Los Angeles’s Mayor Karen Bass, who said her revolutionary communist days were behind her, plans to hire an outside consultant to rebuild Palisades “in a more equitable and environmentally sustainable way.” Hopefully, the beautiful Americana of the Palisades won’t end up with affordable density housing that reminds one of Krushchevkas.
People are worried about the 15-minute cities popping up in the burnt-out areas.
The owners of Palisades better get those recall petitions ready. She made her decision without any consultation with the residents. She will hire an outside consultant without consultation with residents.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Bass announced her intention to hire a consultant to handle the rebuilding as a construction manager:
The city of Los Angeles is planning to hire an outside consultant to handle a significant rebuilding contract for areas devastated by this month’s Palisades fire, Mayor Karen Bass said Monday.
The firm will represent the city’s interests in the wildfire recovery process, including performing damage assessments, monitoring air and water quality, interacting with various federal agencies, and ensuring that the city gets as much federal reimbursement as possible, according to chief recovery officer Steve Soboroff.

Details about the scope of the forthcoming contract remain scant, but Bass said Monday that the city was in the midst of reviewing proposals from “major firms” and pledged to make a decision this week.
Her new hire, chief recovery officer Steve Soboroff, claimed the consultant they chose without consulting residents would represent them and hinted he’d control the federal money.
Fortunately, Trump appointed Ric Grennell to find a special master to oversee the funds at the behest of Breitbart reporter Joel Pollak.
The mayor of LA is going full communist.

Remember the ‘hospitals’ China built in a month of concrete boxes? At least they wont burn again.
I wouldn’t trust her to build anything but an ant colony.
These looney liberals just don’t understand that not everyone wants to live in a box under a box, over a box and between 3 other boxes. Some of us like to lounge in the back yard with our pets or children without 50 pairs of eyes watching (and complaining about) everything we do. We like trees, growing flowers, roses, and… Read more »
So,, her communist Utopia?
Well, she visited Cuba how many times???
Considering that fire was started for a purpose, LA should not allow corporate developers to set up shop anywhere near the Palisades, where they would build block house apartments like they are doing in San Diego. Our cities fathers are allowing the building of thousands of apartments in what look like concrete bunkers with no style, and we’ll all be… Read more »
My apologies if it was mentioned already and I missed it, but is it true, is it confirmed that Karen Bass when she was younger was part of M-19 a sort of domestic terrorist group ?
Yes, she belonged to the Venceremos Brigade.
Trump called her out and exposed her folly when he went there, and she still refuses to do what’s right.
