I don't see how there is any alternative to allowing applicants to hire third party permit reviewers and inspectors. LADBS is already massively backed up, and we already have a housing shortage.

How long is it going to take to get LADBS to permit, inspect and rebuild thousands and thousands of homes?

Another question: What's happening with Measure ULA? Many of the residential lots in the Palisades, and likely all of the commercial lots, are subject to the transfer tax. Seems a harsh to hit someone with a $200K+ tax after their house burned down...

Any lot in a state-designated very high fire risk zone is ineligible to use the law, as is any home in a locally-designated high or very high fire risk. That covers most of what has burned down in the past couple of days.

Agreed -- but there's one additional thing we must do: reform the process so eliminate steps that take effort but add little/no value. That's a major part of how San Diego got to the point they're issuing 50% of all permits same day without radically increasing staff.

Third-party review, sure. But also waiving 90% of the requirements and instituting a shot clock for presumed approval. I bet Elon could assemble a team to identify the actually deathly important permit requirements in a day.

The alternative is to eliminate 90% of the code. The easiest way might be to simply revert to a code from the 40s-60s.

two year moratorium on filing permits and zoning laws would solve all of Southern California's housing issues. could be a new Hong Kong alongside on the beach if the rich owners combine parcels and build the mega tower to end all megatower

MUCH smaller scale, but Napa and Sonoma counties allowed accelerated permitting. We had some recent-build projects that were allowed to literally resubmit their original plans. A lot of “same footprint” like-for-like build as well.

I’m skeptical that this wealthy neighborhood will do anything but double down on their bad investment.

Santa Rosa was rebuilt exactly as it was before Tubbs Fire. Down to the trees in the front yards. This isn’t going to be a learning experience. x.com/tobyhardtospel…

Instead, the city needs to seriously streamline, and emergency hire staff. Esp on the inspection side. Expanded certification by private engineers on structural, MEP might be done.

Let's hope AI will be employed to make the obvious decisions people don't make because of the bias to complicate and provide purpose for their jobs through over-regulation. Sorry, I'm a bit sour on our institutions this morning.

I would like to think that the city will be flexible in allowing third party permit reviewers. Bass's political survival, however small the chance of it is, depends on rebuilding, and the affluent residents of Pacific Palisades are politically active.

Your first 5 hires should be able to (Eventually) replace you as CEO If they cant, they arent talented enough to take you to 8 figures How to mitigate this: Have a killer COO to hire for you

If this area is to be rebuilt (rather than turned to parkland) it has to be fire hardened and denser. Are our standard development mechanics going to be able to handle that? It can’t just be “you get to rebuild your exact house plus a metal roof.”

These are the same people who are responsible for those regulations! These are the fussiest people on the planet-running screaming crying to their local representatives anytime someone built something that offended their delicate sensibilities. It's not "the city".
