As Pacific Palisades and Altadena begin recovery from the January wildfires which burned thousands of homes and businesses to the ground, remember that California Governor Gavin Newsom defensively said it was not the time to assign blame.

We will burn you out and then build Soviet style block housing
And it’s all part of the plan to make the state of California into a Marxist state and then implement that change on the rest of the country.
“...while meeting our ‘housing needs.’”
How is it that, after WW II when California was absolutely BOOMING, the builders built all the housing that the returning GIs and their young families needed? That generation never once heard about “housing needs.” The market just took care of it.
How is it that, with DECLINING population for the first time since 1849, California has to worry about “housing needs.”? Shouldn’t there be surplus housing with all the people abandoning the state?
How is it that, with the nation’s HIGHEST number of ILLEGALS (2.6 million out of 39 million people (7% of the population), we have “housing needs”? Just deport all the illegals and the problem is solved.
bttt
Maybe if th POS’s weren’t flooding the state with illegals there wouldn’t have been such a large housing crisis let alone higher demands on water, electricity and tax dollars.
“housing needs” = commie trash code for the Aussie gov’mt plan: make home owning prohibitively expensive and force everyone into rentals — OWNED BY THE POLITICOS THAT PASSED THE BILLS CREATING THIS MESS!!!!
This is what is already implemented for PPalisades. This is the retirement package for present day CaCaLand politicos.
What about the goobernator, Ahhhhhhold? He was a RINO and always sided with the Gaia worshippers,
The STATE of California requires every town to have a “housing element” in their town and city plan. Our nice, little, suburban, low-density town (with no “poor side of town”) had its most recent “housing element” rejected FIVE times. The city council and city attorney kept giving and giving and giving to the state, but they kept rejecting. Finally, the SIXTH submission was accepted after the town agreed to cave in to STATE demands. The STATE is determined to cram lots of high density, low income housing into every single town as part of your “fair share.”
The town was laid out in the 1900s and incorporated in the 1950s. The town has a gorgeous Main street and side streets. Vacancies downtown are rare. There’s on-street parking on Main Street and behind the buildings on Main Street lie two huge parking plazas. There are no tall parking structures in town. The people who laid out the town in the 50s did an excellent job.
BUT, the “housing element” forced the city to sell the beautiful parking plazas to developers who are going to fill them with high-density housing. The plan to sell off the plazas was never disclosed to citizens and the sale occurred quietly.
The STATE also told our town to discard the housing design review guidelines that assured somewhat uniformity and consistency of housing styles and designs. There used to be public hearings on proposed construction and nearby resident input was often constructive and resulted in good design changes. Now the city holds fake “hearings” and rubber stamps whatever an architect proposes. Because of the STATE, the city removed the ability of citizens to comment or have any input.
The STATE is absolutely ruining our beautiful little town.
Yet nobody ever asks “with the state population declining, do we need any more housing?”
Come on man, enough already. We have spent the last 50 years and countless tens of millions of dollars bribing politicians, judges and courts across this State to make sure California Stayed in tune with Nature, untouched by Humans as much as possible. If a few houses have to burn to keep this beautiful state in it’s natural habitat, then so be it,
The Sierra Club.
I’m so glad that at least their homes/ mansions didn’t burn down but I’m sure if they were threatened they would have pulled fire fighters actually fighting fires to come to their rescue.
BTT
Sometimes life hands you a kick in the face. We Californians who voted for feel good politicians who said the right things and made themselves rich from the public treasury—we got the kick in the pants. As Harley Qunn said “The Jokes on you!”
