    I think Bill's consternation about regulations, licensing, and fees affecting his ability to do a simple build is no more than an illustration of a government going overboard with such things.
    If something so small is this needlessly difficult, how are other regulations affecting large scale projects? How much money is wasted because of this?
    It comes across as government making new rules and changes to further justify its own existence.

    CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) is what prevents private owners of forested areas from removing deadfall and standing dead timber, or doing strategic logging and controlled burns to create fire breaks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most private owners of forested land are in and around the exurbs.
    Logging, including removal of standing dead trees, is profitable. Even some deadfall can be sold for a profit. Private landowners interested in profit would for the most part be happy to let contractors do the work for them, and have the contractors pay THEM for the privilege. CA regulations don't allow it.
    CEQA also prevents or impedes construction of essential infrastructure. California hasn't built any new reservoirs since 1979. The population of the state has nearly doubled since then. And the wildfire risk has only increased (at least, according to the CA government).
    Also, what's this I hear about sea levels rising? Wouldn't you want to store fresh water in reservoirs rather than contribute to the rising sea levels by diverting it into the ocean? Or at least use it before you do?
    And it's all to "protect" the environment. Which has taken an absolute beating with this fire. The sheer volume of CO2 AND toxins released when 40,000 acres of forest and 12,000 homes burn? Congratulations. You just erased 15 years of climate policy in one fell swoop, and contaminated the environment with toxic, carcinogenic chemicals (of which CO2 is not one).

    • @whatevergoesforme5129
      @whatevergoesforme5129 Час назад

      Yep, it is actually the kind of progressive policies that made the handling of these forest fires (started by arsonists for the most part) more difficult. If they believe in climate change, then they should be more prepared but believing in climate change means demonizing CO2 so controlled burns done in the past will be a no-no. Protecting certain plant and animals species (environmentalism) goes hand in hand with climate change policies. And then they want all vehicles to be electric. An electric fire truck is not sustainable and unreliable even if they had the budget for these trucks, but they actually cut the budget to maintain their existing trucks. Forest fires and earthquakes are endemic in CA and it will not change even if they force the whole world to go "green" so they just need to learn from Japan where people and the government are prepared for their natural calamities even though disasters will still occur but at least, minimized.

Someone from work had a solar system installed a couple of years before we installed ours, went back and forth with the wife about doing it or not... Anyway, he was allowed to go with the panels all the way to the roof ridge but a couple of years later, they (planning dept.) wouldn't let me. I asked why, and I was told that "in case of fire, there needs to be a 3-foot clearance between the solar panels and the roof ridge." So, I asked, knowing that it won't make any difference, " you mean to tell me that if my house or roof is on fire, the firemen would stand on that 3-foot clearance between the solar panels and the roof ridge and would be safe to put out the fire but they couldn't put out a fire if standing on the other side of the roof ridge? Would firemen get up on the roof and stand on that 3-foot clearance space in case of a roof or house fire, does that make sense??" The planning dept.'s answer was "well, these are the guidance that we have to meet." Here is another... We failed the first inspection because when installing the solar panels on the roof, there was no carbon monoxide detector in the house... I could see if changing the HVAC, maybe a new system could "leak something," but why a carbon monoxide in the house if just adding solar outside? Again, crickets... A few months ago, I talked to a co-worker who added an outdoor kitchen. He also failed the first inspection for the outdoor kitchen because, you've guessed it, he did not have a carbon monoxide detector inside the house... So, if you're out by the pool, in your outdoor kitchen, you turn on the BBQ and stuff, gotta make sure no carbon monoxide will be detected in the house...

Things like, you can't use these windows, but they are OK in this county, or in this state. You need to displace x amount of airntlwith this over hood, but the city over doesn't have that? Then az or NV don't require that. Just weird arbitrary rules that slows everything down and increases costs.

      @RobertSimpson-b2j You lose all credibility when you repeat total lies without even attempting to verify the claims at all. California is a total disaster, but telling lies about things that didn’t happen takes away any credibility you might otherwise have had. You really need to smarten up. You read that BS in a youtube comment and you just ran with it as if it were a fact, when it absolutely is not. That is NOT how it works at all.

      That was already debunked by credible sources.
