As of 2020 all new builds (3 stories or less) in California require solar power. I wonder if California will enforce this mandate with all the rebuilding that will happen. Thoughts?

And all those people have provably been *****ing about their homeowner insurance rates going over the last few years...

Turns out that the loons you vote for make stupid laws that may affect this stuff.

A relative who lives there says the solar has to be hooked up to the grid. Illegal to have panels which supply a freestanding battery/inverter setup for personal use.

What a ****ing nightmare that state is!

The system also must be large enough to meet the home's annual electricity usage, or at least have a battery system ($$$$) to make it capable of doing so.

California aspires to become a national park whose only residents as movie stars and illegal immigrants.

So they're basically forcing home builders and home owners to subsidize and build out the states solar capacity?

Sickos.

So glad I sold out and moved to Texas 17 months ago.

Probably cost me about $20,000 in moving costs but worth every penny.

The 10% pay cut was offset by no state income tax and a lower sales tax (was 10.25% in my town).

These kinds of nutty laws are going to keep raising the price of housing in California and drive more Californians to places like Texas.

Brace for impact.

How will illegals even be able to live there with silly ass regs like this?

Probably get means tested out of having to adhere to these laws.

Listened to Trump at Governor's Ball.

His thoughts on the California homes (paraphrasing):

1. Gavin Newsom is a terrible governor who turned down water when Trump put a bill on his desk to give them "unlimited" water from Northern states and Canada.

2. These are among the most expensive homes in the world and they are gone and likely won't be coming back.

3. Many of those people won't rebuild. They'll move to states like Florida and Texas costing California billions in tax revenue from these homeowners.

4. No one wants to live in a construction site for the foreseeable future.

5. Newsom is one of the worst governors to ever run a state (did I already say that?) and he has destroyed California.
