Despicable woman who cannot manage getting out of a paper bag. Like all communists she is all ideology. Actually getting something done that's another matter.

Embattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass made her big play this week to rebuild Pacific Palisades in her own image. Needless to say, it won't be pretty.
...
Bass announced that the city plans to hire "an outside consultant to handle a significant rebuilding contract for areas devastated by this month’s Palisades fire,"
...
Pacific Palisades residents were not so much as consulted on the decision. "Locals have had virtually no input into any of the decisions currently being made by city and state officials .. Most were only able to access their property for the first time on Monday, after direct intervention by President Donald Trump."
Um… is that how representation works? When the mayor and her philanthropist pal Soboroff pick the firm that will make all the decisions?
...
In other words: this is going to take some time. Rather than a relatively simple process of homeowners filing their insurance claims and rebuilding once the money and the permits come through, big-name consultants will spend big money on big-name contractors to give the Palisades a big government makeover.
....
With homeowners locked out of the process and without any oversight, Bass will pursue her dream of rebuilding the Palisades "in a more equitable and environmentally sustainable way," as she put it. I'm picturing government-spec apartment buildings and other multifamily dwellings on burned-out lots where single-family homes used to stand. Those 15-minute cities don't build themselves, you know — mostly because, given the choice, people reject them.

I hope she plans on doing it without federal funding.
The losses are covered by insurance Eventually the insurance money will start dribbling out and the homes will be rebuilt.
No need for the city to have this level of involvement.
Didn’t take long, did it?
Oh and she said she would cut red tape.
Like the red tape to consult with the property owners?
She probably means she will get some red cloth and cut it up into streamers, like tape, embossed with yellow stars and siclkes, and fly them all around the area.
turning the tables o trump and turning to china for help?
Do you know why she's always sporting that bat sh*t eating grin? It's because she knows she has bazillions of taxpayer dollars coming straight at her.
Cuba loving commie.
CA will avoid all of this troublesome private property nonsense and rename the area and give it new zip codes. Problem solved.
Hello, Cuba By The Pacific.
She doesn’t deserve one cent of federal funding.
Let’s just deport her to Cuba then.
Oops! Forgot the /s.
Democrats got hammered in the last election but they’re still as arrogant as ever.
Rick Grenell will see to thst
If she continues against some of the richest homeowners in the country, she will have to worry about bigger things than her job.
Has Rick gotten an update about the plan ‘karen’ has laid out?
Angelenos elected her new they have to live with her. Good luck. Of course they can always vote with their feet.
I dunno but it was a stroke of genius by DJT to have him to keep an eye on what’s going on out there.
