My, my. We knew trouble was coming when Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass barred wildfire victims from clearing their own property of the wreckage. The task now is to rebuild, but California Gov. Gavin Newsom put some conditions on homeowners in Pacific Palisades. He's telling them they have to "rebuild with science" and with "climate reality" in mind. And that means what, exactly? The last thing people trying to rebuild their lives need right now is more red tape.
Gov. @GavinNewsom admits he won't let Pacific Palisades property owners to rebuild as before: "You can't rebuild the same. We have to rebuild with science. We have to build with climate reality in mind." pic.twitter.com/C6bIcd6iUr

He almost seems glad to have been given the opportunity to direct the rebuilding effort.
All you Democrats in the Palisades looking to rebuild....

15 minute cities inbound. Not surprised at all.

Trump will have to have a pow-wow with Gavin about this.

Climate reality according to who?
Forced solar panels. Forced electric everything/no natural gas.

We wonder if this will be Newsom's opportunity to ban natural gas lines to homes. You can rebuild your homes, but they all must have solar panels on the roof.
I remember the press conference Trump had in CA. He said to fast track the permits and let them build bigger.

So in other words this douchebag wanted these homes to burn so he could dictate what kind of home these people could live in, according to what he would deem as acceptable.

That sounds like pretty much it.
WTF does that even mean anyway. You have to rebuild with science? Those people need to sue him into unemployment and homelessness.

Sure, you can rebuild on your own property, but it will be done with "climate reality" in mind.
