After the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles County, President Trump visited the area in January and highlighted the incompetence of L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. Trump also told local leaders to cut the red tape and rebuild quickly:
Holy sh*t! They took away Karen Bash's microphone after she smarted off to Trump.

Needless to say, Trump absolutely DESTROYED her. pic.twitter.com/n0kkTXzOX7
Fast forward to this week, and Mayor Bass called the recovery effort the "fastest in modern California History":
LA’s recovery effort is on track to be the fastest in modern California history thanks to strong partnerships with leaders from all levels of government – especially @CAGovernor and our @CountyofLA partners.

We met with key stakeholders this morning to align on federal advocacy… pic.twitter.com/rFMht5XSEg
Notice that Bass said "fastest in California history," because other places might not consider this to be very speedy.

That was a few days ago. Yesterday the "fastest recovery" ticked up a notch:
As of today, per their own website, they’ve issued five permits to rebuild homes destroyed by the Palisades fire. Five. https://t.co/cxZPCTEPEO

Breaking "fast recovery" news: Today the number of permits issued is up to six!
"Progressive" bureaucracy -- moving at the speed of snail!
What a crock. Tell us when homes are completed. https://t.co/dpz2d1zFzD

We're afraid to ask how many years that'll take.
