LA issues four permits for rebuilding fires

The city of Los Angeles has issued just four rebuilding permits in the Pacific Palisades 75 days after a fire devastated most of the coastal community, highlighting the city's struggle with providing basic government services. After the city dedicated significant resources to tearing down a 20-year-old family treehouse earlier this month over permitting disagreements, many individuals highlighted their struggles with obtaining permits for building even simple structures. According to Los Angeles City Councilwoman Traci Park, who represents the Pacific Palisades, only four permits have been issued for rebuilding thus far after a fire destroyed 6,000 structures and leveled much of the community.

"When I hear in a committee meeting like we had today that only four permits have been issued and we're at day 75 post-fire, that is concerning to me," said Park to ABC 7. "The loss of business and tax revenue is going to impact us. We are looking at hundreds of billions of dollars in economic losses overall here, and I don't think there is any real easy way to sugarcoat this. It's a mess."
