Just wait until these folks apply for permits to rebuild, think there’s anger now. All kinds of surprises lay in wait...artificially high setbacks, wetland restrictions, new construction runoff controls and rain taxes, impact fees, etc.
The enviro-nazis will respond that you shouldn’t have built a home there in the first place, and they will try to block rebuilding. To them, everyone needs to be living in some godawful urban highrise.
Rain taxes? Can you explaine that to me? Do you get taxed if it rains, or do you get taxed if it doesn’t rain?
In Malibu since the coastal commission virtually shut down remodeling private homes, homeowners now burn their house down instead of contracting a knockdown in order to upgrade their home. A firefighter from the area once told me that except for the big wildfires, almost all fires in Malibu are arson. The same coastal commission has denied permission for the firehouse to install a clothes washing machine, so the heroes have to drag their firewear down to coin laundry’s in Santa Monica, imagine that!. sewer problems etc. Of course it just fine to allow tons of horse poop run down into the ocean...ahh the limo liberals...
Bingo. It's just beginning. It will be especially interesting to see what they'll do to those with their houses still intact. My guess is that they'll try to stop any cutting of standing burned timber.
