TODAY: Grant Cardone was contacted by FEMA and can CONFIRM the Pacific Palisades is a land grab. Democrats are burying the homeowners in “structural upgrade costs” The crazy part, 3 months ago Adam Carolla predicted this is EXACTLY how Los Angeles would steal the land. He was right “California is a Land Grab. Just informed by FEMA in California if your home was affected by fires and required to spend more than 50% of previous homes value you will be forced to raise the entire property structure to new “flood water” requirements. I will be forced to raise a perfectly good property 3-4 feet at a cost of $40-50M. This will make it impossible for anyone to rebuild adding years to completion. Everything the California govt suggested about coastal approvals, fast tracking etc was a lie.” - Grant Cardone Adam Carolla explains how the Los Angeles, California Coastal Commission is going to require $3-$5 million dollars in ground upgrades to EACH of these Malibu homes lost in the Pacific Palisades fire before rebuilding In simple terms. They’re going to take this land “People need to understand is everything here is on septic. Nothing is on a city sewer system. Every dwelling in Malibu has a separate septic system. And these houses in front, many of them were built in the 40s and the 50s and the 60s, and the codes were almost non existent. So they have septic systems that are in place now that are completely unacceptable in 2025, which when they rebuild, not that they'll rebuild in 2025, (more like) 2055 when they rebuild. And they're going to have to update the septic system, which means Coastal Commission, Ocean Sierra Club, dig it all out. And because of the proximity of the ocean, they're going to have to build seawalls so that erosion won't take their septic system. So they're going to be several million dollars into stuff that's buried in the ground. A seawall not above the ground, but a seawall that's in the ground so that the storm and the erosion can't get to it. New septic system, I mean, they may be $3-$5 million dollars into it before one piece of 2x4 is even put up in terms of framing the new house. Do you know how much bureaucracy, red tape and permits worth of nightmare this is going to be? Because regardless of whatever the mayor says, whatever the governor says about expediting this stuff, a septic system is a septic system. The code is the code, the seawall is the seawall. And they're all going to have to happen.”
