More than three months after 17,000 homes, businesses and other structures were destroyed in California's Santa Ana driven Altadena and Palisades fires, the victims of these tragic fires are facing the arduous task of rebuilding or relocating. Now that the burned debris has been removed from the lots, Los Angeles city and county have started issuing building permits. But as anxious as these former residents are to restart their lives, they are facing many obstacles to start over.
Hundreds of homeowners have sought city or county approval for permits to repair or rebuild, yet few have gotten the green light. They've found they can't afford to rebuild due to the state's strict new building codes and climate laws. Many homes were built before earthquake and climate codes were adopted. Most victims were unaware they had to rebuild under such costly restrictions.
