Has the main / Pacific Palisades fire spread to the east side of 405 yet? Looking at the google map, the Playboy Mansion (and the rumored tunnels around it) is a little over a mile to the east of 405. After that area is burned out, destroying evidence, the fire might finally be under control.

No, but we are talking a mile or less to 405 and Encino from the edges of the active fire zone. Also, Brentwood is a comprable sized suburb to the Palisades, is between the edge and the 405. Predictions are for winds to come back tonight or tomorrow.

Wouldn't that be a Cajun pizza?

No, it's a Netflix pizza, silly.

LOL!!

Celebrity types all have multiple homes, ranches etc. The LA places are for when doing business in town, which is becoming less frequent.

So, does anyone know if a house is destroyed by fire and gets rebuilt, does it lose its Prop 13 cost basis?

From what I've heard...if the house is rebuilt within 2 years, the owner gets to keep the original cost basis. If it is longer than that then it is taxed at present value. With the amount of rebuilding that is gonna happen does anyone think they will be able to rebuild in the 2 year window ???

Just another reason to grab the insurance money and not rebuild.

From one of the most corrupt municipalities in the state of CA if I remember correctly?

Misc says

Mansion Tax ???

Top of the Real Estate market ???

How about a little Jewish lightning to take out the houses. Grab the ginormous insurance payouts and kinda leave California in the dust (ash) so to speak.

Rebuild ??? -- giggles to self

I think a lot are going to run. Not first class, but if I can fly for $12 that everyone has to pay and I could live anywhere. Reality is unless you're AAAA list noticeable, no one will know you.

Even if you had to fly an hour each way from out of state it would be cheaper. $500 per day is nothing if you're making $4k/day. There's no point in living in LA really. Unless you're a big time surfer type. The beaches and water suck.

No. Despite the rich getting emergency exemptions from the corrupt CCC bans on building again on the beach.

No chance in two years. Labor. Permits. You might get some crazy people that drive out and live in campers to help rebuild to make some $$$$, but it's going to be a long time. Those fire areas are trash for a while regardless of "value" previous. Out of staters probably don't know the CA code either.

If you're in the construction/material industries you love this. I just think this will be an excuse for a lot of people to get out of the area. I'd bet beside waterfront 10-20% of people are out. Beautiful state, but at what point is it worth it? Traffic, fires, potential massive earthquakes. I'm interest to see GDP on 2026 (for 2025) taxes are. It's probably going to be billions.

Confirmation the fire and right of way eminent domain were planned. Just roll over the corpses, skeletons, destroyed property and wrecked lives to the 'grand vision of the future'. Was it a desperation investment pool to squeeze one last act of demolition in before Trump?

The 'Marshal Plan' has probably been on the books for twenty years. So nice of them to have it all worked out within a week of the disaster.

We have been terrorism attacked from Area 51. So, those ultra ultra secret skunk works have finally been turned into a War of the Worlds against the populace. They didn't spare one of their own Satanic nesting spots.

FEMA and other Federal disaster relief programs cause forest fires and the resulting property loss. How, you ask? It's very simple, actually: to prevent fire you need to spend state money on proper forest maintenance. To rebuild after fire you'll get Federal money. The insentive is clear: don't manage your forests and get rewarded by windfall from the Feds. Human beings respond to incentives, especially monetary ones.

Interesting that Lahaina and Pacific Palisades were both expensive jibber jabbering, militant liberal enclaves. It seems to go with the theme that the most satisfying human sacrifices are amongst those that were beguiled and recruited as the useful idiots, or too cowardly to give up their 'advantages' for justice and truth.

Cue the Visigoths. They didn't just allow parasites to rule over them, they voted for them and cheered their election fraud.
