LOS ANGELES — Mayor Karen Bass is catching heat for her claims that new homes are springing up across the Pacific Palisades just months after wildfires leveled the neighborhood.

“Karen Bass is full of crap,” Pacific Palisades resident Sara Trepanier, a physician and single mom of four who lost her home to the devastating blaze in January, told The Post Tuesday.

Trepanier’s candid words come just a day after Bass proclaimed on X that “homes are under construction throughout the Palisades,” lauding her efforts to “cut red tape” on building permits and “get families home.”

A few months back, Bass said she set up a “one-stop shop” where homeowners could get all the permits they needed to rebuild. There were TWELVE separate permits needed! What good is a “one-stop shop” if you have to visit TWELVE stations in that shop?

Wow.

I really wonder if this was a land grab. I just read the fires in Maui were deliberately set for just that purpose.

Seriously Captain, do you really think it's meaningful to bash President Trump in every comment you make? Even when it's completely unrelated, like this? What in heaven's name does the POTUS have to do with the Mayor of LA?

Take your meds and get some sleep.

Pres. Trump asked he to cut through the red tape and give the permits up. She didn’t agree to do it. She waffled and word saladed but didn’t agree to anything.

Well...it would be better than going to twelve different offices all over the city.
Bass is WAY OVER HER HEAD...all she does is coo and say words...she is from the party that guarantees money to renters and business partners of the corrupt city. An empty soul or humanoid (whatever one believes about human worth).
Just another clump of malfunctioning cells...an abacus could outthink her.

No worries. Curiously, the regular links are now in place and correct. I suppose the AdminMod fixed it up.

This is what passes as cogent thought when a pea brain is infected with TDS.

Even if she wanted to, Bass and the LA city government are too incompetent to “pull out all the stops” to rebuild. Keep voting for politicians like Bass and this is what you get.

In theory if the LA Mayor was super high IQ, highly motivated and fanatical in her mission to honor her promises to the homeowners she might make significant progress.

In fact she is a blithering DEI idiot and an ideological Marxist who hates homeowners and wants them to suffer.

“The first positive annulment of private property – crude communism – is thus merely a manifestation of the vileness of private property”

You are OK with them walking free, despite their CLEAR criminal incompetence , or even worse, INTENTIONAL destruction of property through geo engineering (as discussed on the rumble/YT show Redacted last week/May 25) ? All for the Olympics in 2028 and the Smart city agenda for 2030?
