neo may correct me, but looking into the Paradise Fire which burned Gerard Vanderleun’s home, the average homeowners got the same land grab treatment as the Palisades homeowners are now experiencing. Chat summarizes:
_______________________________

Paradise, CA (Camp Fire, 2018) –85% of the town destroyed

* Rebuild blocked by CEQA, PG&E grid failures, and FEMA restrictions
* Property values cratered
* Investors began assembling parcels
* Few locals could afford to rebuild or even stay nearby

That’s just the way it is.

They are still the most influential general journals. That is why Stanford worked to make Marcia McNutt editor-in-chief of Science and the covid bull sh!tters published in Nature. Note that McNutt is now President of the NAS.

Sorry for your troubles and sorry more of the U.S. voting public doesn’t prioritize electing representatives who will fight to ensure individual property rights.

[What do you think the president of Ireland does?…]

In my view, your response sounds kind of dismissive. If you rephrase the question in a more neutral manner, then I’d gladly like to discuss my idea.
Later on.

(Or are they “Teflon” publications?)

…Speaking of Teflon…

“FRAUD ALL THE WAY DOWN”—

William Happer and Richard Lindzen are old news, their paper can’t be considered change unless it gets published in Science or Nature, which is unlikely. The con won’t be in trouble until the young folks figure it out.

Likewise. Sorry for your travails. Give ’em heck if you can.

My café friend, who was a mayor of Malibu, said that after the Palisades Fire there was no way the California Coastal Commission would allow those beachfront homes to be rebuilt.

Technically, homeowners can rebuild if they rebuild exactly what they had before, presumably up to current code. However, practically speaking, the CCC doesn’t have to say no, it just has to make rebuilding impossible.

So, the fires were an emergency and Democrats don’t let emergencies go to waste. I won’t be surprised if this turns into a massive land grab carved up between the ultra-rich and the state government.

There were ordinary middle-class folks who managed to buy into the Palisades at the right time. My bet is their homes and their investments will be lost for pennies on the dollar.

(I have no views at all on string theory, btw.)

I love a substantive debate!
