comedian and podcaster adam carolla put out an insightful video rant about just how difficult it will be to rebuild, even if you had homeowners insurance  or happened to be a very wealthy hollywood actor. he put a spotlight on the monumentally obstructive permitting process in los angeles county, including additional onerous environmental agency hurdles that anyone would meet attempting to construct a new building in california. also consider: where are the thousands of competent building contractors going to come from to work on so many replacement houses in one locality at the same time? the bottom-line is that an awful lot of formerly middle-class and even well-off people will be homeless possibly for years ahead. you have not begun to hear about this.
