Los Angelinos who lost everything in the deadly fires are still being prevented from visiting their homes without a police escort, new video shows - despite the city's mayor claiming last week that rebuilding could begin 'right away'.
Dave Harvilicz, 50, a resident from the ritzy Pacific Palisades enclave which was among the worst-hit areas, filmed himself speaking with US Army personnel who were still blocking access to his street on Saturday.
According to official interactive maps, the ongoing Palisades Fire has likely obliterated the California businessman's $4 million four-bedroom, three-bath property to the ground - but he's still not even been granted access to see it.
'I haven't been able to get to the house since January 7th. It's January 25th. President Trump said we could go now - what's going on?' Harvilicz asked the US Army troop in a video he shared on X.
'I'm not too sure sir,' the soldier replied. 'Unfortunately with us we play by ear. With LAPD, they talk to our command and then our command tells us what LAPD says.'
Harvilicz pushed for more answers in the video, prompting the soldier to tell him he needs a police escort - a process which could take several hours.
It followed Friday night assurances from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass that residents would be able to start rebuilding 'right away' during a press conference where President Donald Trump scolded her about bureaucracy.
When pressed by residents about when they could start rebuilding, she said the city was doing 'everything we can – slashing regulations, expediting everything, so that people can begin the process right away', according to the New York Post.

He called her on it, and all she could do is smile. And lie.

Bass&Newscum cannot allow folks to move back—that will slow their plan to rezone to apartments. barren land will be seized under eminent domain and the politicos will own the apts.

she’s one who likes to control others...typical leftist
Karen B ASS....
Trump did forget to say that when the rains come...lots of the toxic crap would wash into the ocean...if they don’t start cleaning the area immediately.
Even toxic crap can be incinerated and go "UP" in smoke.
OR, it'll wash into the ocean where it will be diluted into nothing.
If the guy has a licence or any proof saying he lives at that address he should be able to go there anytime he wants!
You might also bet that the soil will be designated as toxic and disturbing it will cause toxins to be released into the atmosphere.
The democrats will slow walk everything.
They do not want to have Trump get credit for anything positive.
