#2 Not the case here, but never attempt to purchase a property that was once a gas station.

#3 I'm sure they'll maximize the number of ~~tenants~~ residents per lot with few auto parking spots and required EV hookups. Think Green Soviet Architecture

#5 Think Green Soviet Architecture

Brilliant! Let's build some of those 12 story concrete apartment complexes like the Soviets did back in the day. Khrushchyovkas, they called them after famous commie Nikita Khrushchev. (I don't think it was a compliment) Affordable Housing, baby!

#8 They have voted for this for years. They just thought they had their piece of paradise and would be safe.

#9 What makes it seem even more like a plan is the experience some home owners are having in Lahaina.

Kinda like a page out of the playbook.

#10 IIRC, there were problems bringing water to bear on the fire in Lahaina kinda like the problems they had with empty reservoirs and non-functional fire hydrants in Los Angeles. You would think that civic leaders in fire prone areas would pay more attention to such things but then, maybe that's exactly what they did.

#11 Los Angeles is a sanctuary city. It provides a sanctuary for grotesquely incompetent politicians.

#12 These are all rich fucks, the ones that lay off entire divisions and require you to train your replacements in Bangalore.
Oh bo-hoo for them.
Exorbitant costs. They can afford it. Fuck 'em.

#13 Wait for it:
The ones who decide to rebuild have their properties condemmed and eminent domained.
