As people in the Los Angeles area struggle to rebuild their homes, California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced $101 million in new funding for ‘multifamily low-income housing’ in the area for ‘a more equitable and resilient Los Angeles.’This has red flags all over it.Back in January, comedian Adam Carolla went viral over predictions he made about what a nightmare it would be to rebuild after the fires due to the miles of progressive red tape that have grown in the state over the years.Lots of people speculated that the fires would be used for a government land grab. If Newsom wants that speculation to grow, this is the way to do it.https://twitter.com/CAgovernor/status/1942723787038023961https://twitter.com/houmanhemmati/status/1942739155580248475Beege Welborn commented at Hot Air:
The state’s oleaginous chief executive delivered the coup de grâce to former renters and landlords yesterday.In a self-congratulatory moment, Newsom grandly announced his intentions to bring ‘multifamily low-income housing development’ to Pacific Palisades, Eaton, and Altadena, creating a more ‘resilient and – keyword here – equitable Los Angeles.’
Six months after the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled $101 million in funding Tuesday for “multifamily low-income housing development” that will “contribute to a more equitable and resilient Los Angeles.” The priority is for “geographic proximity to the fire perimeters of the Eaton, Hughes, and Palisades fires.”Earlier this year, The Center Square broke news that California state law and a local Los Angeles ordinance require fire-destroyed rent-protected housing — which includes all apartments in the city built before October 1978 — be replaced with low-income housing. Because the affordability requirements use county-level income data, not more local incomes, definitions for “low” and “very low” income housing reflect much lower incomes than the norm for the affluent Palisades community.“Thousands of families – from Pacific Palisades to Altadena to Malibu – are still displaced, and we owe it to them to help,” said Newsom in a statement. “The funding we’re announcing today will accelerate the development of affordable multifamily rental housing so that those rebuilding their lives after this tragedy have access to a safe, affordable place to come home to.”
This is getting a lot of attention on Twitter/X:
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Newsom need to stop their stupid and pointless war on ICE and the Trump administration and focus on helping people rebuild their homes.
