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.

Right.

David, what's amazing to me is, and we're waiting for this action after action report, which is incredible, we don't even have it yet.

But I was convinced nine months ago, I'm more convinced today, that fire was completely preventable.

And if you think I'm wrong and it wasn't completely preventable, the damage could have been significantly mitigated.

The fire department was never pre-deployed.

Where the fire started is the same exact place that there was a fire seven days before.

I think what we're gonna see is the fire department did not put that original fire out.

It smoldered and reignited.

When it reignited, the winds were not here yet.

The smoke was going straight up.
