Opinion California on fire

[avenue94]

Just another Democrat failure, as they were stealing money that could have been used to fix the reservoir quickly. Instead, they were taking the taxpayer's payer $$$ for a bogus security deal. They also should have been clearing the brush.

Now that they have cleared the 70+% elite rich from the area that all voted Democrat, they can build high-density housing. Watch it happen.

Assuming your conspiracy theory is true, why is rebuilding the area with more dense housing a bad idea?

Congestion, crime, school crowding, and much more. Pacific Palisades was already crowded with rich people; it will be fun to increase that crowd size with poor people to see what happens next.

The palisades have a very lower population density, and shifting to multifamily housing and not mansions doesn't automatically increase crime.

You can't complain about homelessness and housing costs in California and then turn around and claim the Palisades should be built as a bunch of mansions and single family homes again lol. Pick a lane.

You've never driven through Pacific Palisades... ZERO residential parking before the fire. I spent many holidays and events there, and parking absolutely sucks. Also, the streets are skinny, so it's often a one-way street as it's parked out.... even though it's meant for 2 ways.

I've been through several times. The Palisades has less than 10 percent the population density of Santa Monica.

We could also always just rebuild the area with better public transit or wider streets or less mansions.

"There's too many luxury cars clogging the streets and I can't park"

You act like this is some huge problem we can't possibly surmount.

It's steep hills... You can't build on those.

You don't get to expand the streets without taking property away from most of the residents. Your "solution" is to put high-density housing where it does not belong.

I say let the market decide, if people want to sell their lots and developers want to build more density, the government shouldn't block it.

There's no reason to build a rich enclave if the market supports more accessible housing costs.
