President Trump: Remember the Wollman skating track in Central Park, when the renovation project took over and reopened the track in less than four months when New York City could not do it on its own in six years. It is time to climb that intervention, but in the other coast, and maybe break and The California government reforms and political stagnation in the process.
Approximately 11,000 homes and an unknown number of businesses and churches, etc. They lost themselves in the Palisades and Eaton Fires In Los Angeles City and County this January. If recent history is a guide, those who lost their homes last month are watching a long and winding path to return, if ever. In 2018, Woolsey’s fire destroyed between 450 and 500 homes in Malibu when that coastal enclave was set on the Pacific Palisades neighborhood. In the more than six years after that fire, less than half of those lost houses in 208 have been rebuilt.
Given the widely larger scale of destruction in 2025 than in 2018, it expects even less response capacity of the tangle of federal, state, regional and local agencies in the future. The worst offender of all is the Coastal Commission of California, which is a diabolical monster of a state “agency”, a quasi-feudal kingdom in itself that simply does not care about the owners, since it pursues their utopian dreams of a coastal coast stripped of humans where you can make such a final result.
At all levels, many, if not most of California bureaucrats, and their federal counterparts located in California in the Environmental Protection Agency, the US Army Engineer’s Corps. UU., The fishing and life service Silvestre of the United States, do not want them to rebuild. Some want to overlap their own visions of a future “green reconstruction” or “affordable housing” and, therefore, are in the business of hindering the highest and best uses of private properties, even when those properties were previously burned houses In the foundations, houses. Often occupied by a family for generations.

President Trump knows the score when it comes to the laws of land use of California.
He has experience with them. The Trump National Golf Club is hard for the Pacific in the Green Palos Peninsula. (The golf course had been the field of Ocean Trails when a landslide took out a large strip from the links and Trump entered the property in bankruptcy and fixed it and reopened in three years. It is a spectacular course).
So here is the plan. The President and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum Search for Congress in the ongoing budget and conciliation process, say: half of the amount of $ 40 billion requested as “fire recovery funds” by Governor Gavin Newsom last week.
Then, the Congress provides the $ 20 billion in aid together with an express and detailed preference of all state, regional and local regulations that govern the burning area of the three fires (Woolsey, Eaton and Palisades, good commissioners of the commission coastal and the regional water quality control board. The legislation grants the exclusive authority of land use on those areas of the Department of Interior, Secretary’s Office.
Then, the Burgum Secretary designates an official in his immediate office to supervise the sentence of all private property burned to its current value, checks injected to all lot owners) the property market value after compensation and infrastructure Reconstruct at a price equal to the day before the market value except the insurance agreement they receive.
Burgum hires a five -star architect and law firms with experience in the area, as well as a great public works hiring firm, the type of contractor that the then governor Pete Wilson hired to rebuild the section of the interstatal 10 that collapsed in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. That reconstruction and reopening took three months because Pete Wilson was not Gavin Newsom.
The architects hired with bourgeois supervise the infrastructure master plan, the lawyers and the contractor reconstruction of cleaning and infrastructure.
At the end of the initial condemnation payments, the execution of the options and the compensation and reconstruction of the roads and the infrastructure related to the water and the power using the appropriate funds, the owners can exercise their options and rebuild it as best seems to them or Sell your individual options in the open market. If a private insurance became an owner for private insurance and chooses not to exercise its option, the federal government can package delayed options and sell to the best bidder with rights and a use: home, business or church, etc.) equal to square square footage. In the same place in the same lots before fires.
Due to the policies pursued by the State Government, especially the Incompetent Insurance Commissioner of California, Ricardo Lara, many of the owners of households, commercial and churches in the burns areas had lost their fire insurance policies such as state farm and Perhaps other insurers fled the area in the year before the fire, as the risk grew for insurers, but the premiums that were allowed to charge not because California idiots regulators would not approve rates increases according to fire risk.
Those house owners were forced to be basically bankrupt “Fair of California”, which was the option of insurance of the last resort for housing owners, since fire insurers fled the state. The “fair” plan is not financed to the amount necessary to pay the policies issued much less coverage of the coverage of the private insurance policy that expired due to the government in the absence of a large gift of federal funds.
Newsom and Trump face (Pool)
The previous plan would really represent a rescue for the owners who suffered losses by victims because California destroyed the private insurance market. That could be a “moral danger”, that is, a temptation for other housing owners at fire risk elsewhere to renounce insurance at market rates in the proposal (tremendously risky) that what the federal government He will do again and again. That is a very bad bet, since this is a unique situation. But the risk is there.
I think the president should take it and assume the project because Trump not only understands development, and he knows efficiently.
If Trump illuminates the federal acquisition of the reconstruction of these three burns areas, and if the Burgum Secretary manages to do so, the actions for private owners are deeply injured by dysfunctional bureaucracies at all levels and, the key point, the Californians They will see with their own eyes that their state does not have to be the sink of the government in which it has become.

California does not have to have a tyrannical coastal commission. It does not have to have failed schools in most of the main districts. It does not have to have an obscene waste of limited resources spotted infinitely in the money well that is the train to now in the central valley. It does not have to have a housing scarcity, a vast wave of crime, an absurd system of crazy water delivery that guarantees drought after drought or a deep and irrational prejudice against desalination plants. It does not have to have hundreds of thousands of homeless people who live in terrible conditions in the streets of each city, city and open ground.
California could be golden again as a result of the “golden age of America” of President Trump. That would be a legacy for the ages as a well -governed of California and free of the irrational and elitist visions of the progressives would be the wonder of the continent, as it was and could be again.
