Palisades homes ‘too toxic’ to clear in phase 1, Army Corps to help in phase 2

Phase1 = create emergency. P2 will include eminent domain on all of PPalisades. CaCaLand gov’mt will seize everything and pay only for land.

This is what is being done in Maui — 600 house lots will not be allowed to rebuild.
This scam is patterned after Aussie gov’mt — homes too expensive by gov’mt regs and politicos own the resulting apartments.

Personal property is not allowed in a communist society — haven’t you noticed?

Maybe Botox is toxic.

How could all these mansions be so toxic?

Girl Scout cookies

[Toespi]

Furniture, plastics, carpeting, insulation, fiberglass, garage items, etc, etc, etc. but probably the most toxic of all, Hollywood and California women’s cosmetic drawers.

[Huskrrrr]

As a Camp Fire survivor, I can attest to the toxic waste that is left behind by burnt building materials.

The EPA California says just about everything causes cancer.

Hmmmmm? Mansions? Pretty sure a lot of them are not mansions. A million dollar home in the LA basin ain’t gonna be a mansion in most cases. Some of those places may have been 30-40 years old.

At the end of the link is a list of the "bad stuff" they were looking for.

You're telling ma someone couldn't hire someone to clean up their property? It had to be the government?

[shotgun]

My guess would be asbestos and lead. Fertilizer and other chemicals stored in the homes would have burnt but may have left some residue. But hardly in enough quantity that would condem the whole site as toxic.

[KarlInOhio]

Lots and lots of asbestos. Even in things like floor tiles and drywall tape.

[Rummyfan]

What are the sources of all this toxicity? It was mostly residences that were destroyed yes?

[MinorityRepublican]

Except I’m betting only a handful remained on site and the rest were driven away. How do you think the majority of the people got out??

If you own multiple vehicles during a natural disaster, you're not going to evacuate in your EV.

How could all these mansions be so toxic?

The burning byproducts of the inks on all that money?

"How could all these mansions be so toxic?" .

They removed 80 EVs...out of 10,000 households.

[Carry_Okie]

How could all these mansions be so toxic?

Partially combusted plastics.

Heavy metals (such as lead from solders).

Lots of loose fiberglass (shards could be injurious to wildlife)

That's enough to start. It would be a lot. The sad part is that it is likely more will be rinsed into the ocean if they delay than if they get to it.

[cgbg]

Yup—and many of the folks in Pacific Palisades could afford the newer electric vehicles—they were status symbols.

I have doubts about this story too. Sounds like Gavin and his friends at FEMA are just trying to shift the burden.
