Exactly - same is happening in the burn areas in So Cal - where people who were burned out of their homes cannot get building permits (after a year!) - and/or cannot afford to rebuild, didn’t have insurance, etc. - while the government drags its feet.
Yet they are still being charged property taxes as if the homes were still standing.
So, of course, the developers are moving in buying up these distressed properties for pennies on the dollar....
It was a land grab from the beginning.
Ditto for Lahaina in Hawaii.

I read soemthing the other day and not fully understand it but there was some legilsation signed by Newsom and authored by our fav Scott Weiner that allowed the gubmit to legally take those or any other homes/properties destroyed by fire or disaster and redistribute them to other entiities.
I have to find that peice of legislation to fully understand what THAT story was talking about.
