I think he’s now in NoCal?
Very tragic thing happening out there.
Do you live in that area or have practices in that area? I was thinking you were up near the bay area now.
The four-five year rebuild timeline is going to be a nightmare for SoCal.
Finding shelter as a long term rental is going to be very difficult because the reported shortage of homes/condos/apartments was already of concern. Note: Average home price in LA County is now just over $900,000 dollars.
Many of the citizens may just decide to relocate to Nevada or Arizona.
Demographers and sociologists will have a busy time laying out the long term effects this will have on many aspects of American life.
Expect shortages of building supplies, appliances, and home furnishings nationwide.
Time to buy Home Depot Stock?

Moving will be easier than rebuilding in that regulatory environment.
I just saw Mel Gibson's house in Malibu burned down.
So did many other celebrities houses.

Celebrities Who Have Lost Their Homes in the Los Angeles Fires
Stars including Paris Hilton, Milo Ventimiglia, Tina Knowles, and Jeff Bridges have confirmed the loss of their homes amid thousands in the Southern California area.
Was the surrounding neighborhood affected? We have friends who have a cabin on the mountain overlooking Gatlinburg Tennessee. When they had the massive wildfires there, it jumped their road but burned those above and below. It was very odd.
It keeps jumping over to the next canyon and burning down to the PCH. They just arrested a woman for trying to start a fire in Malibu.
Firebugs are mentally disturbed people who should be incarcerated if for no other reason the safety of their fellow humans.
How horrible for all of us that they either don’t understand what they’ve done or they enjoy what they’ve done to others.

The insurance battles will be horrendous. The FAIR last resort insurance offered by the State of CA is not so different from Citizens here in FL and neither one is fully funded.
Wait till they find out their protected property tax will go away if they don't rebuild within 2 years. It will take way longer than that.
The Governor has signed an executive order freezing many of the state, county, and city requirements for permitting so that might shorten that timeline.
I wonder if the expected blowback if that property tax protection does go away might have been part of that equation.
Here's a good place to donate to that's helping animals displaced by the fires:
I donated $20.
They said they have thousands of people offering to help so I hope they get tons of money.
I'll give to Samaritan's Purse. Same as N. Carolina disaster.
First I want to say my heart goes out to those affected, including animals etc
I’ve never been through anything like this, including many storms here in south Florida
I saw where they were freezing permits ( I guess that means the time delay ), but I don’t think rebuilding of anything will be for quite some time
This will affect construction countrywide, both driving the cost up even higher than it already is and materials becoming scarce as demand exceeds supply
Right now just food,shelter and basic survival are the immediate needs
As some on here have said it’s gonna be along time down the road
In closing, I can’t fathom the mental and emotional anguish these folks are going through, and I hope that out of the ashes goodness, faith and brotherhood will rise with the new day!

Any projections on how long until they are out completely?
