Rebuilding the Palisades, but Who is in Charge and Who has the final Money?

In January 2025, the devastating Palisades and Eaton wildfires ravaged Los Angeles County, destroying over 16,000 structures, including thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Malibu, displacing nearly 150,000 people and causing 30 deaths. Rebuilding efforts in Pacific Palisades are underway, with over 800 homeowners applying for permits, though only 165 have been approved, averaging 55 days for processing. California state law and a Los Angeles ordinance mandate that fire-destroyed rent-protected housing, built before October 1978, be replaced with low-income units, using county-level income data, which has sparked debate in the affluent Palisades community. Governor Newsom allocated $101 million to support affordable multifamily housing, prioritizing fire-displaced families. What are they doing to aid recovery while addressing community concerns about maintaining neighborhood character?
