Not enough.

I was out there last night.

It's slower than it should be.

And what is slowing it down?

Slowing it down is an enormous amount of red tape.

I mean, the previous speakers talking about red tape in the state of California.

We have red tape in the city of Los Angeles and the county that's ridiculous.

But let me just give you an example.

Since COVID.

We have still not, we being the city, has still not called back workers to City Hall.

So plan checkers in LA City are working from home.

You just lost 7,000 homes.

You would think the first thing the mayor would do is say, you 10 plan checkers are now out in the Palisades in a construction trailer where the people need you.

They're still working out of a home.

You'll have to call 1-800-KAREN-BASS.

I think this is what it is.

I think there's a level of incompetence

that's combined with literally a stagnation and there's no urgency to do anything.

So there's no decision making and all of us have been in situations in business or whatnot where you meet somebody that is just not well equipped.

And so what happens when you're not well equipped to make decisions in either easy situations or complex situations, you sort of freeze up.
