Let's just do a quick recap.

So, you know, the Palisades fire a year ago destroyed 6837 structures, including about 5000 homes.

And as of November 2025, only one home has been rebuilt.

Can you just give us your view on what's gone on since the fire?

Why has this been such a slow process?

And why have all of the promises that were made in the days and weeks after the fire

forgotten about.

Can you just help diagnose the source of the problem?

Is it cronyism, corruption by some sort of union or labor group or contractors that are trying to up the cost of things?

Sure.

Is it an incompetency?

Or is there a good motivation to save the planet and save the environment and slow things down?

I mean, what is what is behind the overregulation and the red tape, which is not just inherent in LA, it's obviously a California problem.

And across the United States, I've got my view on this.

I'd love to hear your view on where this is coming from.

What's the origin of this?

Because their job, the job of that individual sitting in that role, whether it's a local, state, or federal government agency,

is to increase safety.

Their job is not to think about the second and third order effects on the economy, on the affordability, on the ability to move quickly, on all the other factors that the individual citizen and the businesses in the community then have to deal with.
