there are many challenges. 1. Debris removal has just been completed. It’s hard for outsiders, including me, to fathom the sheer magnitude of this part of the recovery. 2. Permits are now being approved quickly, but they couldn’t be processed until debris was removed from both commercial and residential properties. 3. Homes are starting to be rebuilt and financial assistance is starting to flow. This is a good thing.

The challenges: It took a long time to remove debris. Longer than it should have taken. While financial assistance is coming in, it also took longer than it should have. I blame both state and federal governments for this. Insurance companies are still fighting with business and homeowners for funds. The blame for this falls squarely on the greedy insurance companies.

There’s a lot more that could be said, but these are the main points. FYI, ive received this info from a colleague of mine up in LA that has been tasked with helping the rebuild efforts.
