LA Mayor Bass Still Denies ‘Home’ Access to Fire Victims

Keep it going LA, and you will turn your county “Red.” So how are things going LA way since Trump had his “happening” last week with the Mayor? Trump told Mayor Bass how to do it. So much for her words.

Los Angelinos who lost everything in the deadly fires are still being prevented from visiting their homes without a police escort, new video shows – despite the city’s mayor claiming last week that rebuilding could begin ‘right away’.

Dave Harvilicz, 50, a resident from the ritzy Pacific Palisades enclave which was among the worst-hit areas, filmed himself speaking with US Army personnel who were still blocking access to his street on Saturday.  

According to official interactive maps, the ongoing Palisades Fire has likely obliterated the California businessman’s $4 million four-bedroom, three-bath property to the ground – but he’s still not even been granted access to see it.

It followed Friday night assurances from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass that residents would be able to start rebuilding ‘right away’ during a press conference where President Donald Trump scolded her about bureaucracy. 

When pressed by residents about when they could start rebuilding, she said the city was doing ‘everything we can – slashing regulations, expediting everything, so that people can begin the process right away’, according to the New York Post.

WTF? The LA government is forcing fire victims to sit in line for over FIVE HOURS to be given a “pass” to visit their homes

This is insane.

Trump called out Mayor Bass for this, and she LIED saying it wasn’t happening.

For those lucky enough to have an RV, life isn’t looking much better with the bureaucracy. Two RV parks must limit stays due to county regulations-

They say they are going to change the rule – good luck.

Rob Sagginario, the general manager of the RV park’s private operator, said his hands were tied because the time limit is written into his lease with the county. He said the park has several wildfire victims staying there.

Ancona and Mathews’ experience highlights the nest of restrictions that can prevent displaced families from finding places to reside while they await rebuilding or search for a permanent home elsewhere. The rationale of rules set before the fires, such as allowing more people to access recreational areas, holds less sway now.

It’s like watching a soap opera….Welcome to Progressive America.

President Biden once considered Bass to be a top contender for his vice presidential running mate in 2020, while former President Barack Obama previously predicted that she would be an “outstanding mayor” of the city.

When Bass was a U.S. representative from California, the Biden campaign interviewed her as the then-Democratic candidate’s potential running mate. As Politico reported at the time, the campaign considered the lawmaker to be “persuasive but not flashy,” “trusted by progressives but still respected by Republicans,” and “passionate, yet not someone who would allow her own objectives to overshadow her responsibilities as Biden’s No. 2.”

Just think about it. Quite the “deep bench” of candidates.

The best of the swamp.
