Governor Newsom suspends environmental laws to allow rebuilding in fire zones

Which laws is he suspending?

There’s going to be tons of rebuilding to do. Tons of construction. We need more immigrants.

Shouldn’t they solve climate change before they rebuild? It might just burn down again if it gets windy.

Newsome just says stuff.

But they'll need to cut the read tape with all their permitting requirements if they dont want it to take forever. You know, stuff like Trump does and wants to do across the board. Why would they make this an exception?  Seems pretty hypocritical. Climate change doesn't matter if we need a bunch of construction in LA?

LA boosted the police budget. Popo receive something like 15% of city’s budget if I heard correctly.

Lots of community outreach and other feel good bullshitt in a police budget. It’s great place to hide the woke crap.  Would have to see a breakdown to give the claim that it was increased to do police work any validity.

Hopefully the celebs will be able to rebuild with top of the line gas appliances.  Can't expect their personal chefs to cook on electric stoves like the poor folks.

CA will NEVER allow those people along the coast to rebuild. They've been trying to get rid of them for years.  These fires were a godsend for CA government.

Get rid of all the illegals in So. Cal. and the amount of rebuilding needed will decrease significantly.

*Concrete blocks. 

Cement is an ingredient of concrete. Sorry, just a pet peeve.  

And the cheapest and fastest cement will be coming from China btw.  Probably one of those rules Newsome will suddenly be OK with.  

[Horseman 2,036]

Oh that's right. Biden already said the federal government is going to reimburse CA. Projects that use federal funds have to adhere to Biden's Build America Buy America Act.

Is that a law in CA now?  Some reporter should cover the first McMansion rebuilt and see if it has gas.  

Eh, who am I kidding. We don't have reporters anymore.

Climate Change!!!!

Quote

 

Jen Croft, an air resource adviser with California Wildland Fire Coordinating Group, said there was “a tremendous amount of particulates and pollutants” in the building materials that burned in the Eaton fire area. Lead and arsenic readings are high, she said.

 

Oooooof.

Quote

 

The most significant piece is a waiver on permitting requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act — a landmark environmental law known colloquially as C.E.Q.A. or “See Qua.”

The governor also announced that he had suspended all permitting requirements under the California State Coastal Act for properties rebuilding after the fires.

Three guys here now rooting for the fire and not one conservative here calls them out on it. In this forum, you can be a bigot, a racist, an anti-Semite, you can root for fires, you can wish for people to die or their loved ones to be raped- and so long as you’re perceived as a conservative nobody will ever call you out. In fact more often than not they’ll cheer you on. What a disgusting group.

In regards to government incompetence, has anyone asked why the insurance companies knew the fire danger was so high, they didn't want to renew policies, but supposedly the government couldn't be expected to be aware and do some thing about it?

This is all on Newsome. It's his State and his job to know what's going on. Why was the Emergency Services budget cuts? Why haven't they been clearing hazardous brush, why didn't he make sure all reservoirs were full, why did he donate fire fighting equipment to Ukraine, why didn't he accept help sooner?? 

He should be answering these questions in front of Congress.
