👉 California Governor Gavin Newsom signed executive orders and bills to expedite rebuilding and increase housing in fire-affected areas 👉 Progress has been slow, with fewer than 200 homeowners receiving rebuilding permits out of over 800 applicants 👉 Environmental regulations, such as CEQA, are not the main obstacle to rebuilding, but rather more complex issues 👉 Rebuilding requires a balance between environmental considerations and the need for new housing 👉 The housing crisis will only get worse if rebuilding is not accelerated 👉 Insurance issues, labor shortages, and expensive construction materials are major challenges to rebuilding
