LA County Land Grab Coming – ‘They are Going to Turn Altedena into One Huge Apartment Complex’

LA 2.0. Does anyone really think that those cozy homes that dotted the landscape in the fire ravaged areas will return after Newsom and his pals get done with it?

Many of us who have endured the dreaded “Eminent Domain” action by the government, can’t help but find ourselves with a wry smile.  Their future is not likely going to be theirs. 

Now is a chance to create the perfect little 500 square foot apartments. All made of ticky tack, 15 minute cities. The Progressive dream is at hand.

What does Newsom have to say? Well a lot of mumble … but

Governor Gavin Newsom announces a sweeping plan to rebuild Los Angeles, dubbing it “L.A. 2.0″ under a Marshall Plan-inspired initiative that signals major changes for the city.

Perfect timing wouldn’t you say?

“They are going to turn Altadena into one gigantic apartment complex,” X user Bay Area State OF Mind said, referring to local officials who want to change zoning in the Altadena area from single-family to multi-family. In other words, some officials want to usher in the construction of apartment buildings and so-called ‘smart cities.’

Altadena (and other areas in L.A. County) could serve as a proof-of-concept for how the Democratic Party transforms single-family neighborhoods into apartment buildings in a world where citizens own nothing and will be happy. 

There is no question of the incompetency. Well documented. As Bunk posted this week, it turns out that half of the LA fire trucks were out for repair- over 100. No funds to repair them. But it does turn out they can afford an electric fire truck.

LA 100 Fire Trucks Out of Service for Repairs, but Money for an Electric Fire Truck

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley confirmed that more than 100 fire trucks — over half the fleet — were in need of repairs and out of commission due to budget cuts when wildfires ravaged the area this week.

Crowley made the comments in an interview with CNN on Saturday, one day after asserting the city failed the department she commands, saying budget cuts eliminated civilian positions, like mechanics, that led to the trucks sitting idly in a parking lot.

The LAFD fleet has 183 fire trucks, the Daily Mail reported.

Then we have the empty reservoir.

JUST IN: The Pacific Palisades reservoir was EMPTY AND OFFLINE when the firestorm exploded, per LA Times

This is CRIMINAL.

The reservoir holds 117 million gallons of water, and would’ve given firefighters ample pressure to effectively fight the blaze.

With many of these homes under insured or with no insurance, the banks will simply take possession. I would assume most of these homes have a mortgage. How many will simply walk away or is the Federal government going to make everyone whole? I would think not. In that case the banks will take possession. The worries over Land-Grab by outsiders more likely will be the banks.

Water water everywhere… but none in the reservoir.

“This was supposed to be the water to put out the Palisades fire.”

The song “Little Boxes Made of Ticky Tack” comes to mind. “Little Boxes” – Walk off the Earth

Perfect together. How can one resist? A refresher.
