Even if you get a permit you won't be able to insure it. A mortgage without insurance will be impossible.
I’m hearing very credible reports that @GavinNewsom & developers are collaborating to change the zoning in Pacific Palisades from R1 (single family) to R1 and R3 (adding apartments).

Was told “it’s developers’ dream to pack that place with apartments.”
There you go.
Okay explain the logic to me. One way in, one way out? Okay let's put up multifamily housing to increase that traffic!OaklandAg06 said:

I don't know how credible this guy is, but I would fully expect the ruling class in CA to do everything possible to make single family re-builds in these areas next to impossible.
If you take one lot where Beyonce lives and turn it into a 250 unit apartment you solve the housing crisis. According to Gavin Newsome people live on the streets because they are down on their luck and can't afford a house, and no other reasons.aggiehawg said:Okay explain the logic to me.

I didn't go into the engineering of the idea, but I will assure you there is a way to minimize those concerns. Also, put all this devastation in one hand and some salt water on Earth and take a poll.Quote:
Common sense says salting the earth with seawater and pumping untreated saltwater into the same system that handles your drinking water isn't a great idea.
But more than that, the problem is one of flow and pressure, not the availability of water. When all the hydrants are open, there's so much open that the system can't maintain pressure. It's like trying to use one of those toys that squirts water out as you push the handle/plunger in, except instead of a restricted opening that makes the water squirt far because it's under pressure, you've got a sieve and it all just leaks out the end. You could get bigger pumps, but the entire system is still limited in flow rate by pipe size.
A couple I know in Malibu who lost their Malibu house in fires six or seven years ago had to wait 5+ years to rebuild. they were in a rental waiting for years.

If they don't disband the city permit offices and coastal commission commissars rebuilding Pacpal and Malibu will take 15-20 yrs.

Not sure I understand why they let folks build on the hills like they do
A lot of homeowners in the hills are on wells, with 5k or 10k storage tanks. That wont get very far in fighting a fire. That whole area is in the exact same boat as LA. Just look at what happened to Lost Pines 15 yrs ago.

As a point of contrast, I built a 1800SF cabin/carport and 1500SF barn in a rural county in Texas a year ago with no permits required of any kind. Not for the road or site clearing. Not for the buildings. Not for the water well. Not for the electrical infrastructure. And not for the septic sewage system. Nada, zilch. Construction plans agreed to in back-and-forth with contractor and everything completed within 12 months. Weather was an occasional source of delay, but not the government.
