LA County Land Grab Coming – ‘They are Going to Turn Altedena into One Huge Apartment Complex’

January 17, 2025 — bunkerville

LA 2.0. Does anyone really think that those cozy homes that dotted the landscape in the fire ravaged areas will return after Newsom and his pals get done with it?

Many of us who have endured the dreaded “Eminent Domain” action by the government, can’t help but find ourselves with a wry smile.  Their future is not likely going to be theirs. 

Now is a chance to create the perfect little 500 square foot apartments. All made of ticky tack, 15 minute cities. The Progressive dream is at hand.

What does Newsom have to say? Well a lot of mumble … but

Perfect timing wouldn’t you say?

“They are going to turn Altadena into one gigantic apartment complex,” X user Bay Area State OF Mind said, referring to local officials who want to change zoning in the Altadena area from single-family to multi-family. In other words, some officials want to usher in the construction of apartment buildings and so-called ‘smart cities.’

Altadena (and other areas in L.A. County) could serve as a proof-of-concept for how the Democratic Party transforms single-family neighborhoods into apartment buildings in a world where citizens own nothing and will be happy. 

There is no question of the incompetency. Well documented. As Bunk posted this week, it turns out that half of the LA fire trucks were out for repair- over 100. No funds to repair them. But it does turn out they can afford an electric fire truck.

LA 100 Fire Trucks Out of Service for Repairs, but Money for an Electric Fire Truck

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley confirmed that more than 100 fire trucks — over half the fleet — were in need of repairs and out of commission due to budget cuts when wildfires ravaged the area this week.

Crowley made the comments in an interview with CNN on Saturday, one day after asserting the city failed the department she commands, saying budget cuts eliminated civilian positions, like mechanics, that led to the trucks sitting idly in a parking lot.

The LAFD fleet has 183 fire trucks, the Daily Mail reported.

Then we have the empty reservoir.

With many of these homes under insured or with no insurance, the banks will simply take possession. I would assume most of these homes have a mortgage. How many will simply walk away or is the Federal government going to make everyone whole? I would think not. In that case the banks will take possession. The worries over Land-Grab by outsiders more likely will be the banks.

Water water everywhere… but none in the reservoir.

The song “Little Boxes Made of Ticky Tack” comes to mind. “Little Boxes” – Walk off the Earth

Perfect together. How can one resist? A refresher.

LA Still Waits For The Water Hydrants to Have Water

January 10, 2025 — bunkerville

So now you know. As of late yesterday with LA still waiting for those hydrants to function, the LA Mayor can’t quite figure any problems but high winds.

 

Of course, check out the URL.

I think I got it. In a pinch anything…..

Thanks. I feel so much better.

It hard to wrap your head around the facts of the devastation.

It’s a wrap. All she wrote for a week of devastation brought to you by the Deep State.

Blame the government not PG&E Utility for CA fires and power blackouts

October 11, 2019 — bunkerville

 

As millions of Californians are plunged into the dark ages is there anything that can be learned from this experience? Let’s take a look.

Now the media theme of the problem goes like this:

Millions of Californians may have just suffered an unprecedented, induced blackout by the state’s largest (and bankrupt) utility, PG&E, just so it isn’t blamed for starting even more fires causing it to go even more bankrupt.

But there is much more to blame than the utility company. Hint: Could it be the government?

Oh by the way, keep in mind all those wonderful solar panels don’t mean anything. Almost all are piped back into the utility system. Thus not one bit of help.

CA fires of hell, thank the environmentalists

Obama-Era Eco-Terrorism through Environmental Regulations

These Obama-era regulations introduced excessive layers of bureaucracy that blocked proper forest management and increased environmentalist litigation and costs — a result of far too many radical environmentalists, bureaucrats, Leftist politicians and judicial activists who would rather let forests burn than let anyone thin out overgrown trees or let professional loggers harvest usable timber left from beetle infestation, or selectively cut timber.

In a 2016 Townhall column, Paul Driessen explains:

Eco-purists want no cutting, no thinning – no using fire retardants in “sensitive” areas because the chemicals might get into streams that will be boiled away by conflagrations. They prevent homeowners from clearing brush around their homes, because it might provide cover or habitat for endangered species and other critters that will get incinerated or lose their forage, prey and habitats in the next blaze. They rarely alter their policies during drought years.

The resulting fires are not the “forest-rejuvenating” blazes of environmentalist lore. They are cauldron-hot conflagrations that exterminate wildlife habitats, roast bald eagle and spotted owl fledglings alive in their nests, boil away trout and trout streams, leave surviving animals to starve, and incinerate every living organism in already thin soils … that then get washed away during future downpours and snow melts. Areas incinerated by such fires don’t recover their arboreal biodiversity for decades.

CA Fires of Hell – Thank Moonbeam Brown for Cutting Forest Management Budget

In September 2016, Governor Brown vetoed SB 1463, a bill in the California legislature which would have required the California Public Utilities Commission to prioritize areas at increased risk from overhead wires in their management of wildfires.

Then we had Brown slashing the forest management budget. Good move moonbeam.

Also note the infamous Delta Smelt budget was not cut… this endangered specie causing the water shutdown thus causing the drought in the lush farmland of  Central California.

And the coup de grâce of California at its finest?

More than 2 million people are being plunged into darkness as part of an unprecedented, orchestrated blackout across Northern California. But good luck finding out whether you’re one of them. Bloomberg’s Lynn Doan reports on “Bloomberg Markets.”

 

Other than that all is well in the swamp. For the best in conservative news and so much better than Drudge click below:
