DEI: LA Mayor Karen Bass is hiring an ‘outside consultant’ to rebuild the Pacific Palisades in a more equitable and environmentally sustainable way. She intends to award the contract without authorization from the property owners.

...

CORRUPTION: California updated the law to allow Mayors like Karen Bass to take contributions from contractors and consultants to the city if they are award via competitive bid starting on Jan 1, 2025. This exemption is significant because it means that vendors winning contracts through competitive bids can still donate to political campaigns of officials overseeing the contract process—potentially leaving room for continued influence through contributions.

...

So do the homeowners no longer own their property? Have homeowners lost their rights to their own property? If so, I guess we’ve now got a clean sweep knocking out every last one of our Unalienable Rights! Way to go

...

a blatant state takeover of private property rights, in this case of wealthy property owners, it makes you wonder who started the fires.

...

How very convenient. The timing is not lost on we the people. Insurance cancellations.. Empty hydrants and reservoirs .. Mayor vacations on Ghana on tax payer dime.. Fires begin… Permits abuse.. Now land grab and construction corruption…

...

They didn't burn it down for no reason. They intend to have LA area become a "sustainable city". They work for WEF not for Californians.

...

So... they passed a law to get what they want in case of a fire.. right before devestating fires. That's not suspicious at all.

...

2028 Olympics

...

Pay to play in the open.

...

2021/22/23/24: LA area has above-average rainfall but it is diverted to the ocean.

2024: LA Reservoir feeding fire hydrants was empty.

2024: LA home insurance companies drop coverage.

2025: Levine Act become law on Jan 1.

2025: LA wildfires begin Jan 7.

Did I miss anything?.

She has learned absolutely nothing from these experiences. She is a shining example of DEI.

Watch as the barriers go higher for individual property owners and become non-existent for those wanting to build apartments and “communities”. That Coastal Commission especially - evil.

President Trump knows something about the construction industry, maybe he will toss out a few ideas...

Under communism, individuals do not own property. All property belongs to the state.

Ok, how can she compel an owner to rebuild in some urban renewal low cost housing model. I know they can make rules for someone developing a new project. I know they can specify different fire codes maybe. But how the hell can she order existing landowners to use their insurance money to build something for social reasons like 15 minute cities or low cost housing?

LA county Law has it in place that you must build “Low income housing” when rebuilding, so guess what, they are gonna turn the palisades into a slum, that is what they call “Re-imagining” the Palisades

So she will sole source award the contract to a fat cat campaign donor and rake off a % as “campaign donations”

This is what you get when you vote stupid Americans.

I don’t see how this is “DEI”. It was presumably the plan, above her level, all along.

Karen Bass has decided that Pacific Palisades will be built by an “outside consultant.

Some Soviet style high rise concrete buildings would look real good there. Also set aside some land for wind turbines & a solar farm. We need to get going on those 15 minute cities!

You know, just an observation. NOT a threat to any watching eyes. But there have probably been 20,000 drive-bys and murders in Los Angeles county since 1990.

How do tyrants doing such a massive theft escape such a fate?
Especially when they are screwing with very rich people.
And also that is the world standard, so to speak.

Amazing.
