If building permits for residents are not expedited, fire victims will be forced to sell. Everyone knows plan reviews take a long time. Once approved, the actual building takes a good while. And the number of builders is limited. Seniors like myself, or middle aged people will have no choice but to sell if permits are not expedited.
In this age of instant gratification people will not wait. I know of people making mortgage payments on properties that cannot be occupied. And they are paying rent. They are getting assistance, but that will not last forever, especially if there is a Republican president. If folks stop paying mortgages, the banks will repossess properties and sell them to the highest bidder.
I thank all of you for your efforts to expedite permitting and building.
