that goes on in Malibu, the Palisades and Santa Monica.” HA!
I’m guessing the rich elitists won’t have any trouble pulling the permits they need.
Maybe they shouldn’t be.
Meaning, any house rebuilt on Sanibel should be built on concrete/rebar reinforced pilings.
Then they should have hurricane glass.
Then they should have 3/4” concrete shingles capable of withstanding 160 mph winds.
Then they should have metal shutters on all windows.
Lastly, IF they choose to rebuild there they should NOT get US subsidized Federal Flood Insurance. They are choosing to rebuild in a hurricane zone. Where it is very likely to be hit again sometime in the future. It is just a matter of when. Why should the US tax payer subsidize the replacement of someones multimillion dollar beach house?
“Nine Angry Lesbians”........would make a great title for a movie............
I think it's the Stephens Kangaroo Rat. I have also read that there's some species of butterfly whose habitat may not be disturbed.
Ideology trumps (pun) finance.
They will be either outright denied or made to jump through so many hoops and regulatory restraints that they will eventually just give up and go away..............
B1 Bob was congressman for a district down in Orange county If I recall
It used to happen every 4 or 5 years. LA is the desert. Lots of dried out brush and grass, add dry winds, and it only takes 1 spark. The native plants are evolved for it, it’s a place that really is supposed to burn. So when it doesn’t for a while it’s even worse.
I vehemently opposed the referendum that established the Coastal Commission in 1972. Although California voted Red in that election, the year of the Nixon landslide, the Coastal Commission passed. Even conservatives told me they voted to establish it because they "liked to go to the beach." I knew that down the road, those beach-lovers would be sorry for adding another layer of government regulatory bureaucracy.
$50 B - now imagine the number when The Big One hits; you have to imagine it because numbers don’t go that high.
Now imagine this same crew of wardheelers being in charge when it happens.
I was tempted to respond with agreement on reading #10.
Now I must!
You can’t fix what ails the left. They know what they know. Only observers from the outside are able to see beyond what they don’t know. They think with hearts and emotion, even when factual reality is trying to slap some sense into them.
Bob Dornan was first elected to Congress in 1976 from a district that stretched along Santa Monica Bay from Palos Verdes to Malibu. After the 1980 census, district boundaries were moved inland so as to turn it Blue, so Dornan moved to Orange County.
EPIC!
Exactly.
Leftism is not a political identity. It’s a religion. This is their cult. Nothing can dissuade leftoids from their worship of Woke.
Nothing.
are the tank trapping and closing of access roads
and abandonment of fuels reduction measures under the lefts rewilding and critter habitat
“ protection”
and the commie alynsky goal of total collapse.
eco natzies are solely to blame for ALL of this
jmho .
Their corruption would kick into high gear and all that wealth would be siphoned off into Democrap coffers in The Seychelles.............
