I don't think so.

I think there's probably fringe people who would like to see zoning changes.

I don't believe that there should be zoning changes.

on the backs of people who have lost their homes and their businesses.

If you want to do that, you want to have that discussion, do it in an orderly fashion, but do everything you can to get people back into their communities, back in their homes.

And this city and government has got to have this culture that we've got your back.

We're here for you, and we don't have that.

And you're not going to get people to reinvest in their own homes and their own community unless they think the city's going to be there with them.

Well, I think it's part and parcel, you know, to be honest.

But I also believe that... Meaning, so is Gavin Newsom helpful?

I don't think it's chaos.

I think actually Gavin has done some good things, waiving CEQA, waiving the Coastal Commission.

Those are really smart things that he's done.

I'd like to see him do more, for sure.

What he could do is he could demand changes very quickly, and if not, he could exert independent California authority to make changes.

These communities, Altadena and Malibu and Palisades, they need completely new infrastructure.

They need all the power lines underground.

They need new water systems.

All of that has to be done.

He's got the power to really make that happen.
