Hard to believe that Ronald Reagan won elections by landslides in the 60's and 70's as governor.
On the bright side, this might spell the end of Hollywood.
What a stupidly obvious observation.
if these people were serious about saving the environment they wouldn’t rebuild on the ever changing sands of ocean front property...
This is a red flag that Pacific Palisades will be used to HOUSE ILLEGALS IN MASSIVE APARTMENT COMPLEXES, ensuring MORE DemonRat voters to keep the EVIL RAT SCUM in power.
Might as well RENAME 'Pacific Palisades' to 'EMPALIZADAS DEL PACIFICO' because THATS'S the only name its NEW residents will understand.
This should not have happened in a first-world country, where the citizenry pays some of the highest property taxes.
Very sad.
Homes will be rebuilt with roofs of metal or clay tiles, slate, or concrete tiles. Walls will be of fire resistant materials like stucco (without the straw), cinder block, brick—etc.
For one thing, you can bet they’ll be rezoning a lot of it for multi-family apartments.
CA will never let it be the same.
Very.
That was before governors blanketed the countryside with ballots ... that anyone could fill out and send in. Like anyone verifies signatures in election offices.
That was before ballot harvesting where third parties can helpfully offer to take your ballot to the elections office (and likewise trash it if it doesn't have their preferred candidates selected.)
That was before the schools had completely stupidified the populace and convinced them their country sucked.
The country I'm living in now is worlds away different than the one I grew up in.
Voting against one’s own self interest is the hallmark of the leftist imbecile.
Look to Paradise, Ca hit by a massive fire years ago. Population was 26,000, now about 4,600. A large part of it was trailers and double-wides. Google Earth it and you will see burned out remnants and little else.
That’s right because the democrats will replace all those homes with something they want instead, whether it’s apartment complexes, Section 8 housing, or their own mansions.
High rises here we come, one lot housing 3-5 people, will now incorporate 4-5 lots to make a high rise the can house up to maybe 209-300 condos the will goo for $1M + each.
LOOK AT THE GOOD SIDE OF IT! The Smelt fish are doing well now the reservoirs and dams once used for fire suppression, have been destroyed and drained. and the brush allowed to grow for nesting birds and ground animals so the Greenies could go out and commune with Mother Nature and stop cleanups to protect rare plants!
Now Mother Nature has bit them in the butt big time. As an old advertisement used to say...”It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!”
Lovely piece, so sad. Thanks for posting this! I love Free Republic, there is a lot of nonsense here, but you also get to read the widest variety of great stuff anywhere.
Watch developers buy up the land and put up high density housing.
Today we have inferior building materials. And Inferior contractor skill. And a lot less of all of it. And materials cost so much more. Any homes that are rebuilt will never be at the same level.
It is hard to imagine having to go through the terrible, horrific situation of losing everything you have worked so hard for. Devastating. How do you even encourage someone who lost everything?
