First up is the rant from two months ago:

After 75 Days, Los Angeles Has Issued Just Four Permits to Rebuild Houses:

Back in January 13, Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass “issued a sweeping Executive Order to clear the way for Los Angeles residents to rapidly rebuild the homes they lost in the ongoing firestorm and lays the foundation for businesses to plan their rebuild. She also updated the local emergency declaration to account for the firestorm’s devastation and to accelerate the city’s recovery and rebuilding.”

Terms like “rapidly” and “accelerate” sound impressive, but you will probably not be shocked to learn that the city government’s concept of “rapidly” is only fast when compared to glaciers.

As of Monday, March 24, 75 days after the fire, the city had issued . . . four permits for homeowners to rebuild their properties. Not forty. Not fourteen. Four.

But I’d still bet that he’s wrong about how this will change the voting of Hollywood Leftists, or most of LA and California for that matter.

A transcription of part of the rant…

You guys all voted for Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. You all voted for Gavin Newsom, and now you fucking get what you get. Now that your house is on fire.
….
So here’s what’s going to happen. All these people who are deep blue Democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild, and they’re going to get the 28 year old bitch from the Coastal Commission telling them to go fuck off and then they’re going to vote for Trump or whoever’s Trumpian next.
…
When they start getting the regulation, they’re going to go nuts. And when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they’re going to start going nuts and they’re going to vote for Rick Caruso next time.
….
They’re going to find out they’re going to get bit by their own snake. They’re going to convert. I am telling you, these are the bluest people on the planet and they’re going to be fucking rip shit pissed when the City and the Coastal Commission tell them to fuck off.
….
We’re going to have to restructure the whole thing because we can’t have nine angry lesbians controlling everything that goes on in Malibu, the Palisades and Santa Monica.
