(The Center Square) — 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.” more
Just a $101 million? How quickly will this become billions?
They’ll spend half that money for an environmental impact study on scorched earth. Palms must be greased.
In 6 months, only a 100 building permits. Everything held up. Stealing peoples’ property. For “low-income” RENTAL housing to be owned by WHOM? for WHOM? Crap up California even more…
Just let the LA tent people move into the empty lots. It’s the lowest income housing of all & it won’t cost the tax payers a dime!
Insta slum
Now we see for sure why the fire was allowed to destroy, and it is just what was reported and called a conspiracy theory.
Everything instigated by the left turns out to be a conspiracy theory sooner or later due to the law of unintended consequences. The left are masters at mucking things up and always blaming it on others who oppose them every damned time.
Affordable sounds great but it means restricted to a particular class of people. Not just anyone can afford affordability.
Zero even intended for the actual burned-out homeowners, all intended for developers of low-income housing, in one of the most expensive areas in the world. Just more theft from CA gov’t.
Great, what LA doesn’t need is more section 8 housing.
Saw this coming the third day of the fires.
Someone said a few weeks ago on X they thought the CA govt was going to build welfare housing there and not let the wealthy owners back in.
hmmmmm
Someone just give Newscum a lit Moltof Cocktail to start more fires and end up building yet more Affordable Housing to stuff the ILLEGALS into.
How deeply are Aunt Pelosi and Uncle Pelosi involved in this money laundering scheme?
Low cost USDA loans.
Hey, here’s an idea – stop voting for Democrats, California. What’s that? Too late, you say?
shitholer housing is ok in other people’s neighborhoods
Property tax revenue when the wealthy leave forever?
What, only 99% of the fire victims voted for Newsom? Even after being stabbed in the back, because of incurable voting habits, they’ll still vote the same as always. Zero sympathy.
Like this wasn’t a planned event from the start; arson to government confiscation at warp-speed.
$101 million in California equates to about 60 units so this really is no big deal. By the time all the Gubmint agencies take their cut and then force the hiring of Union flackies who will grease 10% right back there will be nothing left.
5,000 homes destroyed and less than 50 permits issued. When Trump was out there he challenged Newscum and Basshole to issue permits they could do any time. Newscum wanted 50 billion to rebuild, but without government oversight. That way he and his friends could line their pockets with more money while people suffered.

No. 101 mil will get the lots plotted out, the sewage and water system designed and partially built. The roads still won’t be paved. Maybe he’s planning a tent city. Where did he get the money? As small of an amount as it is. This states so far in debt we’ll never climb out. And the feds refuse to give him any money. Newsom’s like the little teenage girl who’s parents finally had to take her credit card away because she won’t stop spending. 101 mil is a joke. And further more I believe the county controls the zoning, not the state.
When we were just starting out, my wife and I were trying to find a rental apartment, duplex, house, anything, and kept getting rejected without explanation despite good credit and more than enough income to pay the nut.
One landlord was finally honest enough to tell us that they ONLY wanted Section 8. I could get fired, you see, but Government money was guarenteed.
And most were absentee landlords who didnt give a damn about their buildings or their tenants anyway. One owner of a fairly large complex told my FD chief on an inspection tour to just let it burn if it ever caught fire because scraping it off and starting fresh was cheaper than rebuilding. That guy ABSOLUTELY did not get the answer he wanted, but it did demostrate the mindset of some such property owners.
The fires in LA, the floods in WNC, TN, Texas, and NM were all planned to allow leftists takeover of land for their purposes. The floods were meant to buy up the land in WNC for mining to make one man rich who would then pay off the leftist who caused the flood. I’m sure the same results for the floods in TN, Texas, and NM will result in the same financial situations.
We used to say, there goes the neighborhood. I wonder if this was all part of a plan.
If you build it they will come. Sorry about the crapification of the area but the welfare scum must be served, one vote at a time. Remember,T here are more of them than there are of you and the rule of numbers always prevails. Some old dead white military person said ‘Quantity has a quality all its own.’ He was correct.
