It’s going to be pretty disgusting watching these grifters recreate the housing crisis, millionaire fire traps, environmental destruction, car dependency, real estate profiteering, etc.
The exemptions come after Palisades residents, along with their city councilmember, Traci Park, pushed state and local leaders to cancel the application of SB 9 in their neighborhood.
They said increased population would make evacuations even more difficult during emergencies, and multi-family buildings would threaten the neighborhood’s “quiet, low-density” character.
Riiight.
Preserving the character of a neighborhood has always meant keeping it white.
gotta keep out them poors. and by poors i mean everyone making under $1m/year.
if the lots could be split and duplexed, that might allow those that make ~$250k per year to move in.
It’s true that the avenues of escape are limited, and you don’t want to create a situation like Paradise in the Camp Fire where so many people died because the roads were too jammed to escape. But it seems like there are other ways to solve that problem, maybe an automatic emergency system for the traffic lights on PCH and Sunset, or even signage that would convert all but one lane to the same escape direction.
What is with people loving to rebuild in disaster zones
Cheap real-estate in an area once occupied by high value or high demand properties. Whats there to not understand? Its easy money and no one really cares about the lives lost once enough time has passed.
Fuck nimbys. High density housing saved them when they were homeless
Fuck you, Karen.
Don’t the palisades burn every few years now? Insurance is going to leave next time.
